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.).

CanadaCharcoal bbq was very difficult to use in such a windy spot! Would have loved a tea kettle!
Such an amazing location and great amenities for a very relaxing family vacation. Lots of space for everyone. We loved that beach chairs and umbrellas were available for us to use! We loved that there was a constant ocean breeze to cool off the space because there wasn’t AC.

United StatesYou could tell that elements of the two studio cottages that we stayed in had been updated (granite countertops) while other things were in need of a facelift (cabinetry). You can tell that being by the beach takes it toll.
Location, location, location! A 2 minute walk from a gorgeous beach, a view of mountains on the opposite side of the road in a non touristy town off the beaten path. Our two studio cottages were clean and the linens and towels (including beach towels) were of good quality and excellent condition. Coin op laundry was a great convenience.

Dominican RepublicNo complaints. They have limited parking but we were always able to find street parking.
This place was quiet and private and it is located on a beautiful beach with no crowds. It's a beautiful location. The property is nice and we have no complaints about the room or the accommodations. We stayed in cottage 9 which was the only one without air conditioning and we did not need it. (We stayed in February). It's a great affordable option especially if you don't want to stay near the more busy/touristy areas. That said, it is still very close (15 - 20 mins) to some great attractions - Kailua town and beach, Lanikai beach, OENO Winery, Hanauma Bay, Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse Trail, and Halona Blow Hole. We ate at a lot of great restaurants in Kailua.

United Statesthe cabin was very basic, the bed was comfortable for only a few nights, not the 7-8 we stayed there. the couch was tough to sleep on. no additional blankets. only 1 beach towel each and 2 bath towels each, everything else additional charge. outdated finishes and needs an upgrade.
the location on the island was amazing, the almost private beach within walking distance was amazing, clean and just beautiful! free street parking was great and always available. the shower was clean and amazing pressure! we had a car, so it was a great location to do all the items on the island versus being in the busy waikiki and on the other side of the island

United Statesour fault for not noticing there was no air conditioner but they did supply us with a fan. So we left the doors open which are alittle hard to shut because of the swelling when you did want to close the two outside doors on kit & bath side. we did put out some bug repellent didn't know if it was just from the tropical area
There was no breakfast included in our stay. It was great staying on the lower level since I"m turning 80 next month. Would have loved to stay upstairs for the View. Loved the close access to the sandy Beach and not crowed. I loved listening to the Ocean at nite from the living room. The Owner and Granpa were very nice and the cleaning lady was also very friendly. The bathroom was updated the Kitchen was nice, the 2 bedrooms were big .Loved the Big grasssy yard. there was also a large park next door with Beach access

United StatesIf I have to include something negative, I guess I'll say I wish the beach chairs were a bit newer and that there were more of them. But they were free for our use and sufficient.
The cottages were perfect for our needs. A bit off the tourist path, which is exactly what we wanted, but easy to get in and out of so the drive to sites wasn't bad. The beach right at the property was amazing. Calm in the morning and good boogie boarding waves in the afternoon. Almost deserted at that spot. We had a lot to see but wish we would have taken more time to just lounge at Waimanalo beach. The furniture in the cottage wasn't the cushiest, but we weren't in Hawaii to sit in the room, so it didn't bother us. Staff was very friendly; we didn't need much help but they were present often and I expect very attentive to needs of those who needed them. Tip: Don't bother paying for parking, there is plenty of street parking within a block.

United StatesSeveral electrical outlets did not work, fire alarms removed, which gave us pause, as I think there are electrical issues. No hand towel, skimpy kitchen items, nothing food related, like salt and pepper, A/C undersized for space. No one cleaned the on the window side of the bed, partly understandable since the bed was so tight along that edge and the foot that it was hard to get into. There was lots of sand on the floor and the floor got my feet dirty. A load of laundry was $8 in quarters. On the last day we texted to get quarters, arranging a meeting. An hour after the appointment, we texted them, which was received but no reply. They got back to us 4 hours later. Hanging around waiting on them was not how I wanted to spend my vacation. I can understand them running late, but annoying and rude that they did not text us to re-arrange. The owner was around a bit, but in general there was no one on site to assist and if our experience is normal, they are not responsive. Too many pigeons (was sure I was going to get bird poop in my hair). All of the cabins are very close together. I would not have liked most of them as 3 sides would be super close to fence or next cabin. The remaining side faces into the center area, which was nice, but not that spacious and faces the home. Not sure about "cabins" 7 and up, as they appear to be sliced out of the house in the center. For an 8 day stay: 4 rolls of TP and about 1oz each of shampoo, conditioner, lotion, shower gel (for 2 people).
Location great, short walk to beach. Great cats. Cabin 6 (ours) was not smashed in, like the others (except #1). Had one side facing park, with partial views of ocean and mountain views. Like the security of locked fence gate.
