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 KingdomI was there 4 nights and my room wasn’t cleaned in this time which would have been nice. But honestly I have very little bad things to say, it was lovely
Felt super luxurious as a backpacker to have my own bungalow with a huge bed and a balcony with a hammock. The location is amazing, just a few minutes walk from the ferry. You can hire bikes here to cycle around the island. Super laid back and lovely.

United KingdomSometimes the water pressure in the bathroom was really low which made it difficult to shower but I think this is common in the area, there were also some gaps around windows/doors which let mosquitos in but nothing too bad!
Really good location, air con was super efficient & staff were lovely. Great value for money, we ended up extending as we loved don det so much!

Located on the sunrise side of the island. Very close to the pier, restaurants and bars. Large, clean room with comfortable bed and good pillows. A/C worked great which was definitely needed in the heat. Bicycle rental available.

ChinaDidn't notice anything bad, perhaps the money exchange rate was not that ideal, we couldn't get cambodian riels there.
Room was very tidy, facilities like hot water and air-con worked well. Location was really nice, not far from the pier and the hotel offered bicycle rental. Don Det has really nice countryside for retreat.

United KingdomLots of bugs, a few big spiders tried to share a night in the room with us and there were constant streams of ants (to be expected, but that didn’t make losing half a pack of Oreos any easier😪)
It was in great location, about a 3 minute walk from the ferry drop off point (great after a long period traveling). The staff were very friendly and helpful with booking things such as travel and bicycles. The bed was very comfy, the ac was great and so was the shower!

United Kingdomwe had some issues with bugs in our room however I think this is a common problem across the islands. we noticed they were falling on us from the ceiling so we put our own net over the bed which fixed the problem. we are particularly squeamish with bugs however so can imagine they wouldn’t have been noticeable for other people
