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.).

IrelandThe bathroom toilet didn’t flush and it flooded for a while after showering. Some staff weren’t very friendly and at times.
Location was great, my hut was newly refurbished so it was grand, bed was comfy and lots of space in the room with AC, a fridge and desk too. Easy access to the beach as well.

United KingdomThe message center, whilst the massage guy was good. The woman at the front lied to me about the amount of time for the massage, the cost and come to talk to me the whole way through the massage. She needs a lesson on how to be professional also and understand that a massage is for relaxation. Not talking.
Great location away from the busy beach, nice comfy huts and nice staff. Bed was really comfy and it was nice watching the monkeys and cows just walk around in the resort. Fridge is a plus too.

IndiaBathrooms need to be well sealed as over time small openings allows friendly harmless beings like frogs and crickets to venture inside. Well if you want off beat living in nature's lap then prepare for nature's beings to show up to great you ;)
The best part is the freedom of your own little sit out garden with a view of the ocean from most rooms. We took the village style rooms with private a sitout with a mesmerizing view. You wake up to birds singing and waves softly breakign onto the shore. The place is discreet and quiet and napa at any time will be peaceful.

IndiaThe room was simple with a bed and shower, however, there was no gyeser in the cabin we booked which was a two person premium. There is no television or fridge. However, the room is well built and has very effective air conditioning, so it is fairly comfortable. It is very much like a deluxe camping cabin in a national park in the UK or US. The staff were very attentive and extremely helpful. Sindiya was always available to answer any questions or provide assistance

GermanyIn between the big rocks on and next to the property was very sadly quite some rubbish and trash. There is music and/or live music every night and noise and music from surrounding clubs (especially during the weekend) and it’s not quiet till midnight or even later.
Staff was friendly including the manager. The mosquito net around the bed was very good. There was a water kettle and coffee and tea in the room and free water refill outside. For Indian standards it was quite clean, but indoor and outdoor it could still be better.

United StatesWe chose Ourem Palace in Palolem beach after looking at many other places for our week long stay. It’s location at the southern end of the beach is set among large boulders on the beach with the bungalows running up the side of the only hill in Palolem. We had a nice garden setting with a small lawn where we could sit in privacy enjoying the the shade of the trees . The room was comfortable and clean, plenty of hot water and a coffee maker which was well used . Being on a hillside facing the sea, we had a refreshing breeze so we didn’t need to use our A/C very often. The staff are friendly and helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to make your stay as pleasant as possible. But what really sets Ourem Palace apart is the owner, Rohan. From the moment we arrived, he went out of his way to ensure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. There is live music every night in the restaurant with some very good musicians. The food is well prepared and the service friendly.
