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.).

BrazilWhen I tried to use the steam room, it didn't seem to be working. Even though there was a sign about children not being allowed in the jacuzzi, families let kids use it as a swimming pool and the hotel said nothing about it. I was not happy about that! No one at reception spoke English, which was a little challenging for us.
Breakfast was very good with lots of fruit, great green juice and lots of other options. The pool area was beautiful and clean. Food and drinks were also very good from the pool bar, though a little expensive.

IndonesiaMore shady places by the pool would be nice. Game room needs some attention. Paddles for table tennis were broken and it’s the worst pool table I ever ever played on - but still fun. Pool cues were old and broken. Smallest balls ever! And very weird table.
Great sauna and pool area. Bikes were great to ride along the beach. Rooms were nice with great balcony overlooking the pool. Breakfast was adequate. Overall not bad. The grounds were spacious and nice - probably the nicest hotel in the area.

DenmarkIt could be nice with a hammock in the balcony.
We were on vacation but still celebrating our honeymoon, even with the short notice the staff was very kind in decorating our bedroom, which was very nice of them. Breakfast was diverse and one could order eggs prepared in different ways or also tapiocas. Staff very kind and helpful.

GermanyThe room, the bathroom door had mould and we could smell it whenever entering the room. The beds were really uncomfortable.
The staff was really nice and the breakfast had a lot of variety and plenty of gluten free options. The pool is amazing! The location is very near the city.

ChinaIt is a convenient quiet and lovely place for travelers, especially they have a special service from a kindly gentleman Mr. Marcello. He knows Bahia a lot and much more familiar with all of the local places such as restaurants, spots for stunning views, beaches… meanwhile he is very friendly and warmly. If you need any suggestions or recommendations from locals, you won’t have even better alternatives than him, who is considered as a guide book for your amazing trip in Porto Seguro. Even he is a little bit busy sometimes, it won’t be hard for you to meet him at the hotel as long as you ask the front desk. You won’t be boring with him who is a humorous guy with excellent driving skills and funny stories.
I really like this hotel as my favorite place to stay in Porto Seguro.

BrazilThe check in was a bit confusing. They placed us in a room where there was someone. I paid for the water but they didn't have it written there. The toilet/ bathroom was not smelling well. The room was too noisy.
Some of the staff are really nice specially Sr Sodré and the others from the pool bar. The ones who help with the bags are friendly too. The food is very good.
