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 KingdomThe WIFI doesn't sufficiently cover the whole house which wasn't ideal for a work trip, but otherwise nothing else to raise.
Our stay was perfect - Agnes our host and Peris who checked us in and out were both very helpful and friendly. There is so much space, and a beautiful outside area. Myself and my colleagues will definitely revisit - the value for money is a huge draw.

The house is super huge, homey. My family and I enjoyed our stay. The host warm welcome and facilitation was highly appreciated. The home is baby friendly and has a babycot and highfeeding chair making our baby comfortable as well. We were able to also make use of the kitchen and chill at the huge and comfy lounge. Highly recommend to all tourists passing othaya, it is also easily accessible with such a huge compound, asante sana

United KingdomThe owner asked as if we needed a chef, which we didn't. But it turned out that it is the chef who prepares the breakfast. So, say yes if you are asked about the chef. By the way, the owner arranged the breakfast items for us at the last minute. Thanks
Very good place, nice and clean, away from Crowds. Easy to find. Great communication. Would stay here again.

KenyaThis place is quite a hidden Gem in Othaya. The place is immaculate, the staff are super friendly and the chef they gave us was awesome. Its a nice place to visit with the family. There is a tea farm next to it that you can visit plsu there is a tea factory down the road that allows visitor. Also down the road and with a little hike through the forest, there is a river. We had a lot of fun here....

Everything was lovely- the staff, the space, the rooms, the outdoor seating area - our babies had a lot of fun running around the house and we felt safe. The food was great too, the chef was considerate of our young kids and even made us some snacks for the kids to eat as we travelled back home
