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 StatesOH MY God! The music blared until 5 am Monday morning. The base kept banging for hours. Who parties so late on a Sunday night? No mosquito netting in my room, which is necessary in a malarial zone.
It’s close to the airport and I have stayed here before. The pool is clean. The grounds are well-tended.

GermanyThat we had to leave:))
This place is so wonderful that you just don‘t want to leave and want to enjoy every inch of it. It is huge but every single detail is so well taken care of, that one doesn‘t stop being amazed how they maintain it so well. It lies right on Lake Victoria with its gorgeous views , so you enjoy cool breeze most of the time and have friendly staff members that do their job flawlessly. You have a huge infinity pool that looks over the lake and it is really cold so be prepared to get a bit chilly))) No words about the rooms, the villas are just perfect, it cannot get more comfortable than that, with a huge bathroom with hygene articles that you didn‘t even think you might need, super clean shower with good water pressure and plus a bathtub. In the room itself you will find your enormous bed and a tasteful couch/armchair that invite you to chill the whole time, a big wardrobe where you can unpack 3-4 suitcases and a beautiful dressing table of a retro style which is definitely a gift for women especially. As if this all is not enough, you have also a balcony - again with comfy chairs where you can enjoy the singing of various kinds of birds, listening the water sounds from the small waterfall and enjoy the beauty of mysterious Victoria. We would really really love to go back to this Garden of Eden one day. By the way, ‚malaika‘ means ‚ angels‘; I guess it is really angels that take you there because you get a heavenly rest.

United StatesThe little" step" leading to the women's bathroom is not visible. I almost fell. It is a huge accident waiting to happen! ! Also, I noticed someone smoking in the lounge. It made it very difficult for me and my friend to remain in the same area or even in the restaurant. This is extremely unhealthy, not to mention how inconsiderate that guest was! Besides that, your place is pretty nice.
