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 KingdomHad the most wonderful time at Harding Boutique Hotel. Staff are so welcoming & helpful. Such a beautifully designed hotel with outdoor shower & bath. A special mention to the gardener who worked so hard to keep the lovely tropical plants around the pool looking so lush. The Hotel even has some local peacocks that visit in the afternoons! Food is outstanding, both the breakfasts & dinner at the rooftop restaurant we will definitely be back!

CyprusI had a delightful experience at Harding Hotel in Ahangama. Upon check-in, I was greeted with a cute flower and a refreshing welcome drink. Although not beachfront, the hotel boasts an amazing view and a prime location. The food was excellent, with compliments to the chef for their culinary skills. What stood out the most was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff who made my stay memorable. Additionally, the hotel's gesture of providing a branded tote bag upon check-out added a thoughtful touch to the overall experience. Highly recommend Harding Hotel for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

One of the best stays we have ever had! Our room was beyond perfect - the shower and outdoor bath were to die for, and the views were exceptional. The food was amazing (especially the breakfast!) and all the staff made sure our stay was perfect - I can’t even single anyone out because they were all so lovely. Location was also great - in a quiet area but with lots of shops, cafes and restaurants right next door. I really can’t fault anything and can’t recommend this hotel more :)

NetherlandsThe only small disappointment was the size of the pool because it looks much bigger in the pictures vs real life, it's basically a plunge pool. But the fact that it has access to the beach with almost no people makes it up for it.
Gorgeous boutique hotel with incredibly attentive stuff, great location near everything but slightly tucked away from the noisy street. Gorgeous room with a massive bathroom and private bath overlooking the ocean. Also it's 3 min walk from marshmallow point which is a great spot to rent a board and surf.

GermanyThe great sea view rooms weren’t available anymore so we had to take the rooms with garden view, you could see the ocean but also construction work next to the hotel. So we did not use the balcony at all.
Great architecture, high European standard, very clean room and super comfy beds

AustriaThe only thing i didn’t like was a mattress protector, which was uncomfortable for me as it made me sweat all night even though the aircon was on.
The staff is just outstanding! Everybody is very friendly, thought- and helpful. The fact that the house only accommodates 6 rooms gives a very exclusive feeling and so it also doesn’t really matter, that the pool is a bit small - but the beach (aka the big pool) is just a few steps away. We really loved to stay 5 nights there in total and definitely recommend a visit!

Everything was clean, well spaced out, lovely pool area and easy access straight onto the beach. My room was cleaned everyday and replaced with more water and towels. The tv even had Netflix, Spotify and YouTube. The best thing had to be the open window in the shower to see the view! I also had breakfast included in my stay and I chose the classic breakfast. I didn’t like a few of the things on it but they gave me extra of the things I did like. I also ordered room service and ordered fries and a brownie which was very nice and also reasonably priced!

QatarEverything was perfect
We had an amazing time in this stunning and cozy hotel. It’s extraordinary and atmospheric design stands out among basic and usual hotel options. We adore beautiful view on the ocean from our room and stone made jacuzzi on the balcony is very comfy and romantic where you can relax with calming sound of the ocean. Hotel workers were friendly and supportive in all our requests however would be better if they had a bit higher knowledge of English for easier communication. The hotel is very close to the beach with breathtaking nature. Breakfast are really very tasty with rich selection. To sum it up as aesthetic lovers we fall in love with Harding hotel, the room we took was Presidential suite and we were satisfied with its size and layout
