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 KingdomAir Conditioning was not the best. Was pretty warm in the evening. Shower pressure didn’t work or only worked a little. Used a bucket for a shower. No hand soap or body soap in bathrooms.
The best restaurant on the island on the same premise as the accommodation. Rooms were spacious. Friendly staff

IrelandProbably could use a face-lift. But honestly for a budget accommodation you can't really go wrong here.
Breakfast included. Also they accommodate divers too. They held our breakfast and gave it to us later in the day becausebwe were diving all morning.

SpainBeds are not very confortable and at night it can be quite noisy as it is located in the market (we went to bed very early) but I think it is not a problem if you join the karaokes or do not go to bed so early (otherwise you can always bring earplugs).
Staff is very kind, they help you with all they can. We are vegan, they told us no problem for the breakfast and although they dont have anything vegan at the menu they make for us (bread, jam and fruit). They let us take a shower after leaving the room since our ship was leaving in the afternoon and we left the room in the morning and they had availability for us to take a shower (thank you very much). Bring your own soap/shampoo or buy it there on the island (it is logical that it is not included in the price). You can store your bags until check in and after check out.. Location is the best, price is amazing. Their bread is so tasty!

PhilippinesThe air conditioner in the room where we stay was making weird noises, it’s bearable but, it scared the crap out of us when we heard it first, we thought someone was breaking in the room, it’s just the air conditioner with the weird noise, LOL! Our breakfast took almost hour before it was serve too; we ordered at 7:35 it was serve around 8:30, we finish eating around 8:45, and were late of our Island Tour which is at 8a.
It’s affordable and very close to mercado; where there’s a lot of food option. Their brown bread is a must try too. Staff we’re friendly and accommodating.

SwedenThe room with fan had a really bad climate. We had read the previous reviews that said it was hot but we underestimated it. Bathroom was not nice. The walls are also very thin so you hear everything. This area of the island has insanely many roosters, some nights they started 12 pm and was going on until morning. In this area it of the island is was also very many flies.
Really great breakfast, the omelett with ham and cheese was amazing

AustriaFirst I stayed in the fan room number 3. It was hot as hell !!! During the day it was like a sauna. The temperature in the room was 36° !!!!! The coolest it got during the night was 31 ° The building material makes the room very dark and the weak light bulb didn't help at night. The hotel is next to the square with loads of restaurants and Karaoke bars where the noise of people screaming and squeaking into microphones can only be described as psycho terror !!!! I changed to room number 5. This room has AC and was much better due to the bearable temperature. However also this room was dark and noisy.
The owner was friendly and helpful. The terrace is nice. I was impressed by the many choices for the included breakfast. The Guanna's salad was one of the best meals I had in two months in the Philippines ! It was great to be able to rent a scooter from the owner of the hotel.
