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.).

United StatesSome photos can be misleading, like the villa with pool. It’s a different house handled by the same company. They need to update some of the room photos, since they don’t show the recent upgrades to the room.
I had a wonderful stay at Casa del Sol on Isla Contadora, Panama. It’s like a home away from home. The staff is a living-in couple, Alina and her husband Daniel. They were super friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond with everything we needed. Just be patient with a bit of waiting. Elena and Renata handle the booking. We had the Studio II room. On the Booking website, it showed a queen bed and a single sofa bed for 3 people, but they have updated the room with a twin bed instead of the single sofa bed. It was more comfortable than what we expected. The room was clean, with strong AC. In the morning, Alina would take your breakfast order, cook and serve home-cooked breakfast, which was very delicious. The closest 2 beaches (Playa Camaron and another one whose name I can’t recall) seem to be privately owned and closed to the public. They offer free shuttle service (golf cart) to pick up/drop off from the ferry. Just let them know ahead of time if you need to be picked up or not. I made the mistake of not letting them know I had an island tour before arriving, as they were waiting for me at the ferry. I would definitely recommend Casa del Sol to anyone looking for a place to spend the night or a few days to explore the island.

PanamaGetting hot water in our room was a gamble. By the end of our stay there was no water at all. The pump of the water well broke (luckily, Daniel offered us to take a shower in the AirBnB cabin they have next door). Would like to see the owners invest a little more in the property.
The service was Amazing. The room and premises where clean. Daniel and Alina took really good care of us. The breakfast was delicious, the house is located fairly close to playa ejecutiva and couple restaurants. They have golf carts for rent which makes moving around so much easier.

FranceThe place clearly needs an overhaul and several things were broken down in the apartment.
The location is perfect, the apartment is big and I loved the patio! The staff was responsive and we never had to wait long to get an answer. Paul, in particular, was extremely helpful and a lovely person to deal with.

RussiaThe most boring, invariable and unhealthy breakfast ever!!!
The only good impression was left by Paul - the hotel manager. He was very helpful and nice. Unfortunately at the time we stayed there the hotel was in the middle of a sale process which apparently can explain the indifference of former or the new owners to the current matters. However it skips my understanding why during our five-day stay there wasn’t a single room-cleaning, no one took our garbage out even once, toilet paper was not restocked, most of the light bulbs were out, there were zero toiletries provided (not even the soap at the time of COVID!!!) the table and chairs on the patio belonging to the room we paid extra for were covered with dirt, the towels and sheets looked and felt like floor rugs.

UruguayWe didn't have hot water, they couldn't fix it and we had to shower the last day in a small bathroom that was shared with other guests. Breakfast could be improved.
Staff is really nice and helpful, as its not that close to the beach they always offered to take us there and pic us up. This is a bonus. Its a nice b&b, but needs some adjustments to offer a better experience and a better value for money.

United StatesI don't think that the location was clean enough for my taste. Others may have been ok with the accommodations but the bathroom looked like it hadn't been clean in months, hair was everywhere and I had to request clean sheets upon arrival. The staff was accommodating with the sheets however.
The location was close to a few local and delicious restaurants. It also had a nice layout and tons of outdoor seating. The staff was incredibly accommodating and nice.
