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.).

NetherlandsLittle bit expensive if you compare it with other accommodations in the surrounding area. But its a more quiet place than the cheaper ones. So if you like a quiet surrounding and dont mind paying the extra buck, go for this one.
Super nice location, friendly staff and nice bed!

United StatesMore sun beds would be ideal! Also it wasn’t a huge deal but two days passed without housekeeping stopping by, which is noticeable with a room of 6 people
I loved my stay at Beach Break (my dorm mates ended up being amazing. Dorm 4 Didn’t Snore :) but also it was lovely being directly on the beach. Comfy beds, plenty of space to hang out, and kind staff members.

Great value for the location. Playa Venao is a hidden secret. The hotel is relaxed surfer style accommodation. I don't surf, but I would still go back for the location.

IrelandWhen we got into our private room there was a dirty towel on the floor. Unclear what the cleaning policy is on rooms
Beach front location in front of a great beach break and within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Surf board rental was good but there would be benefit to offering an optional board insurance. Common areas and facilities were spotless and well maintained every morning Staff were always happy, very friendly and always helpful. The social nature of the hostel is awesome and special. Special mention to John for assisting us with a late check out. It was really appreciated! Great vibe for couples and family's not wanting a party hostel

I woke up to the sound of birdsong every day. Going out to the beach at sunrise you've got the moon setting on one side and the sun just cresting on the other. Yoga all around you. Very freeing and filling. AND I'm learning to surf!
