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.).

We loved everything about the guest house and the warm welcome from Ash and Hazel - so much so that we booked to stay on our transfer back. Everything was thought of and the breakfast was great. Very easy walk to the shops and restaurants that were amazing value. The area was so much nicer than we thought it would be especially the beach.

South AfricaAs we booked the "premier bedroom/suite," we expected certain amenities that were unfortunately absent. The room lacked a microwave and plates, which was a minor inconvenience, particularly considering the room category. However, we acknowledge that this feedback is meant to be constructive and believe it could enhance the value for money for future guests.
Our recent stay at Sandals Guest House was an absolute delight. The location, within walking distance of numerous restaurant options, bars, and the beach, made it an ideal choice for exploring the vibrant surroundings. The walk is not only convenient but also safe, allowing us to fully enjoy the local atmosphere. Our room, a premier bedroom/suite, offered a perfect blend of comfort and luxury, and the year-round outdoor pool, set in a serene environment, added to the overall sense of relaxation. The cleanliness of our room was impeccable, and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed. It featured modern amenities, including a flat-screen TV and air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We were particularly impressed by the thoughtful touches such as complimentary bathrobes, free toiletries, and a hairdryer. The hairdryer proved to be especially useful after a refreshing swim in the pool. The owners, Ashley and Hazel, as well as staff, particularly Khaya, excel in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and their commitment to exceptional service was evident throughout our visit.
