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 States of AmericaEverything was great except that they helped us to schedule a taxi for the day that would leave us a the airport at the end of the day, the hotel gave us a flat rate for 80km and we paid directly to the hotel. The taxi driver was not helpful, he took us to some places that we didn’t ask for, it was noticiable that he was trying to drive more km so we had to pay more. Once we were arriving to airport the driver stoped in the middle of the driveway to ask for more money, it was a very stressful moment because he would not agree to finish the ride. At the end we had to pay more money as he wanted just because we only wanted to get out of that taxi.
The hotel is well located, close to the beach with an amazing view. The bedroom was spacious and clean. The breakfast was very good, they had a variety of options and the staff was very helpful at all times.

United KingdomThere were not many food options in the menu, but overall was it was fine. The booking was complicated process as the card was continually said as not working though Booking.com had confirmed it. The property had issues with card machine and insisted we pay by Indian payment method or Indian card. Took a while to resolve.
It was clean, fairly secluded if needed peace and quiet. The staff were helpful and professional.

IndiaDespite close proximity to the beach we couldn’t go there due to multiple warning boards that only Dona Paula residents are allowed there, especially after 7.30pm. The bed was very hard, not pliable at all. Way too many warning messages inside the room about what to do and what not to do especially in relation to the linen. Balcony in our room was facing the diesel generator and area for garbage bags, so it wasn’t usable (a heads up about this could have been provided). The breakfast was very mediocre, this might be a one off incident since in general reviews mentioned that breakfast was nice - good spread, but not tasty. In fact we went out for breakfast on the second day despite breakfast being complimentary. Management has to consider refurbishing the washroom. Overall it was not value for money especially when we learnt at the time of check out that direct bookings were a lot lesser priced.
Location is nice - close proximity to Hawaii beach and the Dona Paula view point is at a walkable distance. Room was spacious with a. King size bed and clean. Good hospitality, friendly staff. They helped me rent out a scooter too. Ground floor rooms get an additional hallway and ease of getting in and out is appreciated. Ample vehicle parking space available.
