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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomIt can be a bit noisy at night because you are in the village and there is life, but it’s also part of the overall experience, isn’t it?
Location! Location! Location… and Janine!! In front of the beach, in a small village. Not touristic at all. The room is on the first floor with a full view on a beautiful and secluded sandy beach, from the 6 windows. It is huge and nicely furnished. We also loved that the bathroom was outside and that we could take our breakfast and dinner directly on the beach. As if the whole beach was ours. And there is… Janine who brings the whole stay to the next level. She is lovely, always with a smile, will gladly book your trip to Cayo arena (a must!) and, if you ask her, she will tell you all about the local life (which she knows for sure, she has been here for more than 8 years and has been managing Tropic ecolodge and Villa Rosa for 5 years!). We learnt so much. And she prepares amazing cocktails too! As for the dinner, we had very tasty fish, lambis, prepared by the small restaurant next door and brought directly to our table on the beach (to be paid directly to the restaurant). Overall a small hidden paradise and you almost feel you are part of the local life too. Stay at least two nights… or more.

DenmarkFantastic place and the best host in the world. She explained everything around, told numerous stories about way of being there which was super interesting. We had a problem with the car and she organized local people to help us. The place is magical. Super safe and friendly, paradise that you need to see and experience.

GermanyVery loud music on the street at both nights. Plenty of mosquitoes.
The lodge is beautiful. And Cayo Arena (sandbank in the sea with coral reefs) is amazing, especially if you get there early in the morning before the crowds arrive.
