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):
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.).

HungaryThe room's ventilation is bad and the fans don't help much because the windows are simply too small.
We loved everything! The hosts are incredibly nice, considerate and helpful. They make tasty breakfasts at average price which is served on the rooftop that has hammocks and a beautiful view over the lake :)) They also make takeaway lunch and dinner on request. The check-in times were flexible. The room was pretty big and the shared kitchenette had everything we needed. We were given a lot of useful tips and could also rent bikes for reasonable money. The location is alright: it is a bit far from the center (30 mins walk) but Despensa supermarket is just 10 mins walk + there are many small shops nearby. They accepted Revolut transfer for all the small things + for the trips they helped organize which came in very handy :) In short, we cannot be thankful enough for the experience and the hospitality! We wish a lot of luck and success with the community project too and I hope we will one day meet again! ;)

United KingdomThe shower pressure wasn’t great but it was nice and hot.
This was a perfect place to stay for our short visit to Flores. The hosts are so friendly and welcoming, answering any questions and bike rental available. The rooftop is amazing, well equipped kitchen for cooking, room very clean and spacious. The community work that the hosts do is amazing was fantastic to join in with this on Sunday evening. Whilst a little outside of the main town/island it is easily connected by taxi or tuktuk and the hosts are happy to help arrange this. Also very easy to cycle ti Flores and the surrounding areas.

GermanyWe liked everything! Just be aware that you're not within walking distance to Flores if you're there to visit the island. But they can set you up with a nice Tuktuk driver to take you around..
Super nice hosts, very helpful, great hospitality! Besides the hotel the hosts are working on a project for the benefit of the local community (including a French language school for kids, regular clean up activities, ...) - both have a very inspiring energy!:) The place itself is very nice and comfy, with a great rooftop terrace where a small, but very delicious breakfast is served at an extra cost.

NetherlandsUntil now, this was the best place we've stayed during our 2 month holiday. The owners Janesca and Alexis are so kind en helped us with everything. The breakfast was amazing and we've tried Janesca's secret whiskey-liquor. Amazing! The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. And the cherry on top the cake was the amazing view from the rooftop terrace. Would definitely come here again!

BelgiumVery welcoming and comfortable place. The host Janesca made us feel at home, was very friendly and always happy to help. Our room was very cosy and spacious, bigger than we expected! Our favourite spot was the rooftop terrace: an oasis of peace and chill with a great view on the lake. The house is away from all the tourists but it's a safe and nice walk to the center. You'll also be able to contribute to the lovely local community if you're interested!

United KingdomNot a criticism but a side note as we like dogs, Ruiz is a playful pup, so to be aware he will be happy to greet you! Perhaps a more equipped kitchen could be helpful.
Alexis and Janesca are fantastic and you are made to feel at home In there home and they were very helpful and attentive. Arriving early we were welcomed and made breakfast. The breakfast and dinner were both delicious being made fresh on the day and more than fair price. The upstairs is a really chill out and the rooms is large. About 40 minutes from Isla Flores but only a 5 minute or so Tuk Tuk.

BelgiumSuper nice welcome by Janesca & Alexi in their 'Casa Colorado', their life project in the community of San Benito. In Casa Colorado, you are fare away from the tourist crowds of la isla the Flores, but you get there if you want in 5 minutes by tuk tuk. The room is nice, clean & big. There is a big terrace with hammocks, with a view on the lake, where you can have breakfast & dinner if you wish. Janesca & Alexi made a nice French meal for us: hachis parmentier. They also give information on the neighborhood and things to see and do in the surroundings. In Casa Colorada you arrive in more than a hotel. Janesca & Alexis also organise classes & activities for the children in the neighborhood, cleaning of the beach and much more.

United KingdomMy arrival wasn't very smooth, I waited outside 15 min.no big deal, my room wasn't ready at 18:30, I don't care either. I decided to have dinner there. 30 min. after ordering, they said my room was ready, but I decided to wait there, as I was expecting the dinner would come soon, but it took 1h. and 20 min. I just wished they warned me before. No light in the room for a while... I know they will do it great and the score will be high, but due to my experience I just can give this score
They are very nice people, when I told them the beds were very uncomfortable, they bought a futon to put on top of the mattress, and the next day they said they already ordered new ones.
