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 StatesIt did get hot at night, but it eventually cooled off.
We loved the decor and the beautiful terrace and rooms. We appreciated the intimacy and enjoyed chatting with other guests at breakfast. The location was easy to walk from and it felt safe. The staff was very helpful and kind. We would definitely recommend it!

CanadaI stayed at the Estrella room which faces the road. For light sleepers, it is noisy during the night from street traffic. I would stay here again but i’d book one of the other rooms for that reason.
The best part of staying here was the breakfast provided. As a solo traveller, it was nice to have the central open air dining area to come to in the morning and have the option to meet others staying at the B&B during breakfast. Location was also very good and walking distance to main areas in Oaxaca City. Liked the extra touch of providing a hat and a local reusable bag in each room.

United KingdomThe shower pressure was a little weak, and it took a while for the water to heat up in the morning. But I liked how environmentally conscious they are, by asking you to collect the cold water in a bucket so that it can be used for cleaning purposes, thus saving water in an area that experiences a long dry season and water shortages.
Beautiful, traditional B&B just a few blocks away from the main city square. There is a security gate to enter, so it felt very safe too. Loved the artistic touches and decorations of the common space and the room. Our room was spacious and clean with a private bathroom. Breakfast was served in the courtyard, and consisted of coffee, Delicious fresh orange juice and fruit, plus a light main dish such as fried eggs and vegetables. The staff we met were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend El Diablo y la Sandia as a base when visiting the beautiful city of Oaxaca.

United StatesI LOVED this B&B! The room and courtyard were so charming -- just the details of having fresh flowers and a water jug were lovely. The breakfast was delicious and heartwarming (can a breakfast do that?! yes, it can). The staff was extremely helpful and went above and beyond. As a single, female traveler, I felt very welcomed and safe too. To El Diablo y La Sandia: Thank you so much for your hospitality! You have a beautiful place.

Absolutely loved our stay here. The staff immediately made us feel welcome, we loved the room and the breakfast was just phenomenal. There was a nice rooftop to enjoy - I spent a jetlagged morning reading my book overlooking the city from up there. Loved the little touches too - an honesty bar, hats and bags to borrow.
