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.).

CanadaOur villa didn't have air conditioning in the common areas, only in the bedrooms, so we couldn't really hang out in the living room together because it was so hot. The shower in the bathroom didn't want to properly drain, and the laundry's humidity made the whole villa smell a bit "wet". If you're unlucky, loud free roaming chicken will wake you up in the morning.
You truly get the vibe of being in the middle of the jungle here. Beautiful and lush landscaping, hidden and private pools, hammock in the back - all here to make you calm and relaxed. You can get their local style breakfast in the back, surrounded by gorgeous tropical plants. The pools are open until quite late, and since it's not a big property you could easily find time when there are no other people around. The car can safely be parked in the front of the villa.

New ZealandThe curtains covering the whole room and facing the complex were see-through at night, so felt a bit uncomfortable really relaxing in our own space. Weird door in the shower into another area (unknown area!) which although was locked from our side, had a gap above the door. Quite an odd set-up, felt like someone could look over the shower (or come in!) at any point.
Nice location a bit out of town, comfortable and very clean, great hammocks and lovely pool.

IndiaThe pool was run down, the property was quite small and most walking paths were around other units; overall it wasn't the same vibe as the pictures.
The staff were the best part of our stay, super friendly and nice to chat with. It was also a very quiet spot, so we enjoyed that. We definitely enjoyed the king bed, and the ac was working great!

CanadaAppliances were very old and not useful, we rented for convenience of kitchen but did not cook and big meals there
Had enough beds/rooms to accommodate a family of 5, was hard to find suitable accommodations in La Fortuna for our family (2 adults, 2 teenagers and a baby). The only alternative was to rent a house on VRBO, Price for Aunty Arenal was better than VRBO.

United StatesWe were given a room that wasn't very desirable. There were ants that we had to deal with inside the room plus a lizard that my wife freaked out about, but was something I enjoyed seeing. However, there were 4 cabins that looked very nice. The yard and swimming pool were well taken care of and beautiful. The breakfast was okay and included some traditional Costa Rica cuisine.

Great service. The team were very pleasant and helpful. We wanted to stay another night at short notice and were able to do so easily.

Norwayread many comments saying the host was fantastic, helpful and friendly... we probably didn't meet the right person... the woman in charge came the 2nd day of our stay, without asking how we were doing, just asking us to come to pay - tried then to discuss a bit to get to learn some stuff on what we could do - she didn't have any special recommendations of activities in the surroundings, except the standard ones listed on all websites... a bit disappointed there, because we selected the place also based on the positive comments regarding the host...
