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.).

ItalyWe loved our stay at Papillon bungalows!!Sebastien was lovely with us: he ensured we were always okay and always had everything we needed, he gave us good recommendations on restaurants and parties to go and even lended us some snorkeling equipment. Our stay was just amazing and waking up on your own calm and “private” beach is just priceless. We made friends with people in the other bungalows and it just felt like a little family, I just couldn’t recommend this place more.

United KingdomI think because we were staying during full moon that the bungalows may have been booked up. this meant that the generators really struggled with the electricity, meaning our first 2 nights the aircon wasn’t really working and the lights and shower kept flickering on and off. The moped rental company the staff brought us to had the worst mopeds we had rented in Thailand. We left it back and got a better/nearly new one for the same price at a nearby vendor.
Right on the beach it was like paradise! the staff where really helpful and took us to rent a moped. The owner wasn’t present but he was contactable by whaatsapp the entire time which was lovely!

New ZealandThe location is remote, so scooter hire is essential (Sebastian makes the process seamless). The beach isn’t really a swimming beach, but that didn’t bother us as we went swimming elsewhere at waterfalls and other beaches.
The location was secluded and felt like we had our own piece of paradise. The owner Sebastian really looked after us and made us feel comfortable, as did his friendly dogs (pro tip buy them treats and they’ll love you forever).

United Kingdombeach not the cleanest, some issues with ants in the room and insects. Take note that there is no separate toilet/shower within the room. shower (warm only) and loo is separated by a half wall only….was not great for me personally but some couples may not mind. Bed not the best comfort wise but clean bedding and ok for a night or two.
Very friendly and helpful host with good local knowledge, clearly tries hard to help guests. daily cleaning offered. Great location for exploring. WiFi working and good aircon, parking and Fridge. pretty setting on the whole.

French PolynesiaUnfortunately we were disappointed by our stay at Papillion Bungalows, we don't mind staying in a simple bungalow but there are a few things we just couldn't cope with. first of all the internet was terrible and we rely on good internet for working, we had to cancel work because of this. secondly the beds where by far the least comfortable I have experience in the last 15 years, it was worse than camping. The room was right on the Scooter parking so it was noisy at times. the room wasn't right on the beach either like we where hoping.
On a positive note Sebastian the host was super nice and helpful and the bathroom looked better than in the picture.
