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.).

AustraliaThe location. I didn’t realise we were 25 minutes from the Dead Sea and quite literally there is nothing other than houses around. Also somewhat hard to find and very steep location. No marking of property name on the outside of the building. The nearest restaurant type places are 10-15 minutes drive away. There was no toaster and no matches for the gas stove so we couldn’t cook. Little signs of aging that didn’t detract from the overall stay but enough to be noticeable. The wifi is super slow. Do t come here if you need to work. The mozzie zapper right at the couch! It was super loud. Some fly screens would have been good so we could leave the doors open without all the flies coming in. We wouldn’t stay again as for the price range we can be on the Dead Sea in a similarly appointed apartment or hotel.
The property itself is well described on other reviews. Everything was quite lovely and spacious for the three of us. Could easily accomodate six people here. My teenage daughter liked having her own space downstairs. The pool obviously is spectacular but too cold for me to get in. Nice and clean. The water filter was a nice touch. Having clean pool towels. The view included the Dead Sea in the distance and the sunset was incredibly beautiful. So glad to have a washing machine and powder to use.

United KingdomThere was a few very BIG cockroaches one in the bedroom and one in the kitchen, it was evident to me this problem is a regular situation as the owner had put cockroach killer powder all around the edge of the rooms before we arrived.. (thankfully this meant when we found them they were already dead).
The property is very modern and beautiful to look at, the infinity pool really is gorgeous!

United KingdomThe property was more spacious than in the images and was plenty big enough for our family. Basil was very responsive to messages; check in was easy and the villa was clean with everything you could need. The pool was lovely in the heat and the outside area had many seating places. There was even a washing machine on arrival which was an added bonus. The villa is ideally placed between amman and the dead sea. The dead sea was only a 20 minute drive away by car. There were a strip of shops 10 minutes away with supermarkets, street food etc.

The pool and outdoor area were great. The view was good as well and compared to other Dead Sea accommodation it was reasonably priced. There was no washing machine when we went but the owner kindly offered to have out cloths dry cleaned at his expense. Good communication and an enjoyable stay.

NetherlandsIn contrast to the villa, the area is somewhat shabby. There was a problem wirh the locking of the gate, which was solved, but some extra attention could be given to this.
A beautiful villa with a garden that looks out over the death sea valley. Perfect place for winding down after two weeks of travelling through Jordan.

IsraelIt is not at the Dead Sea but at a small rural community about 20 min. drive from the Dead Sea. There is nothing to do around, no restaurants or even a grocery store. The place itself is clean and has walls to it, but lots of garbage around. The person who welcomed us seems surprised when we arrived(we did book the last minute), and spoke not a word of english
Huge place, big rooms, nice pool and pool area. Great place for stay

KuwaitThe property location isn’t the best; a lot of litter. You don’t notice this when you’re inside as there are high walls. To get to the property you have to drive down a very steep hill.
The entire property was absolutely stunning. Sheets and towels provided in plastic wrap and were incredibly fresh. There was a dust storm while we were there and the day after the guard came to clean the pool out for us. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating and the guard was always available if we needed any help. Beds were comfy and we really enjoyed playing darts! There were loads of outdoor spaces to enjoy the view! Parking inside a locked gate was amazing!

IrelandThis isn’t the actual properties fault but the surrounding area had a lot of rubbish, which caused a lot of flies, but this is nothing to do with the property, it is a problem with the actual area. You could stay anywhere here and the same problem would occur so this would not deter me from staying here.
The villa is stunning, we’d have loved to have stayed even longer! The place is clean, comfortable and really nice, felt like a real luxury to stay here! There was a cold water machine, a coffee machine, a beautiful pool and sitting area to watch the sunset. Truly a highlight of our Jordan trip, was staying here! Myself and my friends had a wonderful day and night in the villa.

AustriaWe had a lot of troubles with low water flow, no water heat, broken door locks, bad wifi, TV not working, unable to switch lights, ... Most of that came from bad communication: the guys with the key could not speak English nor write (I had to write my contract myself) and were not motivated. Some problems were corrected by the landlord via WhatsApp, but we did not bother to discuss all problems. For that money one can simply expect something different

SlovakiaWhen we came to this Villa we were really disappointed. Nothing was prepared for our stay. We came directly from the Dead sea and we needed a shower but there were missing towels and also there was only cold water at the beginning. Nothing was prepared for our stay. The Internet didn't work but it was not a big deal. There was a guard, unfortunately, he didn't speak English (I don't know how someone can invite tourists without English). I had a call with the owner about these shortcomings, but the most important thing for him was money. There was no possibility to pay with a card, but it was not a big deal. This Villa was really nice, but unfortunately, the owner did nothing to make our stay nice.
The host was very friendly and helpful, he was very communicative before our arrival. He told me all that we should need before arrival. Villa was very nice.
