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.).

SwitzerlandThe beach is unfortunately not very tidy (rubbish). but a short walk away is the beautiful santiago beach
The villa is a dream. The view is fantastic. The crew is welcoming and accommodating at all times. The rooms are not very big but that is not necessary as we were outside most of the time anyway. Camotes is a nice village. Mercy is a good cook and the food is delicious!

United StatesNot one thing. I genuinely enjoyed every moment there.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE experience all around. We were greeted by the owners to gain entry and retrieve the keys. They carried our luggage into the rooms and offered a menu so we could place an order for home cooked meals if we wished to. After settling into the air conditioned rooms we explored the grounds finding that the views were absolutely breathtaking, from the font of our villa we could hear only nature and ocean. We walked to the crystal clear pool and fond that it was the perfect temperature with an even more beautiful view. Private beach felt safe and was exquisite.

United KingdomThe photos on booking.com sometimes make the property look better than it actually is, but not in this case. The bungalow was beautiful, set in a large very well-maintained garden full of tropical plants. The infinity pool was great and we had it all to ourselves. Then there is the private beach reached by steps…fabulous! The staff were brilliant and very helpful in arranging motorcycle hire. Breakfast was served on the terrace and was spot on. Martin, the owner was a lovely guy full of interesting and helpful advice. Reached by a rough track the property is very private and peaceful. Absolutely loved it!

SingaporeThe villa and its surroundings were lovely. There was a nice pool area and direct access to the sea. Instead of heading out, we ended up spending the night at the villa watching the stars and enjoying the serenity. The room was well-equipped, and everything was in a very clean condition. The host and the staff were super friendly and helped us with all of the questions that we had before our stay. Location was convenient. Walk to the nearest restaurant only took 5 minutes and, in 10 minutes, you could walk to the beach and find more restaurant/bar options. In case you don't feel like leaving the villa, they also have a selection of food and drinks to order. Unlimited amount of filtered water was available free of charge which really made our lives easier. All in all, Villa Camotes definitely offered value for money.
