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 StatesAll the while, we couldn't help but notice that this property could stand an overhaul and become a 5 star resort. It's that pretty. While we are there it could have used some grass cutting, raking, and general landscaping. The gazebo overlooking the river is beautiful BUT the river has taken a huge bite out of the bank. The restaurant is beautiful and the wifi is only available in this area but it's a great place to hang out. Food and drink costs inflate your bill here. An imperial is $4US and fixed price dinner might run about $20pp.
Talari kinda unfolds while you are there. We rolled in late in the afternoon and no one was really around. A few minutes passed and the owner came out. It felt as if we were the only guests that day. He gave us a cool room and none of the other rooms close us were occupied that night. Later some professional ornithologists came in and they were great about showing us some beautiful birds. The pool is large and cool. It's next to a large and beautiful river - El General - with great views all the way down valley. There is about 2km of cut trail on the property to hike. The rooms are extremely clean and the beds tight. The climate was fantastic. warm in the daytime but quite cool at night.

United StatesThe lodge grounds and rooms were very run-down. The bottom line is that either the price needs to lower (to about $50) or the lodge needs to be maintained. I paid about 2 1/2 times more than what i should have, given the dilapidated state it is in. For instance, Moss and mold growing out of roof, cold jacuzzi, cold shower, old mattress,pothole road on way down, etc. The room is very basic. It’s fine, but its $50 fine. Wouldn’t recommend unless u r just looking for a quiet place to lay your head and don’t mind overpaying. Restaurant just up the road for dinner is phenomenal.
Restaurant patio area is nice and good for birdwatching. Quiet and dark at night which made for an excellent night of sleep. Large bed. Nice to walk down to see the river.
