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.).

MaldivesThe hotel looks better on the pictures, then in the reality. The area is nice but bungalows need attention. The price of $81 per night is not worth it.
The personell is very friendly and helpful, breakfast is good.

Great Location. Cabanas fronting the beach with air conditioning. There was a problem with the booking but this was mainly an issue with the website (Booking.com) rather than the owners. The Manager Anuradha worked hard to deal with the issues on arrival. Staff very friendly

JerseyThe cabana itself didn’t feel very clean - bed sheets, towels, beach towels etc. We noticed there was a damp smell in the cabana too. We were infested one night by bugs/flies. We chose the no-breakfast option as thought it was expensive to add this on - we were glad as there was many restaurants beach-side next door which were much more reasonable.
The location of the cabanas right on the beach is idyllic! You fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the waves.

United Arab Emirates-no wifi in the cabanas - mosquitoes although there’s a mosquito net surrounded to the bed, but still they can enter. - it’s a beach front, so be ready to here the sound of the waves all the time. - I think it’s good to spend a day here but not for sleeping, unless you can sleep when there’s some noise from cars and waves. But the view is worth it.
The staff were so friendly and nice The location is good The view from the Cabanas is super amazing during the day if you like to wake up and have a breakfast with a sea view, then this is the place.

United StatesDinner was served cold. It was ordinary and not upto the mark for its price. In the Cabanas, air conditioners were ineffective and noisy. Ceiling fan was slow with no effect. Request for pedestal/ table fan could not be met. It was uncomfortable to sleep there. None of the administrative staff could be contacted inspite of repeated calls after 22:30hrs till next day. Stay was definitely not worth its price.
Location is very good Breakfast was ok.

BangladeshFirst of all, everything in this property is very poorly maintained. We were in villa no 7. Every metal object was rusty, they have placed the AC outdoor unit inside the toilet which was very uncomfortable and risky as well. Secondly the villa was very unclean and dusty. Curtain rail was just hanging, curtains were full of dust. Even they had provided instant coffee which was stale and smelly.
The only good thing about this property is the location.
