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...).

GermanyParking in and out was quite a challenge as the gate opens directly to the well frequented street. We were staying in the third floor and carrying the luggage upstairs without elevator was a bit annoying.
Spacious room with a terrace. Big, a bit dated closet. Parking spot. Many shops and restaurants nearby. AC in the room. The owners were nice and almost always available at the reception or in the shop next door. The owners can also organize tours and activities in the area.

South AfricaThe facilities are very basic, but then again what ever was needed were gladly provided.
This accommodation is made exceptional by its staff. Thank you to Aki, Ashwan, their lovely mother and Trishna in the shop, they were extremely kind, helpful and accommodating. Also a big thanks to the very kind and generous Mr Sanjay for the scooter and car hire. Our stay in Trou d'Eau Douce was made great by the wonderful Mauritian hospitality of this family.

AustriaIt would be nice to have at least a small refrigerator in the room, but I heard in the bigger rooms there's one 😉
I had a great stay at Golden Shell Residence, first of all due to the kindness of Aki and his family. Unfortunately, my luggage didn't arrive with me, so I had to wait for 2 days until I got it, but the mother of Aki helped me to get all what I needed for these 2 days. If you stay in Golden Shell Residence, then you'll experience a warm welcome and people ready to help you or give you very useful information. It's a place where you'll feel secure and safe. Further, you'll find shops for your daily needs and restaurants just when you get out of the residence. The residence also offers you a very good breakfast for a reasonable price. If you like to travel by public bus, there's a bus station. In case you want to discover the island by yourself, Aki will help you to get a rental car, too. Thank you Aki and your dear family!

GermanyThe owners are very friendly and helpful, also they have a market below the residence and that’s great to buy some food and beers ... If you want to stay one or 3 nights it’s a good place. Around the residence you have a lot of restaurants and markets to buy some food. You are 15 min way from the beach.

PolandThe owners were really kind, and always willing to help. The room was spacious and clean. Though the balcony was facing the street side, it was calm during the night. We had parking for the scooter inside the property. Possibilities to organize tours, transfers, and car/scooter rental. Truly recommend this place:)!

HungaryThere is no such. He gave everything for the money paid.
Central location. The building has a small mini market, greengrocer and smaller restaurants nearby. It is a good base for exploring the area and visiting the island of Ile aux Cerfs. Don't miss this island while you're there! I suggest going to the island from Jetty to Ile aux Cerfs the Golf Course and Ilot Mangénie. True, they’re not taking a speedboat, but the price is half that. On the island, however, you will find many opportunities. If you are a good host, the service is attentive. We'll be happy to come here again. The accommodation is good value for money.
