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.).

IndiaWell! Nothing to complain about. Our experience was wonderful.
The enitre place is amazing! They have lovely 6 dogs in the property who are absolutely adorable. They make the place lively. The whole setup is very beautiful and peaceful. The lodges are very nice and cozy. There is everything you will need in the kitchen too. Also the owners are very helpful and nice people to deal with. We loved everything about this place and would recommend everyone to stay here.

NetherlandsThe beds were too hard for us oldies.
The garden was exceptionally beautiful with all the water, mountains and all the places were one could sit and relax. The owners were very accommodating to our needs and could be contacted via Whatsapp. They granted us lots of privacy. The manager, cleaners, gardeners and even the dogs were also very pleasant. A special thank you to the sons who let is in late at night and Grant who arranged a wonderful breakfast basket for our first morning. We’d love to come again. Thank you for the marvelous stay.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing! It was a perfect family property
A really beautiful location and an immaculately clean large bungalow style property that we had the pleasure of spending 3 weeks in as a family of 5. There is a great outdoor play area for children and private and shared outdoor spaces plus a nice pool. The cleaning and maintenance staff could not be nicer and the owners were really welcoming and even provided our boys with two boxes of toys to use

PortugalI didn't have time to enjoi enough the facilities. If I had known it was this good, I would have programed more time at the place. Wifi not stable. Absense of AC good for health, but annoying in the afternoon, in the room we were.
Top staff, confort, breakfast, cleanliness. Absense of TV is strange, but it turned to be a good way to relax too.

GermanyOur hosts Silvia and Grant were very friendly and accommodating. The Waterland Lodge is a perfect place with nice garden views. Our lovely cottage with a spacy terrace was neat and well equipped. The Waterland Lodge is situated in a great safe neighbourhood with close proximity to many sightseeings, awesome beaches, shops, restaurants and nature attractions (by car). Each morning we were pampered with tasty breakfasts – provided in a picnic basket. The numerous recommendations and MUST SEES to visit were so special and exciting. We loved our stay and definitely would like to return asap. Thank you very much Silvia and Grant & Waterland Lodge team for your kind attention, helpful advice, especially making our wedding anniversary so memorable. “Hänsel and Gretel” - from Germany

The serene setting of this establishment is absolute heaven. It is quiet and tranquil. It is 100% family friendly and so many things for the kids to do. Beds were unbelievably comfortable, and chalet was extremely clean. The hospitality of Mark and his family was exceptional, and they never hesitated to go there extra mile for me and my family.
