Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesIt needs a lot of TLC. It’s looking tired. The staff were busy, always working but the place needs a face lift. The air conditioner dripped onto the bed, the main door was needing repair, the bathroom window had one clear glass (see through).
Location to beach and town great. The pool area is nice, only had breakfast (tasty) in the restaurant and the staff were friendly.

SingaporeThere was no wifi in the rooms, only in the common areas and even then, it was slow. The hotel is also in need of maintenance. The light in the shower of our first room was so dim that there was no difference whether it was on or off, and the one in our second room would suddenly go off sometimes. We also experienced a bit of clogging in the toilet. Overall we had a negative experience and the price was expensive for what it was.
The only thing I liked was that the AC worked well, which was a lifesaver in the heat.

CanadaThe rooms were small and outdated. There was an electrical swith in the shower. Once you stepped out of the room, the smell of hot sewage hit you in the face. The breakfast that was included was terrible. We only went to breakfast once out of the two nights we stayed here.
The pool was nice after they turned on the lights. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is spectacular.

NetherlandsThe morning prior to arrival to the property, I received messages from Diuwak indicating that there has been a mistake in the rate for which we booked the property. We booked 2 nights for 102 USD. The owner told me that we needed to pay 90 USD more because of a mistake in the system in booking. They were very pushy for me to pay for a mistake that they made. Horrible service. The breakfast was of very poor quality and I question the kitchen hygiene. The hotel in general is very outdated. I assume that 15 years back it was a nice property, but they certainly don't have everything in order now. The shower didn't get warm and the toilet did not flush. Nonetheless I believe that this property has a lot of potential of these comments are taken into account.
The accomodation is very well located. The pool is nice.

United StatesWhere to start!! We were shown to our room that was full of flying bugs and floor was dirty, as the door was open and the gardening staff was working on the yard right in front of the door. The A/C wasn't working very well and when we went to sit down on the bed, it wasn't even a bed. It was a foam mattress top on a bed frame. Went directly to the front office to see if we could be moved to another room and when the "manager" went to see why we wanted to change rooms, he left us outside of the original room for over 45 minutes. We were hot, tired and ignored so we left. Still fighting on a refund for the 3 nights we booked and paid in advance.

Costa RicaTwo things were incorrect in Booking.com app. 1) The property is close to the beach but is not beachfront, it appears listed as if it were. 2) The room appears listed as having a small refrigerator. It does not have one. In addition, we wanted to use the TV and it didn't work properly. It went full volume without us doing anything and it would not shut off... We had to disconnect it.
The area is nice as well as the pool and the staff.

Costa RicaThe young man, that appeared to be the manager (in an upper ponytail) during breakfast was abrupt, no greeting and short with answers however the serving staff was very friendly cheerful and helpful. The shower head dripped all night, could not close. When I mentioned it to staff I was told that they where aware of the shower issue.
Pool was great. Breakfast was simple but ok. The staff was amazing except for one person (details next) We felt that it would be really nice to have a pool bar set up in the lovely area adjacent to the pool.
