Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

It has a very beautiful porch and you have your privacy.

United StatesWe got the lowest price room, and that happened to be in a container. Facilities were just OK, very basic. Other houses were most likely better.
Location was walking distance from the Ballena NP. The whole property is a blooming garden! Very easy communication with the host.

NetherlandsShowers and kitchen are a bit old, but nothing too bad. Although the park, restaurants and shops are within 15 minute walk, I’d recommend to get a bike if you’re not a walker or have a car.
Very cozy houses, great people and just a very nice community vibe. George was so helpful!

GermanyWhat a nice little place. Came for two nights and ended up staying a whole week. Attracts some really nice people and felt really nice and social. We had a communal dinner with a bunch of people almost every night. The place feels really secure and is tucked away in a really nice like neighbourhood where most of the neighbours around are part of the family that owns the plans. The owners are super nice and really helpful. Place is close to the beach and right besides a bakery and some small supermarkets. Apperently they are only just getting started, would love to see where the place is going!

United KingdomThis is a relatively new camping area- things are being improved daily. The tables and chairs don’t always match in height and the kitchen has an odd assortment of plates and bowls etc. In time, I think they will develop a fridge system so that outgoing people’s food is thrown out and there is space.
Great atmosphere; really close to the beach and good value for money. George was very helpful. The showers were decent (cold) and the toilets were clean. The cooking and eating area was good.
