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.).

United StatesSome seating other than straight-backed, kitchen-type chairs would have been nice, like a nice reading chair and side table. The stocking of the kitchenette could have been better- the only cooking utensils was a fish spatula, one pot, and a pan that I had to ask to be replaced because it was so burnt out.
I am a "no frills", low-maintenance traveler. If the shower works, the linen is clean, the bed is comfortable, and I can cook, I really don't require much else. This is what you can expect if you book. Veronique and Michel are lovely hosts. They were very responsive to the few requests I made, and gave me great advice on local places to check out. All in all, a very pleasant stay.

SpainThe house is great but keep in mind that if you want to hire an excursion to Fronton, Madama o Rincón, DO NOT DO IT with TWO BOYS that are at the beach, they are called Louis (nickname: Rambo) or Georglin. Their specialty is to convince you to do the trip with them for certain amount of money that in the end changes. In my situation the police (politur)had to handle the situation because it was not fair, and they most of the time support the tourists, so don’t be afraid to ask for help. DO NOT PAY MORE THAN 2000 pesos for the three beaches. Talk to Juan or Alejandro at the beach next to the boats and they will for sure give you a good deal. I paid 1500 pesos for two beaches and we were only 3 in the boat. Don’t let them rip you off. Apart from that, nothing bad to say about my stay in Yes Papa!
La ubicación, la tranquilidad y alejado del ruido. Está a 5 minutos de la playa.

GermanyLet's start with the first impression. The whole property is gorgeous. The rooms, the bar, the paradisical garden - everything is designed and decorated with great love an care. The place is bursting with carribean atmosphere and invites you to just hang around and enjoy the relaxing mood for hours on end. As promised, the main beach is right around the corner and all important supplies can be found within minutes. The breakfast is quite a keeper. Simple, but tasty and done with great care. The homemade yam is a must-try! Most importantly, our hosts. There is no lack of friendly people in the DR, but Veronique and her husband really take the cake. They are actually two of the loveliest and most caring hosts we ever had on all our travels. Veronique would always spare a couple of minutes for a chat, or to give us precious advise about life in the DR. Even after moving on, we would come by every now and then to enjoy the company, the atmosphere and a well-priced Cuba Libre. We are glad we met you, guys. Thank you
Though the room was actually quite cozy, there were two features missing, that are rather important to us. There was no hot water in the shower and (more importantly) no door to the bathroom, but some kind of veil. As a couple sharing a room, that was quite a dealbreaker.

VietnamThere are lots of mosquitoes, but you can ask the host for repellent or incense if you don't have your own. If you stay more than 2 nights, ask to have your room and bathroom cleaned at least every other day. No AC but that's typical for accommodations in this budget.
Absolutely wonderful host Veronique - one of the most helpful people in town and speaks great English and of course French and Spanish. Ask her for crepes for breakfast! The location is very convenient to everything. The rooms are very big.

United KingdomTwo improvements could be the room was very dark even with all of the lights on and the bed was more like a large single than a double, great if there’s one person staying but as a couple we didn’t find it the most comfortable.
The location was perfect literally a 2 min walk from the bus station, less than a 5 min walk to the beach and restaurants within 5 mins too! Yet it was set back enough so you didn’t get any street noise. The hosts were super lovely and welcoming, Veronique was really helpful with giving us places to visit and see and telling us shortcuts to beautiful beaches!! The room itself is basic but comfortable, we loved that it had a small table and chairs by the window to play cards/games in the evening, no hot water in the shower but this seems very standard for the DR, shower pressure was good though! The mosquito net was a great touch very handy in LG for someone who seems attract alll the mosquitos!

Czech RepublicEven though the water outage was not their fault (street was being demolished) other places had emergency sources from tanks as it is apparently common. This hostel had only one emergency tank outside the room and the water was infested with parasites (visible inside, swirling around like tiny black looking hairs). Also, there was a construction going on next to my room. They were hammering walls so much that a wall paint flakes fell on my pillow from the ceiling. So overall, coming back from a whole day hike to no shower, water with parasites and workers pounding the wall next to you, it was a very bad experience overall.
Good location, close to the beach and restaurants. The staff was accommodating my request for reimbursement when the water stopped working and I had to leave.

BulgariaIt is similar to a lodge experience, very close to the natural beach and forest but at the same time few steps from the restaurants, markets and bus station. The golden sunset light goes straight into the room through the panoramic window. The enviroment is relaxing, calm and partially exclusive. The managers are very kind people too and really help you to feel like at home. The location is perfect, and Las Galeras has still a lot of nature to explore compared to similar locations. From the hotel you can walk to Rincon beach trough the hill and the farms that luckily have not closed the path. Another nice destination is Boca del Diablo from where you can hike to Fronton beach through a very cool forest sourranded by palms exotic vegetation and ocean. The place is never overcrowded (for now) and merchants are not aggressive. You'll be able to get your space and relax with nature. Absolutely raccomended.
