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.).

South AfricaI had erroneously assumed a suite would have a separate bedroom. This is more like a (very nice) studio. Describing the couple of yogurts, juice, milk and muesli in a jar as a continental breakfast is stretching the point. Good self catering hosts often provide this as extras without the need to describe them as any kind of breakfast. The fact that cooking utensils were in rather short supply and the fridge is so small makes true self catering very difficult. The setting of "five star" accommodation above a restaurant results in a quirky feel, with a fairly constant buzz of activity from midmorning to 9pm. We were there during a cold snap and felt it because of not arranging the fire to be lit in the (efficient-looking) fireplace. There is no aircon. All in all, we found the pricing for the suite to be a bit steep for what was there.
The view of the waves crashing just beyond the perimeter of the property is absolutely spectacular.. The member of staff on site was extremely personable, cheerful and helpful. Enrico's, the restaurant below is warm and vibey and prepares delicious food. We also had our best ever Tiramisu there and our waiter made it a truly pleasant evening for us. The setting is truly beautiful and allowed us to take a wonderful, long sand beach walk towards Keurbooms river from Mare Nostrum. We could have walked on for miles. Our balcony, overlooking the restaurant below,and the waves breaking on the shore just beyond that, was lovely and the room is dwell decorated with high quality finishings.

South AfricaNo breakfast- no water in the room
The location of the Singing Kettle is 2nd to none! The rooms are beautiful, impeccably clean and very well maintained. It comes highly recommended. Two drawbacks though- being a five star establishment and considering the price, a full breakfast should be included bearing in mind it is rather isolated. Secondly, water should be available free in the rooms. Lastly, again bearing in mind that it is a 5* establishment, maybe a welcome beverage should be considered. But we enjoyed our stay tremendously- Thank You

United KingdomThe owners have really thought of everything from rain umbrella to beach umbrella, beach toys and bag. The breakfast is yoghurt and big fruit basket. Enricos restaurant downstairs was very accommodating, bringing dinner to our room. It was a very popular restaurant but Mateo made sure we were served promptly. Good value too

Panamawifi was terrible. staff limited hours. very limited facilities but normal for a small hotel. was not so clear in the description but fine.
rooms are beautiful, the view is incredible and it feels like vacation in a cozy cottage as soon as you get in. Small boutique hotel with 5 rooms only so facilities are limited and no meals provided. Enrico's restaurant downstairs is amazing. Great food, fresh seafood, great ambiance. Weather was rainy and foggy but felt so comfy in the room. mini kitchen with all the necesary appliances and supplies provided.
