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...).

Switzerland-
Spectacular location by the Sete Cidades lake. We could swim every day! Very close to most beautiful ocean beach and sunsets. Most kind and hospitable hosts who took time to give plenty of valuable information & a much appreciated welcome basket at arrival. Private parking. Such a beautiful interior/design with nature views and fireplace. Netflix and youtube available on TV for a nice movie night on a rainy evening. Very cosy and home feeling. Absolutely loved it and recommend it 1000%.

United States of AmericaThe damp smell, it was very cold when we arrived and took awhile to heat up, we were looking forward to the nice welcome basket all the reviews talked about since everything was closed for food in the area and we never received one, it was very disappointing. Also, no coffee for the machine and had to wait until the grocery opened the next day to buy our own.
The location was beautiful by the lake. The lodge was nicely decorated. The use of kayaks. The bed was comfortable. The kitchenette. Email about checking in. The gardens around the lodge were nice. Quiet. The fresh hot bread to buy down the street.

United States of AmericaMy family and I absolutely loved our stay at the Lake Lodge. The perfect accommodations and a stones throw from the lake, it was our favorite place we stayed in the island. Nestled into a lush garden landscape, we were completely enchanted walking through the property. The bungalows were so inviting, cozy and warmly decorated. The baskets of food and wine were a wonderful touch. We can’t wait to come back again!

United States of AmericaI loved the way the cabins are nestled in their own private gardens; the effect is magical! I absolutely loved waking up to the views of nature all around. The cabins themselves are uniquely designed, inside and out, and we were very comfortable in one for the duration of our stay. The proximity to both the lake and the sleepy town of Sete Cidades was ideal.

Czech RepublicGreat welcome basquet of local food (honey, milk, wine, bread, cheese, annanas, cereals,...). Bike and double kayak are included in the price. The lake is 120 m away. André was perfect host. He has managed to let us in even though we have arrived at 01:00 in the night. Later he visited us, explained our questions and we hade nice talk in general. With bikes we have visited the other lake and a picknick park on the other side of the lake. I took an advantage of the kayak few times. Local people are very friendly. Bread in bakery costs incredible 0.35 EUR. View from the house to both sides was like two super duper high definition TV with the best slow TV channels. If you forget how to enjoy your life, local cats will show you. We were here out of seazon (March) so there were no crowds of people.

United States of AmericaOnly complaint was that the bed was quite stiff - not necessarily the most comfortable for us, but I know that sort of thing is a matter of preference.
Andre was clear and helpful, the welcome basket was very much appreciated, and the place was quite clean. Cabin was quiet, but still had modern amenities (WiFi, smart TV, etc), and we particularly enjoyed the wood burning stove, which we took full advantage of every night.

RussiaThe mattress sank a little with two persons on it and the bed itself is quite short (about 180 cm)
This place is magnificent. I loved it so much. The fireplace is the best thing thereby, and the garden is cozy and intimate. We also used BBQ in the garden. The parking lot is big for everybody and easy to park on. There's a small wooden sign on the entrance. The lake is just around the corner and it's the best spot on the island. Dream of returning there during the summer. Andre was very welcoming and gave all the info about hiking trails and opened restaurants around.

United States of AmericaThe host was amazing. We landed very early after a short red eye and he had a free room he offered to us for rest with the tired baby. It made for a perfect start to the trip and the views from the cabin are amazing. The cabin was simple yet well fitted out with breakfast goods that lasted us through our stay. We had asked for a crib and there was a real baby bed set up for us with a baby blanket and towel as well.
