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 KingdomLiterally the only thing, which was our fault, is just to make sure to book a taxi the day before leaving as it’s not as easy as in a city. But Veronica helped us with it! So thank you to her
Very cool layout, good hostel vibes, very close to the beach, room was super clean+comfortable+functional, shower was nice and warm!! Breakfast in the morning is so good. Beach itself is really good for bars and meeting other people. Veronica is so lovely and made us feel super welcome (shoutout to Swell the dog too). Aircon is fabulous.

IsraelThe shared bathroom could have been better maintained. A bit expensive in terms of value for money (we were in rooms with shared bathroom)
We stayed three nights at Wao Jungle and we had a great time. We stayed in a small air-conditioned room with a shared bathroom, which overall was very good. The place is very clean and beautiful. But what we liked most was the attitude of the reception staff, especially Miguel, who took care of everything we needed and did everything to make our vacation perfect! Thank you!

PanamaAfter hours is hard to find stores around Venao, come prepare for late night munchies.
The place is in the heart of Playa Venao yet very private. A lush space full of green nature. Staff at the front desk was very kind and offered a lot of information about activities.

PanamaThe reason they get a 10 is the way they professionally handled a problem with disruptive guests. Stay at the residence area for peace and quality; great for family. Stay at the hostal part for more noise and younger partiers aka not for family.

This place offers cosy rooms close to the beach. The small town and beach of Playa Venao are very picture perfect. The hotel has a restaurant that offers a good breakfast and absolutely delicious meals in the evening thanks to Juan (chef). Gabriel at the front desk goes above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. He helped us out a lot and made sure we had everything we needed. He is the absolute best! He even made sure that the hiccup we encountered when we tried to book a tour through the AMF website was sorted out. Thank you, Gabriel.

United KingdomThis is not a dislike but a suggestion. As mentioned Gabriel was extremely helpful and kind. However, for his benefit, we think he could be supported by another staff member as he was working alone in moments. This would be especially important if he was to face a challenging situation.
We liked the attention of the employees to help with our needs, especially Gabriel who was very attentive in providing us with information throughout our stay. He also went above and beyond to provide support during a difficult situation. Gabriel was also excellent at providing translations in both English and Spanish. The room itself was clean, and the bed/pillows very comfortable. The breakfast was enjoyable and the chef's very friendly.
