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.).

IndiaThe location is a little bit away from the main road. But not isolated. You will definitely need to have your own bike/car. Other than that, nothing. A little on the pricey side but i believe it's more to do with the aggregators and the additional charges they tack on.
The place was great! The staff attitude was awesome!! Especially the manager Mr Jeethu. We had an issue with the air conditioning and requested a room change and were upgraded in less than a few minutes!! And the owner Mr Charles interacts with the guests staying there. Not the usual stuff about his property alone. He is open to constructive feedback and listens patiently. Breakfast isn't your usual buffet type, but nevertheless it's delicious and pretty good. It's all you can eat, so don't worry!! We were pretty impressed with the property and our stay.

United KingdomThe location is a bit out of the way, so you will need a tuk tuk or taxi for the beach.
Very quiet and homely atmosphere. Staff were very helpful and kind. The breakfast was delicious with an Indian speciality offered alongside eggs etc. The room was clean and bright with a good bathroom and plenty of hot water.

IndiaWe liked everything.
It was an amazing stay at Half hotel , the experience is just unforgettable. I went with my family and we had spent a quality in those three days . The rooms were absolutely stunning, with large windows and countryside view while the aesthetics were top- notch . Cleanliness was A- class and the staff hospitality was beyond words . The staff were so nice and polite and most importantly helpful . They took immediate actions and resolved any kinds of problems in no time and would assist my family in every step which made us feel safe and secured as if we are at our own place . The Manager ,Vishal was so nice and jolly person along with the other staffs who were just so amazing in their work. The breakfast was complementary, and was absolutely sumptuous and is worth mentioning given the quality and quantity. Sometimes the Owner of the place visited and gave us some local foods to try which was a very touching gesture because we don't see in commonly. To conclude, half hotel will be my go-to place whenever Goa is at my travel list . Lots lof love !!!! P.s : one should definitely try the cute pool because it is a cherry on top !!!

United KingdomThe location was a little bit out of the way for me, but it’s really good if you want a bit more peace and quite. It’s still only a 10 minute walk from the main road.
Staff were really helpful and friendly. The owner came by in the morning and gave me some suggestions on where to go next, what to see and just gave some really good recommendations.

IndiaThe only thing I didn't like was the pool. There wasn't any shower and changing room for the pool. It created confusion and made us feel a little uncomfortable.
The way the owner of the property met us personally and asked us about the facilities provided was really an addition to the great location and calm environment of the hotel.

United StatesMy in-laws recently spent over a week at the Half Hotel in Calangute and had a comfortable and pleasant stay overall. They particularly enjoyed the hotel's homey feel, clean rooms, and central location. The stay was made especially pleasant by the exemplary service provided by the staff. Special shout out to Mr. Charles - the owner - who was extremely down-to-earth and welcoming, and Jeetu and his team (Vishal, Abhishek, Dolcey, and Rajan), who went above and beyond to ensure their experience was outstanding. Their warm-hearted hospitality and commitment to customer satisfaction were truly commendable. Everyone was extremely accommodating and always ready to assist with a warm smile. The small, family-owned vibe and thoughtful interactions were deeply appreciated, and left my in-laws with lasting memories of the warmth and hospitality from their stay.

IndiaFunctional issues, though very few. They do not have a restaurant, but do serve a freshly cooked breakfast out of a predefined menu from a small kitchen. More choices would have been nice. The water pressure in the taps was low. The washrooms were very tiny. The night staff is a bit irresponsible. Leaves post and doesn't answer calls at times (might be a one off case I experienced though). Open parking on the roadside. I found the prices to be a bit on the higher side, against the value they offer... But not really complaining.
Quaint is the word. The hotel is at an off-beat location, away from the crowd. The rooms are spacious and have an additional futon sofa that doubles as a bed which is enough for 2 people to cuddle. To our surprise it has 2 bathrooms and a separate shower. The decor is also very minimal and classy. The rooms are very clean. It is located in a residential area, and thus very quiet during evenings (personal preference though, might be a turn-off for some). The staff is courteous and quite helpful. Met the owner of the property too... Nice guy!
