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 KingdomLovd everything about this place.
A tranquil peaceful oasis, literally the best place in Rio. You would never know this place exists - such a peaceful place amongst the noise, hustle and bustle. Rob and his team are such a pleasure to be around, the lovely dog Luna loves cuddles and this place is an absolute gem. If or rarher when return to Rio, we will choose this place only. Everything is nearby, you're right next to the main attractions yet it is so beautiful and you feel like on a tropical holiday. Lovely breakfast too and Rob has all the advice you can think of. Thank you 😊

It’s a wonderful place in a beautiful and safe area of Rio, like a little oasis with hammocks, garden, little pool and wonderful view. The hosts are super friendly and nice people, truly devoted to give the best experience to their guests. Their breakfast kept me full till the evening! And the breakfast room is very beautiful and inviting. Charismatic cat and dog round up the experience.

United StatesThe proprietors are very focused on giving a good experience. I had a lot of trouble with the heat in Rio in mid-summer, but the air conditioning gave excellent respite. The bathroom facilities were kept very clean. Breakfast was good. We took two all-day tours with Rob, one of the owners. He took us to the far west of Rio, and we had an opportunity to see natural habitats and cultural amenities and to dine on delicious seafood we would otherwise have missed. Don't miss the chance to taste moqueca de peixe - a wonderful fish stew. The price was very reasonable, considering that it was Carnaval season. We had absolutely no problem getting to the property via taxis, which are abundant everywhere. When at the property, we mostly used Uber to go down the hill to various neighborhoods such as Lapa, Centro, Copacabana, Ipanema, and Jardim Botanico. On one occasion, we had to walk down. By using the staircases that Rob told us about, it was a much shorter walk than it otherwise would have been.

United StatesEverything was lovely - no problems at all.
What a wonderful place to stay in Rio. Quiet and comfortable, on a hill with beautiful views of the city - but right in the center of it all. My daughter and I came in for a quick visit to see the Taylor Swift concert. We landed during an intense heat wave - over 105 F. Our room had AC, we took a dip in the pool to stay cool, and we lazed in the hammocks in the garden with the turtles and Luna, the dog. The heat broke on day two, so we did some sightseeing. It was very easy to call an uber or cab to get around - short trip to Sugarloaf and other destinations. We also walked down the hill to get meals - it's about a 10-15 minute walk using a combination of the road and staircases that snake through buildings (which cut down on the length of the trip). I did this several times, including in the early evening, and felt very safe. The breakfast each morning was really lovely - fresh fruit, bread, eggs, cereal, coffee. And Rob was super helpful giving advice, helping to arrange activities, etc. We pre-booked the car service to and from the airport - I would definitely recommend that. We also used the metro and train to get to the concert. I would definitely come back here.

Beautiful view of the top of the mountain, located in a quiet and safe neighbourhood, easy access to the main attractions such as Sugar Loaf and Cristo. We mainly used Uber during our stay. Rob and Richard are amazing hosts! Always smiling and willing to help, giving us great tips on places to visit/ eat. Great breakfast with toasts, eggs, yogurt, fruits and juice.
