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.).

FinlandShower water pressure was low but that’s how it is on the island, no complaints. In my opinion the price should have included breakfast although it wasn’t too expensive paid separately either.
Beachfront bungalow right on the beach with full seaview. Was able to go for a swim at night time with plankton and then fall asleep to the sound of waves. The staff was extremely welcoming, helpful and kind. Location was great, a bit on the side away from busy bars but easy to walk to any of them by the beach.

United KingdomThe hut was great and an impressive size and views were amazing. I was very comfortable here and had no complaints. It is perfect for a quiet and laid back get-away. The restaurant next door meant you never had to go very far for food and drinks. Staff were amazing and were always willing to go the extra mile. Very lovely people.

DenmarkLocation is ... paradise. So peaceful and quiet. The beach has many cozy and laid back restaurants so easy to find other place to eat if you don't fancy that of the hotel or just need a bit of change. Staff is super friendly and sweet. Also close to the jungle. We went on many walks down the beach or into the jungle. Also clean and tidy.

ThailandFree wifi was spotty. Bathroom had some ants and other creepy crawlies.
Ailay Resort is almost at the end of the beach which makes it particularly quiet; it is as if you are the only one there. Better than most other resorts, almost all bungalows are directly at the beach and have full ocean view, lots of windows, and indoor bathrooms. They are really comfortable and spacious, though not really luxurious or stylish. The owners are really friendly, hospitable, and super accommodating. While the menu is not expansive or fancy, it is really excellent Thai home cooking. The enormously wide 4 km long beach in the bay is most beautiful with white sand, quite clean, ideal for long walks, jogging, yoga, kajaking, and hours in the water - you barely see other people, and no noisy boats or beach bar night life. At night, you only hear the cicadas and the waves of the ocean. During high tide you can snorkel around the reefs and during low tide explore the tide pools.

AustraliaCouldnt think of anything we would change. Will be coming back.
Couldnt ask for more from Ailay. The hosts were genuinely friendly and caring, rooms got cleaned everyday, food could be delivered to the room, on a beautiful clean quite beach with coral reefs close by (they have snorkeling gear, boogie boards, kayaks and more that are free for guests to use). I have a gluten allergy and the hosts were very helpful and accommodating, never had a reaction. Hosts helped us book all our transport to our next hotel. Wonderful experience overall that made for a very relaxing getaway.

SpainThis was not a bungalow, it’s a basic and very badly built hut. Cut up plastic shower curtains stapled to the walls served as curtains in the bathroom, the sheets were stained and torn, the curtains are in tatters and the shower is a joke. The manager is only interested in your money. A glass in the room cracked, she chased me down in the “restaurant “ demanding “you pay, you pay 60 baht for glass”. We did, only because we were sure she would have taken the money from the cleaning staffs wages. We paid 28.000 baht in full - three and a half months in advance and she had to embarrass us over 60 baht. If we hadn’t paid up front we would have left and found better accommodation. See the photos and the truth of this review.
The beach is beautiful. The hut is right on the beach. The air conditioning worked very well. The cleaners were there every day, so as clean as they could make it.

SpainNothing if you are in the second raw bungalows. We booked for 5 days and looked for another place the very same day we arrived. The location was terrible, the view was to a wall from the bungalow in front, totally overpriced, and they kept telling us that if we didn’t like it we should talk to booking.com. Needless to say that the tv, the air-conditioned didn’t work,… total rip-off. They are lying to you when the sell the second row bungalows!
