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.).

Everything about our stay was exceptional. The staff are very friendly and helpful. If it was not for Melissa at reception we would have been stranded as busses had been cancelled the day we were due to leave. Melissa helped us look up alternatives and for the best prices. She was truly very helpful. The food was fresh, great variety and delicious. We loved our stay and would highly recommend staying here.

BelgiumNone, but you need to be an alert driver to reach the parking lot.
I rarely rate a stay as being perfect. This time the eye for detail in the architecture, staff’s pleasant demeanour, and the quality and presentation of the food was nothing less than exceptional.

IrelandThe setting is amazing but there is a very steep road up to the property and the parking is tricky. The rooms are scattered around the property so you are walking up and down steps to get around.
The experience was wonderful. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious with breakfast cooked to order. The rooms have amazing views. Would definitely stay again.

AustraliaThis was truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. We got a free upgrade to one of the villas and the view was absolutely breathtaking from our room. We sat in the window seat looking out over the sea for hours. Socalco nature is luxurious but friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is delicious too, the chef and owner cooks personalised menus. I highly recommend coming here if you are staying in Madeira!

GermanyThe location and its surroundings are absolutely stunning, the modern, clean room design is gorgeous, and the breakfast and restaurant are an absolute treat. Consider dining or waking up to the view of the Atlantic Ocean 300 feet below, and a small creek or waterfall running just outside of your room along your private garden or patio. It's not a dream, it's reality.

The hotel, restaurant and staff are wonderful! The rooms are very clean, light and spatious. Breakfast was delicious, as is the food when you decide to eat in the restaurant. Staff is super kind and always available in case of questions, English is perfect. The domain has a lookout over the bay and beach of Calheta, which makes up for a very nice view while eating, sunbathing or swimming on the terrace.

NetherlandsThere are 2 small parking lots, but still parking was difficult (little room to maneuver uphill and downhill). There may not be enough spaces when they are fully booked.
- Very good airconditioning in room, it does not make any noise. - Nice ocean view, from terrace and our room. - Very good breakfast. Would have expected more variation in choices ( pancakes or French toast instead of every day banana cake). - Very good diner options (also vegetarian or vegan) surprise menu with fresh ingredients.

United KingdomOur only comment is that it would have been nice to have a few shady areas to sit with comfortable chairs. Small parasols were available over a few sunbeds but did not provide sufficient shade. Also they were insufficient for the number of rooms.
Stunning location especially the restaurant/breakfast patio overlooking the coast. Food was excellent, freshly baked bread every day, good breakfasts. We had a 3 course dinner every evening and enjoyed them all, the food was freshly cooked and served with an array of fresh vegetables. The whole place was super clean and very well kept. All the staff were friendly and welcoming.
