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.).

AustraliaTwo things limited this place for me 1) not having a restaurant meant I spent most of my time looking for food. That was a lovely reason to explore but the main reason I wouldn't stay again. 2) the bottom left room has no railing on the balcony, and folks were often hanging out right there which opens directly onto the bedroom. One night there were folks sitting right outside talking until about 10pm, another night a couple of guys just helped themselves to the chairs on the balcony. Never caused a huge problem but it meant if I was resting during the day I had to stay most of the time with doors and windows shut. Just felt a bit invasive. I don't think this would be any issue with any other rooms, just not bottom left!
Really beautiful setting, great rooms, everything inside the room was very tidy and kept to a high standard. Staff were all super friendly.

Australiathe pool looked milky which was off putting, all guests commented on this. It would have been good to bar b que but it was filthy and hadn’t been cleaned . The fan in our room had two speeds only and the handle kept falling off the cold water tap in the shower . the toilet was wobbly . renovation of the units was underway while we were there so these things will no doubt be taken care of. the drive way is quite steep but once there it is flat.
the room we stayed in was waterfront on the bay. the breakfast was to our liking and staff were diligent the bed was comfortable, The air conditioning was excellent .our room was made up daily. there was a cold water cooker which was excellent. all bookings for transfers and experienced are aptly taken care of by the staff. security is on hand 24/7. the back units located up the hill are larger and look newer.

AustraliaThe kitchen was outside and open in the villa which was ok but there was a problem of house lizards in the outside kitchen. We had to be vigilant always and had to keep looking at the roof while cooking.
We liked the location, waterfront, facilities like swimming, paddle boating, etc. Staff was really kind and courteous. Best thing about the lodge is they kept our excess baggage with them for 5 days when we were travelling on other island even when we were not staying with them after return. So sweet of them. Also helped us with all the tours and taxi bookings when required and help us in deciding what to visit. Definitely will recommend the location.

United StatesWish there was a restaurant on site because only breakfast was available on the property. The swimming pool bottom needs a little more maintenance because the tiles were loose, but nothing too bad. The transfer back to the airport was arranged by the front desk for way too early - they brought us to the airport for the domestic flight 3h before when even 1h before is a lot, so this part was bad.
Close to the airport but still overlooks the water, which makes it perfect for island hopping. Friendly and helpful staff let us store the luggage.

AustraliaThere was nothing that we didn't like. The facilities are older and there are the expected aged signs in the bathroom, however, as we spent most of our time exploring, this wasn't an issue.
The room had a great location - absolute waterfront. The air-con was cold and the mosquito netting around the bed did a great job at keeping the mozzies out. The staff were friendly and really helpful and the location was good - super easy to catch a bus around town. The self-contained aspect of the room was excellent for those days when we didn't want to eat out.

AustraliaThe shower and plumbing could do with some attention.
Within walking distance of the city centre and on the waterfront, there was still a calm island vibe. Our stay was very comfortable - good-sized room and comfortable bed, with an excellent view from the balcony. We stayed just for a stopover but Timothy and the Fatumara team made sure we were welcome and all our arrangements were in place. Helpful eating out recommendations too. Breakfast by the pool was individually prepared, not just a buffet.
