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.).

NetherlandsMaybe the entrance and restaurant can use some TLC with some candles, deco and water in de pound. It felt very off season when we arrived.
The staff was very helpfull and frendly. We loved the bathroom en terrace. The room was perfect. Palmyrah is a special place. We loved it. Even off season it is a good place for birding. Food is good.

Singaporepoor service. Poor maintenance and cleaning services in common areas. Pool, which is clearly not maintained properly, was closed when we arrived and was only “open” by mid next morning, with a very strong chlorine smell… Pool house/bar was not open… Breakfast was “sad” in options and taste… Menu for dinner was so limited, and disappointing that we looked for other options, outside… Very limited concern by staff to recommend activities (bird watching)…
Very Nice room and beautiful wild landscape/environment

United StatesThere was no electricity and no internet for most of my stay. I grew exasperated and left early. There was no hot water, no bicycle as advertised and the pool was closed because of flooding. This place is a disaster area and should be avoided.
The staff is well trained and very friendly, although quite hapless. The restaurant is fine. Everything else is a mess.

Belgiumprice to quality VERY BAD. Hotel completely overpriced. Highest price tag of our entire stay, we did not get hot water and they did not seem to care to do something about it.
Quiet place, balcony was lovely and quiet as in the picture, dinner was relaxing and romantic but overall the hotel is very expensive in comparison to anything else we paid in the country for lesser quality (no pression when hot water)

Sri LankaI booked a weekend stay for my family here to celebrate my parent's birthday and they loved it! From booking to check-in / check-out, everything went smoothly. The staff onsite (and the support team over the phone) were extremely helpful and they did everything they can to make the stay a memorable one for my family.

Australia-The pool was closed due to heavy rains. -The property needed some maintenance and cleaning up (Possibly because of heavy rains) -Hotel could have organised bird watching tours for the tourists. -not many attractions around the resort
We stayed two nights on the way to Jaffna late December. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. The food was from a set menu but so tasty. The location was about 20minutes from the Mannar town. Excellent for bird watching. There was plenty of birds in the property and around the hotel.
