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.).

New ZealandThe rooms are basic but for the price and the scenery, it is well worth it.
We really enjoyed our stay at Blue Lagoon. The staff were so lovely and helped us with whatever we needed. The breakfast was very good and it was so nice to have espresso coffee! Gừng and his tennis balls were our favourite part of our stay, he is such a sweet dog!

This has been our favourite Homestay during our travels. Very cute + quiet rooms in the middle of nature. We had the option to hire scooters from the homestay which was ideal to get around being a little walk from town. They could not have been anymore welcoming, friendly and helpful. Would stay here again in a heart beat.

United KingdomOf course, there will be bugs/mosquitos, so bring bite cream. And be prepared for nature /animal sounds at night (bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper), or just enjoy it!
Stunning settings, absolutely beautiful. Sounds of nature very peaceful and calming. The dog was adorable, so friendly to play with. The room was lovely, bigger than expected. Great ginger tea and coffee. Friendly staff, stored our rucksacks for us when we arrived early and also on the last day after check out. Immediately fixed any issues we had.

CanadaThe staff at Blue Lagoon were incredibly kind and accommodating and really the highlight of our stay. The little coffee shop/ breakfast area has a wonderful chill vibe not to mention delicious banana crepes and fantastic coffee. While it is a long (ish) walk to the main area of town, We rented scooters for a day and were able to explore the island and easily get around. We had a great stay and would recommend this property!

United KingdomNothing not to like except that slight toilet odour
Lovely accommodation near a small lagoon on the edge of Cat Ba town. We enjoyed the modern wodern style, the only slight downside being the toilet, which carried a mouldy smell, but nothing too bothering. We had a 30 minute stroll into town in the evening and got a taxi back very easily

Everything! The accommodation was so cute and really good value for money! Everything was spotless, there’s a good amount of privacy, it was just beautifully decorated. The restaurant area was also lovely. I felt very calm being there. The staff were also very friendly and helped me with booking taxis. It’s located 30 mins walk from the centre which I did most of the time but you can also get a taxi or scooter. For me this location was great because it was peaceful and you get to see more local life. The dog and cats made blue lagoon even better! I would come back to Cat Ba just to stay here again!

Very beautiful green area, nice rustic huts and friendly animals. But the best are the owners, who were extremely helpful with organising our trip!

NetherlandsThe shower/whole bathroom stays wet for a very long time. Also, the wood does not some replacement. The amazing garden gives a nice touch, but the front part of the small cabins do need a replacement instead of adding extra wood to cover holes.
Lovely spot just outside the city center. Take a motorbike and explore the island. Roads are good!

United StatesThe breakfast could have been a bit bigger, and, while we support sustainability, we didn't feel comfortable drinking the water provided in our room, as we weren't sure it was sufficiently filtered for our American stomachs (not bottled). Also, the bathroom shower was draining a bit slowly. No deal breakers, just some room for improvement! We loved the A-frame cottage though, and the garden was very peaceful.
The coffee and drinks available at the bar were exceptional, and the fact that Blue Lagoon Cat Ba was tucked away from the bustle of the main road/downtown area was nice. Also Gu/Ginger the dog was wonderful! Overall a cute place and positive experience. The staff helped us book a transfer back to Hanoi as well!
