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 KingdomI couldn't find the check-in desk because there was literally no staff anywhere. I had to message the hotel on the booking.com app to let them know I was there. Then when I checked out, same problem. The lock for my door was insanely stiff. I needed two hands to move the key to open it, it was like a fight every time I needed to go in my room.
The location to siam park and the beach was great. Close to lots of restaurants and shops too. Relatively clean. View from the balcony was good.

United KingdomIt’s a shame that the wider hotel is in a bit of a state of disrepair - not that there’s much the owners of the apartment can do about that - my assumption is that the “hotel” element that supports/ maintains the wider property has gone out of business?
Perfect self-contained apartment, very clean, good to have kitchen amenities, only a short walk to the beach and both Adeje and Las Americas

SloveniaVery good location, the room was clean and good! It also has a sea view from balcony! Its 200m from the main bus station Costa Adeje. In case you rent a car, you can also find lots of free parking around the bus station and the hotel. There is small supermarket nearby, lots of restaurants, bars... The only minus is, that the hotel is still under renovation process, but that didnt bother us.

ItalyIt's a really strange building, half-dismissed or under renovation. Sometimes was also kind of creepy and we didn't feel 100% secure even if there is surveillance at the entrance.
It was a nice room at the first impact and the Host Marco was really friendly.

GermanyIt's a ghetto. Terrible price/value ratio. Read Google reviews about Hotel Ponderosa in Teneriffe: this will be your location. Small room. Rusty water. No service in the room (no cleaning in 5 days). Old hotel. One slow elevator. Everything is old and degrading. You will hear every little sound your neighbours make. Unfriendly terrible reception (it's a hired separate organization. They don't care about guests and service). This can't stay unnoticed. Never again.
- view (you can see a piece of the ocean) - beach proximity - overall lively region

IrelandBathroom towels old and smelling like wet doq. Dark brown tap water. No housekeeping of the communal areas and facilities. Construction noise happening in the building from early morning. Unfriendly staff. Drugs users living there, smoking weed at all times of the day and making lots of trouble, dumping their trash in front of my door too. In general the worst holiday experience.

CroatiaGreat location, everything is nearby. Very tidy, available car rental, organization of excursions around the island, washing machine and dryer in the hotel. A perfect vacation spot for young and old, families and singles, friends...everyone. Communication with the owners is perfect, they respond very quickly and are available to help. Before check-in and after check-out, we could leave our luggage at the hotel for free and continue our stay on the island. Very spacious room with private balcony and swimming pool inside the hotel. :)

United StatesLocation was impossible to acess,google would point to adjoining property. Place was dirty looked like it was ready for the wrecking ball. Greeted by a shady looking individual dressed in his speedos,his main concern was that we give him our passports for booking. We felt very unsafe in a dingy,badly lit greeting space. I would not recomend this place unless your on the run.

United KingdomNot sure if there is even anyone who works there. It’s more like a apartment block for the locals, not tourists. It’s also not called ‘Bamboli’ it’s called something completely different, was walking around looking for it and asking random people if they knew but no one and even the taxi driver has never heard of Bamboli

NetherlandsTo start with, the location of the hotel was quite unclear. We didn't know where to go. There are also two locations of the hotel with approximately the same name on Google maps, which makes it very unclear. If you visit this hotel you have to be at: Hotel Apart Ponderosa (Hotel A. Ponderosa). The hotel looks a bit skechty. The main entrance seemed closed so we had no idea where to go, eventually someone yelled in Spanish, while we don't speak Spanish, that we had to come through a strange side entrance. (During the whole stay we did not see the person who rents out these rooms, only spoke via Whatsapp with all the information we basically needed). The employees at the reception were very unfriendly and could not speak a word of English. We were yelled at and they were swearing to us with bad words which I did understand. This happened both times during check-in and check-out. Fortunately, we were able to communicate a little bit with Google Translate. The apartment in general could have been much cleaner. Furthermore, the water was extremely dirty (yellow in color). Sometimes there were also cockroaches in the hotel room and bathroom. Furthermore, the WiFi was quite bad, it was slow and unstable. This also applies to normal 4G coverage. Furthermore, the room was very noisy, especially the last days when people started working with a drill right above our hotel room, we were literally shocked awake by the unannounced work. And in the evening we could enjoy the sexual intercourse of our neighbors. And I don’t really understand why it was needed to text me via Whatsapp and not via Booking.com directly. You are not my family or friends I talk with on Whatsapp. I find that very unprofessional.
The hotel was in a pretty good location with easy access to everywhere. There was a bus station nearby and other cozy towns such as Costa Adeje & Playa de Las Americas. The room also had a nice view of the mountains and the sea. We liked that there was a TV, although the Spanish channels are nothing to us at all and the TV signal was lagging. Fortunately, we had a Chromecast with us so that we could watch what we wanted. There was also a bath and plenty of towels and toilet paper. The bed itself was comfortable. It was also nice that there was a fridge.

RomaniaWe found a huge coach roach, but I sure think it was there by mistake. After all is a tropical island, and it did happened to me once more when visiting Tenerife.
We had a great time at this accommodation. We didn't spend that much time in house, so our requirement were delivered by this place. The room is small, but it has everything you need. A comfy bed,a tv, a mirror, some equipment to cook and a huge balcony so you can enjoy your morning coffee, with a beautiful view. The accommodation is near the supermarket, the beaches and the night clubs. We will sure chose the same place.
