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.).

PolandNo shower available at the place. The breakfast was all sweet - but you can try some local fruits or bread spreads so it’s still nice :). Charging is very limited to one usb, so we couldn’t charge our camera or watches
The staff is great and it’s a great experience to sleep on a boat in such a beautiful place :)

United StatesThe hosts were great. Welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable. The boat is excellent with a beautiful wood interior. Our captain's cabin was bigger than any cabin we've been in on a sailboat. We borrowed the kayaks to paddle around Opunohu Bay and visit the beach. Our sunset sail was a highlight as we've departed Opunohu Bay and sailed the Pacific.

United StatesWhere to meet is hard to find. We did not have good cell service but we were able to get a phone connection. Park by the gate next to the restaurant and walk on to the dock. If we can find them - anyone can.
This is a unique Polynesian stay for any age. The hosts, in their late 30’s, were patient and kind to us - age 64. They love sharing their lifestyle and time in Moorea. This is a sailboat - do not anticipate luxury - anticipate and appreciate the lifestyle. The place is extremely clean and the hosts wonderful. They speak excellent English and enjoy sitting and visiting. The real bonus is the sunset cruise. We were the only ones staying on the boat and our cruise ended up being private. JP and his first mate (Doris was at her other job - guiding whale watching tours). We were able to take the helm and steer the sailboat and learn the basics of the sail positions. You must experience this unusual - and - unique place to stay. Thanks JP and Doris!

United KingdomYou’re on a boat - so do you preparations before hand. We loved every minute!
From arriving at the Yacht Club, we where made extremely welcome. We had good directions to get to the Yacht Club. The boat is beautiful and is located in the beautiful Ōpūnohu Bay. Overlooked by the Amazon mountains of Morea. The yacht club had good food if you wanted to eat on shore. We were advised to take food for the days JP and Doris didn’t provide food. We came up short one day and they shared some amazing food with us, they didn’t have to do this. JP and Doris are fabulous owners. We also had Fani join us for the snorkel tour. She was laid back, really nice, and we had lots of laughs.

PanamaThe inside of the boat has a bit of a smell. I felt it when I first arrived, but by the second day I was used to it. I'm not sure where the smell came from or whether it was caused by a cleanliness deficiency, yet it was bearable.
The hosts are lovely. They embarked on this exciting adventure two and a half years ago, and were generous to share it with us. JP and Doris were kind enough to offer us the main cabin, which was very comfortable. They are extremely easy-going, enagaging and kind. The boat is a dream; three cabins with wooden interior. It is equipped with everything that you will need during your stay. The sailing trip was thrilling. JP prepared a fresh and filling lunch for all of us. I hightly recommend future guests to take the sea sickness pill. I didn't and as a result was nauseus during most of the excursion. The snorkeling part was my favorite, where we got to see blacktip sharks, stingrays and tikis, among dozens of species of fish and corals. On our first night, we got takeaway Thai food from one of the local businesses on the island. After having dinner in the common area of the boat, JP suprised us with a guitar and his talent to play it! We sang dozens of songs. It was harmonic end to a wonderful day. Breakfast is cofffee, fruits and bread with local jams. Quite nice.

AustriaWe stayed three nights at this lovely sailing boat. The boat is very nice & precisely manufactured. Everything was perfectly clean and we felt comfortable. A wonderful sailing trip was included with information about sailing and a music session. Doris and JP are very heartwarming hosts. Everyday we woke up in the calm marina with a scenic view and got delicious breakfast on board. Close by there is a restaurant which serves great fish dishes. It was a very nice experience and we enjoyed it to the fullest!

United StatesBreakfast is the same every day and consists of carbs only: bread and jam, no protein at all.
The location of the boat is in a beautiful setting in Opunohu Bay. You're basically guaranteed a gorgeous sunset. Great communication with both Doris and JP—quick replies to all the messages through Booking and Whatsapp. If you need to go ashore, a dinghy is readily available for supermarket trips, land-based activities and showers at the marina. We had a few pleasant evenings cooking meals, drinking wine and chatting with the other guests and the hosts. Overall, a fun and unique stay on a sailboat.

SpainDoris and JP were very kind with during all our stay. Breakfast was based on bread with jams and fruit, all of very good quality. :) Due to a misunderstanding, we did not bring food for the stay, but very kindly they offered to cook for us and we paid them the menu price. Very kind from their side since the supermarkets were far away and we did not have transport to get around. Note that we did the snorkeling excursions with Doris, who took us to strategic points to see many fish, turtles, as well as being able to swim with sharks and rays. With JP we went sailing, and it was a very rewarding experience as we were able to learn about the world of sailing and the work that having a sailboat entails. Recommended experience for couples who want to get out of the traditional, and meet people from all over the world.
