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...).

PortugalI have nothing to say. Loved everything :)
We loved it so much that we booked one night and stayed 5 nights. The Internet is great if you need to work - I had several calls with clients. Moi who worked in the restaurant was a great company and extremely helpful. Karl and Lynn were amazing hosts. Karl even finished one of the new rooms so we can stay more nights. The location is beautiful and was everything I needed.

United Kingdom3B is run by a lovely couple who did everything possible to make our stay great. The location was on the beach which had a lovely sunrise. Everything in the restaurant was cooked fresh once you had ordered. 20 mins waiting is so worth it and the Chicken Curry is a highlight. Karl is a great cook and I would recommend any specials they have too! We had washing done which was perfect. Algeria itself doesn’t have much. We rented a motorbike which the hotel arranged for us which was stress free. Please ensure you bring more than enough cash as there are not many working cash points. Karl and Lyn made our stay great. Also they have some beautiful dogs which is always a bonus. We will be back!!!

SpainIt’s a VERY simple accommodation! Far too simple for 30€/night. We know that it was built after the big storm but all the hotels we have stayed in the Philippines have been rebuilt afterwards and we have stayed in real paradise hotels for 30€/night. The 3B is located at the beach but there are no beach beds and no beach towels. They provide the normal towels for the beach which leaves sand in them after cleaning them. So you have again sand on your body after the shower. The shower and the toilet are right beside in the same space so you always have a wet toilet after taking a shower. The paper bin where you have to put the toilet paper hasn’t been cleaned in 4 days, neither has the room or the bathroom. The room has a PLASTIC closet and just a plastic curtain to separate the bathroom from the bedroom which isn’t really appealing in certain moments. Honestly, we didn’t like it at all! The hotel right beside the 3-B is absolutely beautifully built with chill out zones and houses with terraces in front, with a restaurant with ventilation and it charges the same 30€/night. We would have changed even knowing we would not get a refund if they’d had a free room but they were always fully booked. We have left our daughter in a hostel on Siargao and it was much nicer and cleaner than the 3-B for 8€/night. We would definitely not recommend it.
Just the friendly staff, especially Rona and Lyn. Food was ok

United States of AmericaI ended up not staying as other rooms became available with AC. I never really gave Karl and Lyn a chance. AC was important to me and I guess I overlooked that when booking. My fault. I will say that I stayed at many locations in my 3 week journey and all my rooms were a cut above at the same price point.
On the beach.
