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.).

ThailandLovely oasis in San Jose. Peaceful and tucked away from busier streets. Comfortable rooms with plenty of spaces around the property to hang out. Delicious breakfast everyday and friendly, accommodating staff. Would recommend to anyone!

United StatesBreakfast starts at 7; we arrived at 7:15 after a van full of travelers. Buffet was never really replenished or checked. Staff was still helpful and delivered food from menu to the table. To be expected from a smaller hotel, You can hear people in the hall ways and doors shutting. No worries, it gets super quiet at night. Nothing out of the ordinary for hotels this size and type in my opinion.
Our room did not have A/C, at check-in in the afternoon - I was worried, but the room never got hot. At night such a cool breeze came inside the room, I learned an A/C is not needed. In fact the room not having A/C made the stay more enchanting. This property is a truly enchanting experience. The café in front of the hotel is such a tasty place to eat dinner. Hotel is located walking distance to a mall with a great food court and other nice restaurants. The property is also a short 10 dollar taxi cab ride to the center of town with museums, churches, and shopping.

United KingdomOnly tiny issue is a well hidden entry by car up a slope. Not much that can be done about that.
The place is full of character. There's a chessboard, coffee machine, nice garden and a pleasant breakfast was served. The place suited our needs as a gateway for heading south by road.

United StatesThe hotel is located a bit outside the center of the city. The provided liquid bath soap and shampoo were very watered down and therefore hard to use.
Hotel Ave del Paraiso is very cute and well maintained. The room was comfortable, and there are cozy public areas to sit and drink tea or coffee.
