How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The water from shower in our bathroom was not contained in the shower and the water went everywhere. I also felt the cottage could have been cleaner.
We were upgraded to a lake view cottage (we'd booked the wine maker's cottage). The cottage was large with a lovely seating area, a very well equipped kitchenette and a bedroom with a window seat. The open fire (gas) made the room feel really cosy. In fact, the cottage was very well equipped and only lacking bath robes which we learnt are available on request. Breakfast was great offering a good choice. We also had dinner in the restaurant which was very good. We made use of the shuttle bus to visit the Luna Winery (a sister property) for a very enjoyable wine tasting and lunch. A really quiet comfortable stay with wineries in walking distance. I wish we could have stayed longer

Very comfortable and spacious room with excellent services. Very clean and tidy and quiet room with privacy. Restaurant was very good and the breakfast included was excellent and good value for money. The staff were very friendly and professional and helpful. Having a shuttle van service available for transport into the town centre was appreciated given location of Parehua Resort.

There is quite a bit of maintainence that needs sorting out, lots of dings in the walls, peeling paint and mould in the shower. The windowsill of our aparment was rotten. We did need to work whilst we were there and the guest WiFI is terrible, we had to use the staff WiFi - this needs fixing immediately. Its just not good enough to provide a sub standard system for guests when the staff system is fine. The new owners are slowly replacing the furniture in the units and shared spaces and have done a great job of tidying up some areas (the pool is so much better!) but the "Dubai bling" furniture items they are bringing in are not wearing well, they are looking tatty after a very short time and look out of place in the cottagey/ country club setting.
Great sized rooms, comfy bed, lovely staff, good tennis court and walking distance to the village. Grounds are always beautiful. It was our 3rd or 4th stay, we do very much enjoy staying here.

Very poor wi-fi. In fact NO wi-fi for most of the stay. Charged 2% for using credit card. Visitors should not be paying owners banking fees. I would have given the resort 10/10 had there been decent wi-fi and no charge for using credit card.
Staff were all charming. Perect spot to stay for wine-tasting in the region. Good variety of food for breakfast.
