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.).

IrelandThis is not suitable for a quiet holiday. Although 1 pool is child free, the rest of the area, especially restaurants were full of tired children and parents unable to placate them.
On the beach, and plenty of space. Rooms a good size, but we were only in there to sleep.

CanadaIn the all inclusive drink menu, for Pina Colada, they put regular milk instead of coconut milk like in Pina Colada from Premium drink menu....sound cheaper saving and lack of respect for customer.
Breakfast, and lunch are a bit redundant...maybe create a turn over for some meals.

Kazakhstan1. There are 3 sections in the hotel, and looks like the first section next to the reception is the earliest built and requires significant renovation. 2. Cleaning was average, requiring improvements. I broke a cup (when monkey jumped yo our balcony), next day after cleaning it was still there. Meaning no one even opened the door to balcony. 3. Water in the tap is a bit salty, you can clearly feel the taste. Most probably it is everything in Mombasa, desalinization is not good. 4. Food is average. Meat was mostly tough. Fruits are not good, looks like October is not a season got fruits snd vegetables. Deserts also average.
1. Beach is beautiful, but there are some rocks in the water, so need to be careful 2. Pools are very nice 3. Staff is friendly 4. Hotel territory is nice, very green and pleasant to walk. 5. Hotel provides different types of activities, like yoga, zumba, and etc.

TurkeyMy first holiday as a solo female traveler in Africa. At the beginning I was worried about the security and any possible stalker on the beach. Then the more I spent time with the polite, friendly and protective guard Said by the sea, the more I became confident about beachboys. He taught me how to get passed them without any interaction and I’m grateful for the tip. I also appreciate all the help from other guards Edwin and Michael. Sylvia became my best friend at the hotel. Thanks to her warm welcome at the dining area, I always felt at home and very comfortable during my solo holiday. Mohammad was an excellent and reliable driver. He helped me understand the Kenyan culture with his explanations during our 1 hour drive to the hotel.

SwitzerlandThe rooms need some renovation. Our main issue was the feeling of having damp rooms, with humidity. There is a situation with the monkeys in the hotel that makes it not recommendable to open the windows. Basically if you open them you will get the monkeys in your room, so we had to leave rooms closed at all times and AC on the whole time,which makes the stay in our room very uncomfortable. This was the worst part of the stay. On the contrary the rest of the areas of the hotel, in particular the gardens, were well kept. Staff was very nice and did their best to make the hotel work for us. We wouldn´t recommend for more than 2 days... but it can be an option to stay in budget in a hotel with a nice surroundings.
Baobab Tree hotel provided a decent experience in a very nice set up. The garden is really outstanding and the option of roaming through the three hotels was very nice. The food in the buffet was good, with good variety, and we didn´t have any issues. Overall good hygiene measures. Entertainment is present, but doesn´t bother you, it is very discrete. And location in front of the beach is outstanding.

They did this after one night and they offered as an apology that we could use their facilities on our last day for no extra cost.

South AfricaThe room was large and lovely, with a huge bed and comfortable indoor- and outdoor seating options. The resort is enormous: there are 3 swimming pools and 3 restaurants. The views of the ocean are simply stunning. Breakfast was excellent and varied everyday. Lunch and dinner was very similar and towards the end of our 5th day, started to lack variety. There are excellent restaurants outside of the resort and it's worth to go and explore. The staff were simply excellent. Helpful, friendly, and attentive.

FinlandThe property is right on the beach. The architecture, landscape, well preserved indigenous trees, and green lawns provide for beautiful sea and beach views that are hard to recreate. One can effortlessly alternate between swimming in the sea, pool, and reading under a tree. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and our needs were met. The rooms were clean, air-conditioned, and have great views. Variety at mealtimes. I especially enjoyed the traditional Kenyan dishes and Indian cuisine. Consideration for guest entertainment.
