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 KingdomThere is nothing negative to say. Loved it all.
A truly wonderful place to stay. You park your car and then walk over a small metal bridge to enter a garden island, completely surrounded by water, which is so beautiful, full of trees, flowers, and wildlife. Excellent range of birds in the garden, which the owner feeds each morning so you can eat breakfast watching them. Very friendly host who cooked us a lovely meal in the evening. The room was large and so well thought out and decorated. The bedroom was surrounded by windows, enabling you to observe the birds whilst sitting in bed. Howler monkeys and toucans in the garden were the highlights

SwitzerlandThe bridge from the parking lot to the property needs some attention and maintenance.
The lodge garden was amazing! You can see so many different birds during the morning breakfast. We saw more birds here than during our private 8hours birdwatching tour! Apart from that you can also see basilics and other reptiles around as well. The owner was very accommodating and helpful.

FranceIt could be better sign posted to make it easier to find.
A clean and comfortable room set in a beautiful garden and next to a river were one can bathe. Pierre the host was very helpful who makes delicious scrambled eggs and his own bread (which is much better than what you can buy locally). He also organized an excursion with Angelica to a local farm where we could bathe under the waterfalls. An excursion away from the masses of tourists. The lush big garden was also a pleasure to visit.

In our opinion this accommodation was excellent. The land around the property is like a mini reserve with resident Howler Monkeys and superb bird watching. The owner was extremely pleasant and helpful and the wifi in the room was very good.

GermanyHotel rooms & facilities need more attention: Furniture was very old and seemed worn out. Outdoor furniture was dirty, bathroom was smelly, fly screens were damaged. Overall cleanliness can be improved. We did not have an AC in our room and it was way too hot. Breakfast was ok, but more fresh fruits should be offered.
Beautiful garden with lots of interesting plants & animals, e.g. saw a large group of howler monkeys in a tree and a variety of birds during breakfast. Jungle feeling at night with great wildlife sound. Very friendly owner who helped us with booking a tour and prepared a very delicious dinner for us. Enjoyed swimming in the river, just need to be careful with small kids.
