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.).

SingaporeStaff weren’t very helpful when we arrived. Kept asking us to confirm payment when we had clearly already paid. Restaurant was disappointing, some good options but twice we went and both times they had ran out of most of the dishes. Overall, for the price you’re paying I would expect a slightly better service.
Perfect location. Comfortable bed.

SwitzerlandApart from that we have no idea how they earned a 5 star status, many small things that added up that are absolutely not 5star service: - there is no toilet brush - the welcome drink was undrinkably sweet - the spa will be closed until end of year, upon request they made no effort in helping us book a spa treatment/massage in alternative elsewhere. - they offer airport transfer or pickup for 225‘000 IDR, which is almost 4x the price we have paid elsewhere in Labuan Bajo or if you just take a taxi. - when we asked for a taxi to a restaurant at 7 pm the answer was: we don‘t have taxi here. We had to look for a taxi for ourself. - the sundeck is full sun, there are 7 sunbeds for the whole hotel, there are NO umbrellas, even on request. There are rusty nails sticking out of the pool sundeck, which are a safety hazard. Cocktails were below average and very expensive for the area. - they do not seem to make a big effort against plastic waste in this dive paradise Komodo (plastic straws, one way cosmetique products, schampoobottles etc.) - we were in a „hillside“ room 2nd floor, it is oposite a big Minarette, you hear the Muezin blast loudly 5 times a day starting from 4 am. You also hear people walking by outside your room, and you hear the boat horn blast loudly when it arrives/leaves (also through the night 11:45 pm, 00:30 am, 5/6 am) which shook and woke us up everytime.
The room was ok although quite dark for reading. Personel was always nice. The location is very practical and central. The breakfast choice is plentiful, the view from the pool/breakfast area very nice. We were granted a early checkin, which we are very thankful for. We appreciated the check out time being 12o’ clock. The american beef burger we can definitely recommend.

KazakhstanThis hotel falls far short of its advertised 5-star rating. Despite the hefty price tag, basic services were sorely lacking throughout our stay. Room service was a disaster. The reception seemed oblivious to the supposed 24/7 service, leading to a 20-minute wait just to place an order. Despite assurances from the manager, breakfast arrived 30 minutes late and with substituted ingredients that were not up to par. Communication was a nightmare due to language barriers. Staff struggled to understand basic English requests, often disappearing when they couldn't comprehend, leaving guests frustrated and helpless. Even a simple cocktail order took 45 minutes to fulfill, only to be delivered incorrectly. The front desk was equally unhelpful, with four staff members unable to assist with anything, simply saying, "No, we cannot help you." Given the disastrous breakfast experience, we avoided dining at the hotel's restaurant, especially after reading negative reviews online. Even ordering a taxi proved impossible for the inept staff.
Location of the hotel is good, amenities also ok. That's it, the rest is just a nightmare.

CanadaI am deeply disappointed by the appalling experience my wife and I endured at this resort. Our decision to choose this hotel was based on the specific benefits offered, with a clear understanding of a nominal fee for the inclusion of one particular benefit that would cover both of us. Despite reaching out to the resort before the cancellation deadline to confirm the inclusion of these benefits, it took an unreasonable amount of communication and providing photo proof before they reluctantly acknowledged their inclusion. However, upon check-in, the resort blatantly attempted to exclude the benefits and, even when presented with undeniable proof, insisted on charging us double, directly contradicting their earlier communication and our booking criteria. To make matters worse, this confrontation occurred in front of other guests, with staff speaking loudly enough for everyone to hear our private business. After insisting on speaking with management, we received apologies for the inconveniences and assurances that the matter would be rectified. However, despite their promises, we were left waiting for hours until late evening, only to discover that the property was unwilling to honor the benefits we had paid for. This left us with no choice but to scramble to find an alternative location for the romantic supper we had planned at the resort. Furthermore, we felt compelled to remain at the property, sacrificing our desire to leave, simply because I prioritized my wife's eating and comfort over finding another place. This decision made our brief stay incredibly awkward, exacerbated by a disruptive breakfast experience marred by loud boat engines passing by every minute and the unpleasant discovery of flies in my eggs. There was also mold smell in our room which we discovered in areas of our bathroom. This unprofessional conduct caused us extreme embarrassment and stress, which is utterly unacceptable. I strongly advise others to steer clear of this establishment.
Nothing.

Very expensive: other boutique hotels in the area provide a better alternative for solo travellers. Small swimming pool.
