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.).

CanadaThere is no elevator and no pool. Also, they were very slow in the restaurant. We waited very long for food and to receive our bill after eating. The staff at the restaurant were friendly but could likely benefit from some customer service training. The food was tasty and well prepared.
Clean rooms, comfortable beds, friendly and helpful staff, and beautiful well-kept grounds. This is an excellent location in Georgetown close to Bourda Market, Botanical Gardens, St. George Cathedral, Stabroek Market, Shopping Centres, etc.

United KingdomSince covid the management have taken away the chairs outside each room. That was a nice feature and should be reinstated. We also used to appreciate the complimentary biscuits and snacks that were left in the room pre covid - they have gone too.
The ambience is lovely - old colonial wooden house with relaxed vibes.

SwitzerlandIt took a long-time to get hot water in the shower. This is however a general problem with hotels in Guyana. The lack of a pool is definitely a disadvantage for Cara Lodge. The owners should consider building a pool for the guests.
The hotel is a charming historic building. I could however benefit from a renovation preserving its character.

GermanyStaff a bit slow (in Restaurant and in Reception). Saying that they are superfriendly.
Perfect Boutique / Heritage Hotel. I would recommend CARA Lodge with 100%. Location is perfect; I could walk to all sights from the hotel. In case you need a taxi its easy to order at the reception. You just need taxi in case you need to go airport or nighttime (highly recommended not to walk in Georgetown by night). I loves this place an dwill be back in this Hotel in case I visit Georgetown again. Restaurant in Hotel offers great trinidad food, I loved the curry (and the beer :-) )
