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 KingdomThe only thing we didn't like was having to leave!!!!!
The stunning location. The beautiful room with wonderful view and facilities, including the outside shower if you want to experience that pleasure. Now with two swimming pools, again both with amazing views. The very charming and professional staff, who can not do enough for you, and the delicious breakfast. Unfortunately only had one night, but can't wait to return.

GermanyIt would have been good to to able to open a window at night. Unfortunately there were no screens in place to keep out bugs or other creatures. Better coffee is definitely needed.
Breakfast was very good but the coffee was not. Absolutely tasteless and all three of us thought the same…such a pity as the rest was excellent.

United KingdomWe should have stayed longer .
All the staff were super friendly and professional, nothing was too much trouble. The pool area had a stunning view and was very clean. Towels available by the pool a all times. Water bottles given on arrival with names on and in reception cold water so you could fill up. Some lovely trips on offer, we took the rock art tour with David who really knows his cave art. Fantastic trip then star talk from Craig in the evening really interesting. Food was all gorgeous, bed super comfortable . Just a fantastic experience in a stunning location.

SwedenThis was the second time we was here. We was here 2 years ago in November 2019 and that is the reason we are back. It's fantastic little place, with great staff and Management ( Craig and his wife( sorry can't remember your name )). Last time we had a great tour the cave paintings. We started at 0530 as it was VERY VERY hot - up to 42 degrees ! But a fantastic tour with a very good guide, so this time we took the mountin tour and also the tour on the damm. It wasn't the biggest of boats, so it was Craig as the "captain", med and my wife and a couple from Capetown and then it was full. VERY windy ( small waves) and the damm is very loong - 22km. Craig told us about the damm and we also stopped for some drinks. Nice tour, but the wind wasn't that nice. The mountin tour with Craig was a great trip as well. Quiet cold - down to +10 degrees up in the mountins. But it was very interesting to move around among great rock formations and great views. We stopped at Cederberg Wines for a wine tasting and we also had our lunch there - as the weather wasn't the best. Wines from Cederberg are very very good - so if you haven't tried them - please do ! Last time we stayed in the Classic Room( mountin views ) and it was good and now this time in one of the suites - PERFECT! Fantastic room and views ! Did sleep like a king ! The food is still very very good - but last time it was slightly better. But the service is still fantastic ! It's a place to love and to come back to, many times more....
