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.).

Julie and Barry are beloved couple and an excellent hosts. It was great to spend some time with them on a little chat on every topic. Thanks to them our stay on Mahe was amazing ❤️ we felt like at home. Julie prepares delicious breakfasts and Barry's dinners are just excellent. As per the home - very spacious room with wide and very comfortable bed, comfortable bathroom with everything needed, excellent big balcony with nice relaxing view. Location is rather south but well managable with bus as the stop is nearby, also grocery store is close. PS. Polish ppl if you stay here - please bring some Wedel chocolate for Julie and Barry :)

PolandOur stay at the apartment with the warm-hearted owners was an unforgettable experience. Their hospitality and care made us feel right at home. The apartment was clean, comfortable and well-equipped, making our stay truly enjoyable. One of the major advantages is the proximity to the bus stop, shop, cash mashine, beautiful beaches in the south and the best takeaway restaurant in Mahe. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a friendly atmosphere and comfortable accommodation! Thanks Mama for your perfect hospitality and the best crepes with banana jam! Thanks Papa for the pleasant conversations about life, the world and travels. We love your way of beeing!!! :) PS ask Mama about the guy who can take you everywhere as a tour guide! He can also take you to the airport. Good price and such a nice person in the same time!

RussiaI would like to express my gratitude to Mom and Dad for their hospitality. The house is very cozy, with a terrace, kitchen, and inner courtyard that create a comfortable atmosphere. The hosts treated us to freshly cut coconuts, creating an incredible atmosphere of warmth and care. The breakfasts were delicious, with options like eggs and toast or omelets and pancakes in the morning. The beach is a 10-minute walk away, but I recommend taking a car to reach all the beautiful beaches in Seychelles. Everything was very enjoyable.

HungaryWe loved the architecture of the house and the amazing garden. The room is well sized, having spacious wardrobes and a fridge. Mama and Papa (the hosts) made us feel like a family member and after a day of adventures discovering the beautiful island they welcomed us back with a big smile, always ready to invite us for a nice chat and a fresh coconut, sharing true conversations about the history of the island or the big questions of life, truly creating a personal bond and making our stay better. They also helped us in practicalities eg. arranging rental car.
