Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

We had one night at 3 arch resort and were very comfortable. The 2 family rooms were a great size, the view from the balcony was amazing. The staff were all very attentive and friendly. Breakfast was plentiful and good. We would definitely stay again.

The roof in the bathroom needs to be replaced. It had a leak and some mold.
We loved the size of the family suite, the location close to town but away from the noise. (You will need a car or tuk tuk to get around as it's at the end of a steep road). The kind staff and great breakfast and dinner options. The bed was very large and comfortable and the room had A/C (though not needed during our stay). They also have shampoo and soap dispensers in the shower (which was also great, hot water, spacious and with 3 settings) instead of single use plastic. The welcome drink and cool towels when returning from the day's excursions was also a nice touch.

The breakfast was average
Our room was clean & the bed was very comfortable. The staff were lovely & helped me after a leech bite with first aid cleaning it with antiseptic. We were out of the town but the hotel staff ordered us Tuk tuks which was no problem.

There a loads of dogs in the area and they barked all night. The windows in the property allow all the noise to come in. Kids slept but adults didn’t !!! That’s what you get I guess when being out in the wilderness more. Would be perfect if they had a pool 😊
A lovely property in the middle of greenery. The rooms were lovely and spacious and all the staff were very kind and went above and beyond to help us. Nice filling breakfast also.

However, no air con. Just ceiling fan, and room got extremely hot with sun on it all day. There were vents in the windows which let in hot air/all the bugs didn’t have any netting over the vents. WiFi was bad, even after reception provided us with another router it was intermittent. The room/bed wasn’t cleaned each day and you would expect it for that price. The tuk tuk driver the reception called was the same driver each day and over charged us on multiple trips into town. You’re better off making your own plans.
Room was spacious, huge bed and great view. Breakfast was good. Staff were helpful.

We asked for a ground floor room with little stairs for our friend with crutches. The only ground floor room had stairs to go to the bathroom. Little inconvenient but just writing this here for people in wheelchairs. It worked out overall and we all loved staying here and the staff was very nice to bring breakfast down to her room so she didn’t need to go up all the stairs to the restaurant
We loved our stay here! Very comfortable room. Stunning property. The breakfast was delicious. Staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. I am so happy our group stayed here!

No air con in the room. Very loud between dogs barking outside, from the kitchen next to us and people on the stairs/hallway. Didn’t make up room the next day and no clean towels. Asked for two fresh towels but only got 1 which was a bit dirty. You don’t get to pick your own breakfast, they give you what ever they have planned and you don’t know what you’re being handed. They only thing you can choose is the type of egg you get.
Staff very nice. Good location, it’s reasonably priced so you pay for what you get.

Although the hotel was in a very quiet and beautiful location, the owners are extremely noisy, at night and early in the morning.
