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.).

NetherlandsThe lack of a Bar or Spa. But I saw they were working on it.
It’s a beautifully designed and well kept resort. The views are nice and the room so clean. We had a mediocre (not to say bad) experience before staying here so we cancelled our booking and we went to this resort without a reservation. They took us in after booking through this website and I couldn’t have been happier. The pool was nice, the food was also quite good. All in all was an amazing experience for us.

GermanyPrice was on the higher end when comparing to the services provided. Could get hotels with better location/services at similar or lower prices. Location wasn't the best, technically next to the sea but don't expect a standard "beach" experience where you can go into the ocean or lay on the sand etc. Amenities in the room were a bit strange. I understand the need to use environmentally safe products but all the body lotion, shampoos etc felt like someone took regular products and watered them down, shower caps fell apart by the mere act of opening etc. Not exactly a negative but I don't know where else to write it: the property doesn't have a bar license, so keep that in mind when visiting.
The staff were really friendly and went out of their way to help where possible. Room was spacious. Naturalist at the property was very knowledgeable. Coffee provided in the room was really great, better than most hotel coffees I've had.

United StatesWished more choices for breakfast. No negative sentiment otherwise.
Location, Location, Location!! Fantastic property with its own private beach. Although the beach is not particularly for swimming due to too many corals/rocks close to shore, its still nice to sit in hammock or chairs and enjoy the ocean. The room was very spacious. I was not particularly thrilled with the breakfast choices, although they do have egg /dosa station.

IndiaIt was a family vacation for 6 days and we chose Tilar Silo, a CGH resort. In the past we have stayed at other CGH resorts and we really enjoyed their hospitality. So choosing Tilar Silo was a no-brainer for us. This resort is right on the Vijaynagar beach. After a warm welcome, we had a nice presentation by Mr. Anil about the resort, location etc. The room is spacious and has a nice sitout facing the beach. Like all CGH resorts they are very environmentally conscious. Amazing food and service. The staff is very proactive and very helpful with suggestions on location, transportation or local food etc. We had a very informative tidal walk with their in house naturalist Akhil and Anand. They have a varied menu daily, based on the arrival of fresh food. And they share the same daily morning, so one can order in advance since they believe in slow cooking. Unfortunately we had to cut short our visit since we planned the return to Chennai same day. In my experience its rare for resort to refund, when it was our mistake and we advanced our return by a day last minute but CGH was very gracious enough to refund. ( Its always better to plan checkout one day before and so one can catch the flight next day, given the ferry can get delayed or cancelled due to weather conditions) Congratulations to Mr Anil and team for a fantastic stay and treated us like family, look forward to visit again and other CGH resorts!

The most beautiful (unfortunately only) 6 days in Tilar Siro! We have never felt such concern for hospitality in any hotel. Thanks to everyone's maximum commitment, we felt "like in cotton wool" every day. We had booked a room without a sea view and yet we got one with a view, as it was not currently booked. Every day we had a wonderfully tidy and fragrant room. The breakfasts were excellent with the possibility to try Indian or European cuisine. The amazing reception always arranged for us everything that a person asked for or just asked. We really fell in love with tea at five o'clock every day with warm cookies. Every day a new daily menu sent on WhatsApp so that we could choose in peace. When the food was ready, we were notified by phone, so we could spend the preparation time in any other way. A big and very nice surprise was to get the whole menu in our native language!! Thank you! It was also never a problem to agree in advance and order anything else that was not on the menu. In Tilar Siro, a wish is simply fulfilled without almost having to say it. We were at the hotel off-season, and in such a wonderful environment it was a real rest and balm for the soul. Our daughter cried when we left, and although we don't visit the same places twice, we would love to return to Tilar Siro again (out of season). Thank you for everything you have done for us as all services exceeded our expectations. You prepared the most beautiful holiday for us. Stay who you are because you are incredible with a constant genuine smile on your face. Mr. Anil Kumar can be proud of each and every one of you!! Thank you once again, Martin, Lenka, Amélie.
