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.).

ItalyThe location is gorgeus, right in front of the ocean. There is the reef that you can reach swimming from the resort, it's quite a strecth but you can almost walk the whole way. We stayed on the tree house, we booked for one night and extended for a second night. The second day was raining and everything got kind of wetish. Also the toilets does not really flush. The structure needs to improve. Breakfast included is very good. It's a very secluded location.

United KingdomThe shower and toilet facilities were very basic (lacking soap, flush, toilet paper etc). Our beach hut was small and was not soundproofed. Food was lacking and food quality was generally quite low compared to what we've had in Borneo - however they were accommodating when we requested some fruit and vegetables which we enjoyed.
Amazing location with beautiful beaches at an affordable price. Good base for diving with Bigfin divers. We found staff were friendly and accommodating.

SingaporeThe room smelled humidity ; it might be a good idea to avoid the budget room. Toilets are with a bucket; not a problem for me, but don't expect more.

MalaysiaLong steep narrow path on the last 500 meters down to the resort. But one does not need a 4wd car. No TV and no hotel wifi... but isn't that good to read a book and switch off electronic devices ? But mobile and internet coverage from the air is ok. Breakfast a bit weak. I had somewhat oily fried noodles and they were served in a plastic box. And coffee half cold and not tasty.
It was lovely to stay here. Where would you get such an authentic longhouse stay at the beach ? Everything is very tasteful, well organized. The room in longhouse is very cozy with good comfortable bed. All is very clean. Owner communicates well with guests via whatsapp. Beach and water was clean, had no jellyfishes in January. From my impressions , I would really very much recommend the longhouse room and I felt very happy with my choice, NOT the tents, that.might be too narrow and hot and a bit a problem at heavy rain, which is very common in this tropical climate. There is a restaurant for dinner, and food was excellent. They also sell cold drinks including beer and one can order breakfast. That is convenient, as it is not recommended to drive by car over the small narrow path back to the city. Bathroom : many complained here about that. It was simple but good. Of course, no hot water. Shower cubicle had sandy floor, but a chair for your clothes and it was clean. Toilets were clean, too. People often expect much comfort but everything must be very cheap. This does usually not work in beach locations. Those who cannot survive without a private top bath should book one of the upmarket resorts for which they have to pay triple or more as price.

United KingdomBathrooms are not clean. Do not book tent on the beach if you want a comfortable stay. Everything wet and smells damp. If you want to stay in this area go to bigfin divers.
The location is the only good thing this property has to go on.

Brunei DarussalamHave booked a 2 pax beach cabin, then received a message from the property that it wasn't available. No explanation given. Maybe it was to accommodate local or direct booking. Have been proposed a triple-room in the long house, which doesn't provide the same privacy. Lots of signage giving "do & don't" instructions, including "Respect the other guests, keep the noise down after 10pm"... Unfortunately, looks like it doesn't apply to all the guests, as we had to endure loud music until 2am.
Nice location, with beach in a secluded bay.
