Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaWiFi was very sporadic and not available for a large periods of time. You need to bring your own soap and shampoo. Kitchen could use a little extra cleaning.

CanadaBest sunset on the beach! The Fenix was just purchased by the new owners and they were starting some renos but our stay was really enjoyable even with the little bit of construction going on. The rooms are a good size and have small kitchens which is great. The location is awesome and you can walk to beach restaurants and the downtown area. There is also fresh fish and a small store right behind the Fenix. The outside sitting area is fantastic....so comfortable and the sunsets are absolutely awesome. New owners mentioned they were thinking of some upgrades including A/C which would be great too. We plan on going back for sure (and bringing wine....inside joke with new owners!)

CanadaAlthough there is room for lodging 3 people, it would be crowded. Perfect for a couple's retreat.
Hotel was clean with an enjoyable host. Location is top-notch, can't be any closer to the beach. Restaurants are available along the beach. Quiet and non-touristy beach. A perfect place to unplug and relax. The kitchenette is a great bonus for those who choose to prepare their own food.

South AfricaFacilities are basic, no air-conditioning, no TV set, worn out stove, beds, etc. It can be fun if you look for something quaint but not so much fun if you travel with someone with special needs.
Location location location.. just unbeatable and package makes perfect sense if you are looking for simplicity and decency, in a stunning setting. Amacas and chairs by the beach are great. The host is very good too.

United KingdomFor a family with 2 youngish children (9 and 11), it was a bit far out to walk into town for breakfast, lunch and dinner, given the heat. The were were self catering facilities a room had kitchen but we wanted to use restaurants. If breakfast were provided it would remove that issue. To accommodate 4 of us, the 4th be was a trundle which when pulled out left little room for maneuver between rooms, meaning the bed got really dirty as we had to step over/ on it. Also the rooms had mesh over open windows, which for us with quite difficult children, meant we felt we lacked privacy and that we were disturbing other guests. On the plus side good air circulation. Also had an issue with a red ant infestation one night. The room was clean on the surface but could have been cleaner under beds etc
The location was great as beach front, which is rare in the area. Lots of palms and sunbeds and hammocks in the shade so you can enjoy the sea/ beach view without frying. I am sure it would be perfect for lots of people. The sea was safe and boogie boards available for free

United States of AmericaSuper well-equipped kitchen, everything you could possibly need. Coffee maker and coffee. The walls were thick enough that we couldn’t hear the people next door. Perfect location, right on the beach. Lots of loungers and shade. Boogie boards available to use. The pool was great for cooling off. Jay was very helpful with great recommendations. He arranged a lovely potluck and grilled mahi-mahi for everybody one night.
