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 reviewThe room was nice, with a big tv with netflix which was handy as it rained one of the days! The pool was lovely.
Location is ok, not much around so have to get a taxi/bike most places. Load music in the morning coming from gym next door was very annoying.

Very noisy
Dear Rafal, Thank you for your review however, we would like to clarify that according to your booking policy, a refund and last minute cancellation or modification shouldn't be possible, but we were kind enough to offer one even though we haven't received any complaints from guests about noise from the street. Now, you're giving us a very bad impression, even though you didn't follow our rules. Warm regards, SummerSurf

The bathroom was a bit smelly and we couldn't shut the door from the outside

Verified reviewAVOID this place, I had to leave after the first night due to bed bugs. I had booked 3 nights and found bed bugs in my bed the first night, and they wouldn’t let me cancel the next two nights. I had to fight the management for hours to get my booking canceled and get my money back for the nights I didn’t stay. On top of that, my bathroom had not been cleaned when I checked in, there were lizards in my room, the TV didn’t work, and the sheets and towels had yellow stains. Overall I had a terrible experience, especially for what they’re charging for a private room. You’d be better off getting a homestay in the area for the same price or cheaper.
Dear Afshan, Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for your experience. Issues like bed bugs and cleanliness are unacceptable, and we’ve taken immediate action to address them. We’re also reviewing our policies to handle cancellations more efficiently. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused and appreciate your input to help us improve. Please feel free to reach out to us if you’d like to discuss further. Warm Regards, SummerSurf

Verified reviewFantastic outdoor area and clean pool, friendly staff, comfy rooms albeit cozy. Really lovely location too with shops right next door and overall very happy stay.
Bathrooms were a bit sporadic and sink was in the room as opposed to in the bathroom, so was hard not to wake others up if you needed to use it
