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...).

FranceWe liked everything that we experienced, but if we were going to back to the area, we might consider a place with a pool, as it got pretty hot sometimes and it would have been lovely to have somewhere to cool off.
This was a fantastic stay on the edge of the national park The staff are absolutely outstanding and always ready to help, engage and enhance your stay. We really couldn't ask for more. The location near the lake is lovely, nice breeze comes in each evening to cool things off. We even saw a crocodile from the edge!

United KingdomThe stay was spoiled by an issue with accommodation for our driver. Apparently, free accommodation for drivers is only provided with direct bookings, and not through Booking.com which charges a 20% fee for the bookings. This should be made clear when enquiries are made.
Spacious room with balcony to have meals in private. Very hearty breakfast, beautifully presented. The only place that serves bacon and eggs instead of the usual frankfurters.

IsraelThe room bath could have been cleaner. On the first night, we had many ants in the room, which the staff solved by applying an extra spray after we asked for it.
It has a great location, on the lake shore and close to the national park entrance. The villas are comfortable, modest, and tranquil, especially in the afternoon. The highlight was the staff, who were very kind and welcoming. The food was great, and the chef helped to create special dishes for the small kids. The lake boat ride during the sunset was very nice.

SwedenBeware the thousands of lizards, frogs and snakes, don't let the room doors and windows open. But hey, that's part of the experience. We had dinner and we got reaally small portions of meat and fish. That was a shame. But otherwise it was good.
Beautiful, very romantic place if you come with a partner. The rooms are great. Very nice staff that helped with the booking of the safari and prepared us a to go breakfast.
