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.).

Everything. It is charming place near to all the town facilities but in a quiet place. Staff is extremely kind and helpful. Decoration is very beautiful. Filtered water for free is a very important aspect for me in an accomodation due to reduction of plastic impact.

CanadaThe WiFi! It was pretty bad. We had planned to do research and bookings during our stay, but we basically had to go out to a cafe to get any service. And our room was over the yard of the restaurant which made it noisy most days.
The hotel was lovely, great staff. The food in the small restaurant was quite good. Even though we had to buy our breakfast, the choices were a great change from the usual eggs and arepas in the rest of Colombia. Good location to visit most of the sites in Popayan.

CanadaExcellent value! The kitchenette and spacious sleeping/sitting area in the suite made the stay of several nights very pleasant. The location, close to the centre of the historic zone but quieter, was a bonus. Terrific healthy breakfasts in the cafe downstairs as well. Gold stars all around!

GermanyKim& Tony are awesome nice and helpful people from Scotland. They are doing everything to make you feel welcomed and comfortable and can give you a lot of tips where to travel in Columbia. The optional breakfast (COP 12.000) is very good and since the CARACOL is also a coffeehouse/bistro drinks and food are available all day and local people come here as well to relax and chat in the nice backyard. The hotel provides a (very clean) washing machine and a dryer for COP 20.000. The rooms are very clean, the beds comfortable and the shower has warm water. What could be improved is a bit better Wifi connection and some hangers for clothes in the room.

AustraliaRoom allocated was just next to reception. It was noisy and the cafe literally just outside the door and window cranked up (with music) at 8AM. It was a Sunday morning. Monday was much quieter. Shame because the room was otherwise lovely and comfortable
Lovely clean well located hotel. Hot shower. Real nice room. They dried my clothes for me in hotel laundry.
