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 StatesThe breakfast were not included while I paid more than 11k PHP. I thought there was free breakfast then there was not. The breakfast was so small and the smoke fish were not available during my stay. The pool fountains could use some repair. Rusty bathroom walls. Amenities with hygiene could at least give me a Q Tip.
It was close to the beach and I just like the quiet and peaceful area. I like that balcony facing the beach. Pool was clean. Friendly customer service and I like how the owner was a US Air Force Veteran but never got to meet him.

CanadaAbout the towels that was gone missing 2 towels according to the housekeepers that’s for sure our kids left it in the pool. We actually didn’t pay attention of how much towels were being prepared for us since we had booked 5 rooms for the whole family. We were being charged thousand pesos a towel which is not worth a thousand firstly because it’s no longer a brand new towel . To cut the story I just pay 1k because I don’t wanna spend some more money for the towels !

FranceUnfortunately, although there's a restaurant, they still need to put a cooking area on which clients can cook their own foods. Locals in the areas told us that there were lot of tourist who will asked them to cook for their food. Not every tourist are pleased to eat at the restaurant when they also want to cook their own foods.

NetherlandsMain things are okay. But there is space for improvement. Water pressure is poor and takes long to get warm. No phone in the room to call reception, no toothbrush and toothpaste, no slipper, no hairdryer, no everyday change of towels, no menu and information in the room. Coffee in the restaurant was not tasteful.
The view over the pool, beach and sea was perfect. When I read most of the reviews, I was a but sceptic about my stay in the hotel. For me it was better than expected. But on the other side. For this price, you can expect more.
