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...).

SloveniaWe saw 2 cockroaches in the kitchen, a few centipedes on the bedroom wall. The sheets were not clean, the towel had yellow stains.
The surroundings were very pretty, and so was the garden around the lodges. The owner was very friendly, she gave us a bigger room as it was vacant.

United States of AmericaIt's currently in a state of post-pandemic reopening flux, with an only semi-functional pool and restaurant. The lack of AC naturally renders the rooms quite hot.
If (like me) you enthusiastically embrace the quirky, the off-the-beaten-path, and the funky, this is the place for you. It's remote, beautiful, beset by an air of benign decay, and populated by a cast of unusual characters. Rooms are ruggedly gorgeous. The unlimited hot water is fabulous. Breakfast is small-portioned but delicious.

We really enjoyed our stay Here. The Bungalow was nice, the bed comfortable and the shower hot. I Loved the Gardens and the Pool. You really are in nature there. We saw toucans, toucanettes, iguanas and blue morphos. The breakfast was good. The Location is great if you have a Car. We could visit uvita, dominical, Manuel Antonio and beautiful waterfalls while we were there.

Czech RepublicThere is only a ceiling fan that only works with the light on so not very helpful at night. It really helps that the nets are well done so you can open the window shutters, but it cools down a bit quite late at night. It may be a result of long covid closure but despite the reek of repellent in the evening the room was crawling with small centipedes. They did stick to the floor or walls but when some reached the ceiling they fell into the bed as well.
The property is located in beautiful gardens. It is a bit out of the way, we take that as a good thing and if you have a car you can get to a few of the most charming beaches under 10 minutes. The cottages are well built, laid out and designed. The breakfast was nice but we would not call it fantastic (as a main benefit mentioned in the property description).
