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.).

United KingdomUse of plastic needs to be minimised as Havelock has no place for plastic waste. Plastic bottles to be replaced with steel or glass and also advise use of ecofriendly soaps to promote sustainable tourism in this ecosensitive zone.
Amazing view, good sized room and friendly service.

IndiaRooms were small if we needed and extra mattress for the third person. But otherwise for a couple or a couple with one kid, it is sufficient. We took three rooms -there was problem with AC in one room and they fixed it anyway.
Loved the food, the staff's behaviour. Family friends and kid friendly. Kids enjoyed the swimming pool

SloveniaThe location, not by the beach... No privat balcony, small room, the view from the windows on construction site... Not all what Europeans would consider a tropical island retreat... We only stayed one night... Than changed to much cheaper room, but right on the beach, among the palm trees opposite of the Senses hotel...
Bed was comfortable, friendly stuff, AC was good

NetherlandsThink the place still has more potential, e.g.; - beach front could be equipped with some beds/hammocks - breakfast could be presented a bit better, get rid of the papercups to limit waste - pool area can be made more attractive, with some lounge chairs & beds, more greenery - restaurant area can be made to look a bit more cozy All small things that could even further improve the experience :)
Well-equipped rooms Nice pool Friendly staff

IndiaThe complementary breakfast was a disaster, if they could make it slightly better it would be really a great place to stay. After having the breakfast, we did not have courage to use their room service or their restaurant.
This could be a really great place to stay, given it is quite close to Kala Pathar beach, also lot of eating choices in the neighborhood. Staff was friendly and helped arrange scooter, booking of scuba which was also great.

GermanyThe breakfast could have more options, especially for non-indians.
The manager took care of every wish and was all the time helpful with activities, scooter rent, packed breakfast at the morning of leave or ferry drop for example. The hotel was clean and the view from pool, especially at night, wonderful between all the palm trees. I can recommend this stay, location is nice.
