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.).

FinlandIf I have to be picky, the equipment in the room was very basic and could be improved.
Very nice guesthouse with a very chill atmosphere. It is in a quiet location, very close to the beach and just off the main street, where there is plenty of dining and shopping options. The cabin was pretty basic but clean, spacious and comfortable. The AC was very much appreciated. The staff was friendly and helpful

United KingdomWe thought we had a bungalow with a hammock but we didn’t, something to be aware of! The rooms are quite basic, for example no soap is provided, but apart from that it’s comfortable.
Great location, there’s a good restaurant called Tony’s opposite! Nice communal area which can be social on evenings if you want a drink. Lots of cats which we loved and nice staff.

United StatesNothing special, but there was no AC in the room so it was very hot and it was relatively basic with the toilets getting clogged or overflowing most of the time.

United KingdomThe staff are all friendly and it has a really nice vibe. They will help you with anything you need. They have a nice area to chill and a filter to refill your water bottle. The bed is also comfortable and the bathroom was cleaned every morning. It is also a great location, only a 2 minute walk to the beach and by plenty of shops and cafes.

United KingdomOverall the property was lovely, just a few little tips for the future is that a lamp in the room would be great rather than such a bright overhead light, and the staff were amazing just had no toilet roll replaced / fresh towels in the 4 nights we were there :)
great location just by the beach and near all food and shops, private room was great with comfy bed and staff were brilliant with a great common area!!

SlovakiaThere was no soap for washing hands and no hooks for wet towels or clothes - those would be helpful to have in room.
Good value for money and good location. The room is simply equipped with comfortable bed, little table with chair and small bathroom.

EcuadorToilets can get a better cleaning. Don’t even think about getting a room with a fan, the heat is crazy. We couldn’t sleep at all the first night, so we changed rooms to a one with aircon. But you can find other places cheaper with an aircon close by.
The place has a really nice vibe and the staff is very kind

CanadaThere was a lot of ants in the rooms, like nearly infested and they got into the bed too. I also didn’t sleep well any of the nights due to the proximity to the ‘lounge’ area which would be fine because it quiets at midnight but there is also a rooster on property who starts going at 5 am. It was right beside our cabin and he goes on and off all morning. The plug sockets are not located in a good spot.
Good location, social vibes, friendly staff, and strong air conditioning. Cute puppies too.

ItalyI'd suggest to invest in mosquito nets and repellents as the area of the hostel is pretty bad for mosquitos and our room did not have any kind of protection. The boss of the place could be more kind and available by accommodating guests' requests.
Gecko Guesthouse is located in an excellent position, right in front of Pantai Cenang Beach and in the area of many restaurants. We had a pleasant stay and we loved being around cats all the time! If you love cats, that's the place to be in Langkawi :)) All the staff was super available and Chief is the best local guide (he gave us sooo many useful tips on the island!). WI-FI is good and I would suggest this place and its atmosphere for digital nomads or remote workers :))
