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.).

SwitzerlandThe fridge was only cooling slightly below ambiente temperature. No cleaning, or towel change was done during our stay of 4 days.
5 Minute walk to beach. 5 minutes walk to Main street. Well equipped kitchen, blender, toaster, gas stove. We loved that there was a box with coffee, sugar and a mocca coffee cooker. Pool was good, plus pavillon with a gas barbecue.

CanadaCould hear the neighbors talking as the houses are pretty close one to another but definitely ok with ear plugs.
Super spacious place, with trees around and a nice swimming pool. Communication upon arrival was excellent, it was definitely one of the best hotels we stayed at during our trip.

Dominican RepublicVery friendly staff, clean rooms, well kept greens and the unique pool design was perfect for both smaller kids (shallow platforms on the sides) and adults who want a bit of depth to swim in. Staff was always nearby to help but never bothersome or intrusive, perfect for me. Nearby beach was amazing! Very safe feel to the area - we had a great time.

United StatesYou need transportation to the restaurant area, you could walk, but it could take a while.
The location was great, it is a beautiful spot 5 mins away from La Playita Beach. Highly recommended place to stay!! The beach that is close by it's beautiful and you won't need more than that! You will need to drive to the main street where all the restaurants are, but other than that, this place is great!

FinlandWe didn’t get the info when booking that you can pay only by cash, and it cost us 40 euros to get the extra cash from ATM. Bed was “well slept”, and there was a pit in it. Wifi worked mainly outdoors.
We stayed for 5 nights and liked the apartment a lot. Stefano was really helpful via WhatsApp and the staff was very friendly and helpful too. The location was 5 minutes walk from the beach, beautiful and peaceful, since it wasn’t right next to main street. The environment was lovely - few cows walked free in the park next to hotel! <3 The kitchenette had everything we needed.

United StatesThis stay is a great location in Las Galeras - a beautiful walk to Playita (beach) and a nice distance walk into town (also peaceful and pleasant). It’s a very relaxing location, pool and with kind staff. Meals at Villa Serena nearby are a nice option for a view or if you desire additional diet options. The host is easily reachable and welcoming, fluent in various languages. Some Spanish or French is helpful in this area though you can get by without being practiced. I stayed here and in the area for nearly 3 weeks solo with no problems.

CanadaAlthough clean bedding and towels are available and plentiful, cleaning of the apartment is not included . We were there for 2 weeks and didn't mind sweeping and keeping the kitchen clean. We weren't, however, about to go out and buy cleaning supplies.
The location was central to the town centre and a number of restaurants . Playa Playita just a short walk too. The pool area and gardens are beautiful so we spent a lot of time around it. The kitchen offered more than expected when comparing to other places we have stayed. This includes a good working stove, toaster, blender and sufficient pots and pans. The bed was comfortable; bedding nice and towels as well. The staff are very friendly , professional and Stefano extremely helpful.
