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.).

EcuadorThe property, especially the rooms were not well maintained. The toilet was unstable, needs to be very careful when sitting. The shower didn't have curtain. The shower head was lose. The towel hooks were lose and broken. The mosquito nets had holes. The fans were not enough.... rooms were extremely hot during the day (lack of ventilation) and during the night remained hot.
Food was good although they didn't many of the seafood options mentioned in the menu. The staff at the restaurant was very friendly and kind. the location is great.

CanadaFan in the room was not very effective. The blades are too flat to move the air efficiently.
Location and beach were amazing. It was very quiet and peaceful. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The kayaks were a bonus to see the mangroves.

United Arab EmiratesNothing bad, little things are that it would be even better to have two sunbeds at the room terrace instead of one and it has very few mosquitos.
Great hotel and restaurant at the beach. Good room with warm water and fan, kite school and rental available. It was possible to pay by bank transfer which was very helpful. The mobile signal if you bring a Telma SIM card is good enough to work.

United StatesYou had to figure out what you wanted to do. The hosts were helpful if you asked a direct question but they weren’t very engaging. This is fine if you just want to relax.
Spacious room with hot water right on the beach. Excellent food for such a remote place.

United KingdomBeautiful set timing in Sakalava bay. Stunningly remote but plenty of excursions to be had which include visits to Diego or the port where you can travel to the Emerald sea by boat. It’s a real family environment which we loved and the staff and hosts are very caring and helpful. The rooms are great with mozi nets and spacious bathroom and veranda. The food is excellent. Fresh fruit was delicious and the fish fresh and tasty. We come from a home with dogs and we really like the Labradors which hung out with you and enjoyed a walk and a swim if you wanted company. They also keep tortoises which were amusing. I recommend a stay here for sure.

DenmarkThe internet (only in the restaurant), was so bad that it would be fairer to say and warn that there is none. No hot water in the room. Manager a pain for both guests and staff. Very rude lady. Apparently staff works six days' a week for a very low salary and are not allowed to take time off during weekends. We heard the manager rebuking (shouting) at the staff several times. Stinginess with all the little things, like e.g. breakfast: three mornings with dry baguette (one day apparently taken out of the freezer and warmed up), same jelly and margarine that was supposed to be butter etc.
