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.).

PolandBeautiful place with an amazing location a very long history and really lovely and helpful hosts. All the rooms and cabins differ from each other but all of them are charming. Don't expect anything fancy but there aren't many such places left in Zipolite

CanadaThere are lots of stone steps to climb. I actually liked the exercise, as long as you are in good shape it's fine.
Great location. The area was breezy and quiet. It felt like an authentic old school Zipolite beach experience. The huts were rustic, but spacious.

GermanyI liked EVERYTHING and I hope it will stay like this forever… but I know that this place won’t be everyones cup of tea. If u like the simple life and being close to nature then u will love it but if u expect a proper hotel (room) then you better book a stay next door at El Alquimista.
Everything! It was exactly what I was looking for… I had the best 10 days there and I’ll come back again (soon). And thx again to Violeta and her Dad, you guys are a gem, you are the nicest hosts possible.

United StatesDon’t expect a five star accommodation, especially the bathroom. The shower is basically a spigot with no shower curtain and could drain better, but it gets the job done. The toilet is a little smelly, but fully functional. Our room was also under another cabin and we were woken up by a lot of stomping, scraping sounds and sand falling on us when the room was being cleaned.
Amazing value and location on the beach, very welcoming hosts and they were able to help us get an extra night at the last minute!

SerbiaLittle investment is needed. Sheets and mosquito net are long due to be replaces (they both have holes and stains). Internet was weak (in my room even non-existing).
This accommodation is an experience. I had a wonderful hut at the top of the rock with an amazing view over the ocean. Hotel is set in an heavenly garden, and just behind is a lovely Cafe 84 with the best espresso in the town. Really, what sells this place is the location and simplicity.

GermanyWe liked our stay there. No big complaints, as the location for that price is really amazing. It could have been a little more clean in the bathrooms though. But it was really not an issue.
There was no breakfast in the hotel offered anymore. I stayed there 5 years ago and loved the breakfast! Now the hotel cafe or restaurant is not working anymore. There is an amazing new cafe called CAFÉ '84 downstairs from the hotel area, which has AMAZING coffee and great breakfast options.

CanadaWe loved Lo Cosmico! Violeta was an extremely helpful and wonderful host. She organized a tour for us and offered plenty of recommendations. Sleeping with the sounds of the waves every night was great. Being right on the beach is such a treat. It's definitely a bit more rustic than other options in Zipolite, but that's the charm of Lo Cosmico. It is one of the (if not THE) first hotels on the beach, so you feel like you're on a true getaway during the good old days (aka before we were born lol)
