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.).

It was peaceful, quiet and relaxing. We were not bothered by people and we could just relax which was really nice. We needed a detox from the madness of life and this magical place did just that.

PortugalI liked everything. But be warned if you don't like nature - frogs, insects, birds, monkeys, trees, slugs, snails, snakes - then this is not for you.
It was a great breakaway for me and my son. If ever you feel like a 'Robinson Crusoe' vibe then this place will tick all the boxes. We enjoyed the deck overlooking the stream and the ability to cook outside. We also enjoyed the proximity to the sea and one has the whole length of the coast to explore at leisure. Best of all, and this was quite a surprise for me, was the internet connectivity. I would have loved to have spent a few days working from there with connectivity like that. We were warned about the noisy frogs, but we loved this symphony at night. Actually as we now live in the Netherlands looking for natural sounds to stream is the closest we can get to the real thing. So, definitely best experienced for real!

South AfricaThe draping in the tent and the wooden floors smelt a bit musky, which affected my sinuses a bit . A few essential touches would have made the experience even more great, like a bin and mirror in the room, as well as someone to refresh the rooms
Loved the outdoor experience. The sound of the ocean combined with the lush vegetation all around was amazing . The outdoor shower and toilet created a realistic camping feel . Not forgetting a few glimpses of the cute buck that popped up in the morning . The managers were extremely helpful and courteous

South AfricaI personally love nature. However, the frogs are very loud at night, and the tent flaps in the wind. This can become irritating. Fortunately, ear plugs are supplied. This comes with the territory, and you are reminded that you are essentially "camping" after all. Embrace the experience, and you won't want to leave.
I absolutely loved the setting of the glamping tent. The grounds are beautiful, lush, and tropical with lawns and ponds. I appreciated the comfortable bed and private splash pool on the deck. The kitchen is well equipped, and the bathroom has a shower and slipper bath. The night sounds are spectacular! Best of all, no loadshedding as the units are off-the-grid!

South AfricaI know it's glamping but it would be nice to get fresh towels every second day, especially with rainy weather as towels don't dry. Also a place to empty bins if trash fills quickly.
The glamping experience was great, if you are an outdoor lover you will enjoy this. Being out in nature with sea waves, breeze and all sorts of night sounds was just something else. Staff were super friendly and accommodated our late checkin after informing us that they had availability for one extra night.
