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.).

United StatesIt’s a little dark and needs to be updated. The vending machine near our room wasn’t working. We stayed in room 152 and our view was partially blocked from the trees outside of our room.
The property is a little dated, but when traveling with pets, it’s perfect. You can call room service and it’s fairly very quiet.

United StatesThe chairs in the rooms were pretty dirty. Ours weren't terrible, but our friends that stayed next us were disgusting. It was their first time staying there and they had to put sheets over them to even sit on them.
That we could spend time with our family on the property, we didn't have to leave everything you need is on the property.

United StatesMy only complaint- the tv quality was poor, all channels were pretty fuzzy. Now obviously we weren’t there to watch tv, and I would have been content to keep it off the entire time- but we did get hit with a couple of rainy days and with two small children, it can be difficult to keep them entertained (and trust me, we have about every activity you can think of) and sometimes the tv helps with a little downtime.
Gorgeous property, everything was so green and lush in mid-April. The in-room fireplace was fantastic, especially since we got hit with a couple of rainy days. The mochas at the restaurant were delicious. The view from our room was incredible.

United StatesRooms are spacious and comfortable. But there was a very heavy smoke smell from the fireplace, the rooms should be aired better in between guests. PLEASE NOTE: Booking offers two room types for ocean view rooms. One of them has a picture of a patio and the other a balcony. We chose the one with balcony thinking it would be upper floor. But the hotel doesn’t have that distinction. So don’t forget to make a note if you want a specific floor.
