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 reviewLocation and staff and clean. Internet very fast. I would go back.
Bed could be better it was not super comfortable but could be worse. Walls are thin so you can hear neighbors or because windows open.

Verified reviewGreat hosts who were very flexible with our late arrival. Lovely breakfast the next morning on the patio cooked by the couple who owns the property. The views from anywhere on the property were great. The apartments were spacious.
Parking was a little tough getting down a steep and narrow gravel driveway. You might be able to park up on the street instead.

Verified reviewOur host was very helpful and we were even offered a laundry service, which was welcome after a week on jungle trails. The room was very clean and comfortable. The view was lovely. Generous breakfast was cooked to order and served on a deck overlooking the valley- gorgeous! We stayed for 3 nights. Location was convenient to town (loved the farmer's market!) and also to several parks and reserves that we wanted to visit.
We really did not have any complaints.

Verified reviewOur room this time had a kitchen which wasn't necessary but good to know about this option. Billy and his wife are very nice hosts, the breakfast is excellent. We even had a pair of Golden-hooded Tanagers feeding their babies in a hanging orchid basket on the patio. What a treat!
The road noise from big trucks is annoying, but not something they can control. The hotel isn't on the main road so that helps.

Verified reviewNice views, room with most ammenities, lovely Gardens full of birds, Billy and the staff very nice, and an ample breakfast. A Birder's hot spot. EBird list with 33 species seen off the balcony.
Steep driveway, 4 WD advisable Although off the main road the big trucks are still very loud and obnoxious. But still worth the stay.
