Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 AmericaWith the open windows, you have to be ready for dirt blowing in. I had to wipe down the sink, wipe off the comforter and pillows a little, but again, I knew this ahead of time. There are lots of nature sounds at night, including howler monkeys, but again, I knew that to be the case, so I actually thought it was cool, some might not. It is a little rustic, but that's the experience we wanted and I would change a thing!
I loved the character and ambiance of this property. It was everything I hoped it would be. The pool and the grounds are very nice, and loved the individual houses. The staff was always available and very friendly. The beds/bedding also very nice! Breakfast was simple, but lovely. Go for the carribean rice, beans, eggs, toast for local flare! Also, the rocking chairs on our private porch was an added enjoyment. The shower was large, and very nice! Especially loved the property at night.....such cool lighting!

Austriawater pressure in the shower could be better. If you are sensitive sleeper then the cottages next to the street are not recommended. We did not mind.
Very nice hotel with lovely garden and breakfast where you can see birds and agoutis. The hotel staff was super friendly and helpful. Fridge at the reception with free water bottles. Location of the hotel is also grand as it's close to nice beaches and restaurants.

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have more sun loungers and for them to have cushions as they were a bit hard!
Very tranquil spot (apart from sometimes being woken at 5am by howler monkeys! 😂) Had very good breakfast and enjoyed the lovely pool. Appreciated the safe in the room, and having a TV and Netflix was handy in the evening. The accommodation is slightly out of town but we were able to get tuk tuks. Nice restaurants a short walk away, and about a 20 min walk to a large supermarket.

ItalyThe Balinese style bungalows are beautiful but as there are no real windows (just wooden shutters) you get some traffic noise from the road. Luckily not much during the night. If AC is a must for you, this place is not for you, there are just ceiling fans in the bungalows. For us, this was not an issue at all, the fans were sufficient. The only thing that's not there is a mini bar/fridge. You get free water bottles at the reception but they're pretty warm and there's no way to get cold water to drink.
I booked here because of the position, it's an easy walk to a number of nice restaurants. The gorgeous beaches of Punta Uva are an easy bike or tuktuk ride away. The breakfast in the garden is lovely! They bring you a big plate of fruit and a dish of your choice. I loved the pancakes. The premises are well kept, and the swimming pool is a nice bonus. Friendly staff at the reception. We had a view to the sea from our bungalow's little terrace. Very relaxing to sit on a rocking chair and watch the world go by! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and I'd happily book here again.

The wooden huts are a similar style to the ones in Indonesia which is a little different to any others we saw. The gardens, wow, utterly beautiful. The gardeners are always busy keeping it looking beautiful. The pool is nice and big and very clean. Across the road is a beautiful beach which is also beautifully clean. There are many restaurants to eat within walking distance. Our favourite, spicy coconut 2 doors down along the beach. All the staff are so kind and helpful and couldn’t do enough to make our holiday the best experience. The breakfasts were well cooked and served by our lovely waiter who just wanted to please…,honestly if you want great service in a beautiful spot then I can’t fault the place. Cant wait to go back and when we do we’ll be going to Lana Ban
