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 StatesThe approach to their beverages felt out of place versus the rest of the experience. Very nickel-dimey, with everything other than water or coffee having a fairly steep charge $6.50-$15 per drink. We didn’t know this, so on our first lunch (included in the cost of the room) I suddenly had a $15 bill for a lemonade and iced tea. I’d suggest they make their non-alcoholic drink prices more transparent. Otherwise the stay was amazing!
Loved the location, staff, and variety of activities. Room was recently updated and very comfortable. The food was surprisingly great and creative. Having the trails available for use at the back of the property added a lot to the experience!

United KingdomThe pool area a bit underwhelming but not really what you are there for so not a big problem. I also feel the transfers are ridiculously priced
The staff were so friendly and helpful . The property is so beautifully located and actually managed to see turtle laying ; camouflaging and a failed attempt at nesting and return to the sea . The early morning 2 hour tour was exceptional

United KingdomTrips massively overpriced for the time spent - happy to pay the price at this end of the market, but expect to get more for the premium price - too short and only go where all the other trips go to…. That said, Christian, our guide for our trips was brilliant !!

United KingdomOne recommendation as oppose to a complaint, I would definitely always like to see a coffee machine in room.
What a Traditional, beautiful Costa Rican stay. we really enjoyed the whole experience of staying at Tortuguero Lodge from the Hotels boat transfer in, to the delicious food which was literally waiting for us on arrival. The hotel arranged two trips for us, the twilight walk through their own trail which was stunning and we saw snakes, frogs and spiders. Then also a morning boat tour around the national park where we saw sloths, monkeys and caiman. The hotel itself is beautiful and kept ver clean all in all I would highly recommend!

NetherlandsSuites don't have a separate bedroom as advertised. It's just one room with 2 double beds, so we were all sleeping with kids in the same room. Everything is extremely expensive all around (we were charged $30 pp for taxiboat when we arrived...$10 on our way back (which was normal price).
Excellent location. Very nice staff.

PolandThis place is amazing. The staff was extremely helpful. There's a part of the jungle belonging to the property that you can explore. They have many animals around (iguanas, monkeys, toucans). During our stay we were able to spot there three species of toucans. We highly recommend trips that they offer - for additional fee but worth of it. Rooms are spacious and clean. Food was delicious. The property is just ca 100 m form the airstrip - just on the other part of a river. They offer free boat transportation.
