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.).

South AfricaStairways dangerous for seniors. Flooring boards outside dining room need to be attended to. Lighting in the rooms need to be improved. Too dark even with lights on. Had to request for lotion n toilet roll and replacement for tea and coffee. These have to be attended to for better rating. Towels need to be checked before handing to patrons. No beach towel was available. Was given a terribly stained towel which looked like blood. It wasn't a beach nor a pool towel. Very disappointing. Chalet appearance need to be improved. Beautify surrounding with pretty gardens outside the chalet.
Location was good. Enjoyed the pool breakfast but was a very high charge noting that breakfast was included in our stay. Pool was very beautiful n clean. Loved it. Food was good and service was very good.

IndiaFront office booking team experience was pathetic as they misled and did not communicate for me to reach the resort on time by Ferry, so i missed one days stay. Restaurant did not have the sufficient food due to a rush on particular day needs proactive planning by the restaturant .
Location and staff at De foret were good. Food and ambience were good too.

IndiaThe breakfast could have been a little more elaborate! A desperate need for a good coffee machine is felt :) However, for all problems, the team helps out, so no complaints as such.
The staff makes the place worth it... super nice, comforting and helpful. The location is far enough from the jetty/market, but a rickshaw or cab is available at request. The restaurent serves AMAZING food! A walk away from Radhanagar beach, and a bus ride away from the main market/beach. I'd say just book the place, dont think twice.

IndiaNothing really. The food may be a bit overpriced but as long as the quality and service are there, you don’t mind spending the extra rupee.
The pool, the little wooden cabin in the trees, the room which are very nicely done as well as the bathroom. The staff is very professional and friendly. The bar and restaurant are nice : very cosy, no loud music and wooden decor. The path to elephant beach is a few meters away and the beach can be accessed by foot
