How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewIt was an ok property. For the price, more was expected in all facets.
Room was meant to be cleaned daily, it wasn't. General cleanliness was just ok, cutlery and other utensils was hmm. For the price point and self contained, missing many things. Examples regular clean bathroom and beach towels, tongs, spatulas, salt-pepper-oil, etc. Pool cleanliness hmmm & too many to list. Happy to chat further if needed.

Verified reviewWOW - What a find The Beach Shack is. We were travelling as a group of 5 couples - we wanted our own space but also space to be able to be together and this is exactly what was provided. Fantastic venue, beautifully appointed with all the extras you didn't realise you needed but were very much appreciated - soft towels, beach towels, bath robes, well-appointed rooms, comfy beds. And breakfast - was beautiful and different every day - so much food it almost lasted all day. Veronica is the most welcoming host and is an delight.
Nothing - it was the perfect stay

Verified reviewThe location was excellent, and the staff member on reception and housekeeping was delightful and extremely helpful. The Beach Shack was ideal for my needs. I stayed in two different units during my stay and both were very nice and well appointed. I plan to stay here again.
In the first unit I stayed in, the air conditioner was not functioning well and was unable to cool the room adequately on a hot day. In both the units I stayed in, the lock had broken on the screen doors, meaning I needed to sleep with the glass doors closed and locked in order to feel secure. In the room where the air conditioner wasn't functioning this meant a hot night. These issues can be easily fixed.
Thank you for your review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return. in regard to the fly screen latches, we deliberately disabled the latching to avoid guests accidentally locking themselves out . kind regards, Veronica
