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.).

CanadaAir conditioning would have been nice, but the ceiling fan worked well and there was a lovely breeze when I opened the windows in the morning and evening
The staff were friendly and so accommodating. They let me use the pool and facilities after check out as my bus didn’t leave until 7 pm. I don’t know how I could have managed all day in the heat otherwise.

United StatesThe water pressure on the toilet is poor. It takes hours to refill the tank, so using the toilet was a little of a hassle. If you have a big family... be prepared haha. We stayed on the 3rd floor on a Wednesday. It was pretty quiet and we got great sleep.
The location is amazing near all the restaurants and the lake. Breakfast is simple but fresh and made for you as you requested.. the room with an air conditioner is a plus.. it was great to have all night as it gets pretty hot. They have luggage storage if you have more tours and want to drop your suitcase for the day!

PhilippinesBreakfast is too basic, and they run out of milk for coffee. not a big deal though as it’s understandable the town is pretty far from other big towns and might explain the supply.
The hotel was quite nice, you are treated to the desert dunes view from your room balcony and the rooftop breakfast area. The bed is comfortable and the room is sufficient size. There is also an AC that works quite well and a respite for the desert heat. There is also a big pool which is pleasant after climbing up the dunes. The location is also pretty central right smack in the lake/oasis and near bars and restaurants (pretty much all of Huacachina though since it’s a tiny oasis town).

New ZealandShower took a longtime to run hot and pressure was low- but totally expected given the location. Pillows were pretty hard - but they happily swapped it for me!
The perfect location on edge of the oasis lake. The rooms were as expected . Basic but very clean and the whole property is well maintained. Staff were all excellent. The breakfast served on the top terrace was perfect for us. We loved the pool and sunlounger were plentiful and very comfortable to relax on. Great secure parking for our Motorcycle too! They organised the Sunset Dune buggy tour for us too! I was extremely pleased with this choice of accomdation in Huacachina.

United KingdomThe room felt a bit dated.
The room was a great size and offered ample storage space. The property location is also good, right in front of the oasis (which is a relatively small place so all hotels will feel central). There is a grocery shop available just 1 min walk away and many restaurants are nearby. They offer a shuttle service from Ica (rather costly at 30 soles for 10 mins) and also tours.
