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.).

IndiaThey cheated us, we booked king bed and they joined two twin beds and told us to get on with it. They didn’t change the room even after we asked them several times. Roos size was about 90sft, they advertised it as 3800sfy Breakfast hygiene is really bad. They were touching food with hands

United KingdomThe attitude of the reception staff when l had to change rooms due to the allocated room being in the full glare of the sun all day. Could not use the Balcony as too hot. Found a room with a shaded balcony but it was a lower budget room than what l had booked. The receptionist was VERY reluctant to change rooms and after much deliberation was told that she was not prepared to lose the difference in room prices if l swapped to a lower priced room. I told the female receptionist that l was not about the money but where l felt more comfortable. Was shown the room that I was interested in (224) and was happy to take it. I then returned to my pre-booked suite to pack my bag to move when there was a knock at the door from the concierge saying that the receptionist was sorry but l could not have that room after all but could look at others but away from the pool view that l booked. After returning to the reception and following a heated discussion l was allowed to move into room 224. It put a bit of a downer on the start of our holiday. The hotel staff, Cleaners, Restaurant, and Pool staff were excellent and very attentive.
Standard of food was excellent.

United KingdomNothing it was all great. We went in mid October so the tourist season hasn’t started so there are no beach beds or parasols so you have to make do with towels on the sand, but that’s not anything to do with the hotel.
This place is a hidden gem a tropical oasis set off the main road and 100m to the beautiful Candolim beach. The staff from cleaners, pool attendants, security and restaurant are wonderful who can’t do enough for you. The food is great, generous and highly quality. I can’t speak highly enough about The Sonesta Inn.

IndiaBreakfast was not that great. The rooms appeared renovated but did not meet the standards. The initial payment mechanism upon booking was quite a hassle. It was sorted out on check-in though.
The location was good and the staff was also quite helpful.

United Arab EmiratesThe rooms were not as shown in photos. They were much below 4 Star. The reception area is not airconditioned. The photographs on the website are misleading as they are of when the property was new.
Breakfast was really good and had a lot of variety. Location was good. It is 10 minutes walk to the main road where all shops, restaurants, etc. are available. Getting transport is no issue.

This place is an oasis in the storm of Goa. Would 100% stay again. Staff very attentive of all your needs and nothing was any trouble. Room very comfortable, pool was great. Hotel is in-between the busy part of Goa and the peaceful part allowing you to choose your day. Diverse breakfast. Very peaceful nights.
