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.).

AustraliaWifi was patchy sometimes
Beautiful self contained rooms with kitchen, fridge and air con. This setup was perfect for me to get away from it all at my own pace, but would also be great for couples or those with young families. The location provides easy access (via laneway) to the best part of the surf beach. Many local restaurants are a short walk away. The owners are really lovely people, and happy to assist or chat about anything you’re interested in doing. I loved this place so much I extended my stay for numerous days.

UkrainePoor internet
Hosts is a very nice couple , they have a water for a good price and more importantly you can rent a bike also for very good price . I did not know that so I overpaid for mine in another place. Location is very comfortable , everything pretty close and you do not need to drive . The room was clean with enough space and calm neighbors. So it is a very good place to stay , what you need to keep in mind that internet is poor and suitable only for chatting if you plan to work perhaps it will be hard

BelarusI little bit nosy because of the road, but at night it is quiet and not hot!
The room is clean and cozy. Good kitchen, all necessary staff, toaster, kettle, blender, good fridge. I lived in the room with A/C. You can use a washing machine, good internet, was enough for work. You can buy water from the host cheaper than in the nearest shop. The beach is very close. The second floor is very good - enough light in the room and few mosquitoes. It was a table in the room, it's good and comfortable.

RussiaThe road is close to the villa, and you can hear the noise of tuk-tuks during the day (it is really quiet at night). But for me the location was appropriate as I was looking for place to live close to the surf spot, yoga and cafe.
The villa is nice and all facilities are included: private bathroom, washing machine, cooker, fridge, even blender, rice cooker and toaster =) Surf spot, yoga and restaurants 5 minutes to go on foot) Housekeepers are wonderful and cute people! They were very friendly and helpful)

NorwayNoisy road, that's all I can think of.
We had a great stay at Weligama Oriental Villa. The family who runs the place is absolutely wonderful. The rooms are spacious and it's so nice to have your own little kitchen with toaster, blender, fridge, gas burner. There's also a short cut path that goes from right outside the property and down to the main road/beach which makes it only a 2 minute walk to the surf. I truly recommend Weligama Oriental Villa.
