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 reviewWe arrived a few hours early, and want to thank Tharun for getting our appartment ready super quick. Really appreciated!! The appartment is great, has everything you need for a few days, and the rooms are lovely. Location is exceptional, right on the beech, and 2 mins from Dive Guru, where we organised diving, snorkelling and a dolphin trip. We also ate there most days as the food is lovely. Plus Memo's next door is great for cocktails. Great stay, thank you!
An oven would be helpful, but that's a teeny inconvenience.

Verified reviewThe apartment was really spacious and clean as well as everything outside (pool and beach)
You only have 2gb WIFI per day and the WIFI does not work properly. After buying for extra Wifi it still didn‘t work probably and they wanted to charge for overused GB at the end of the stay which they didn‘t told us before that you can extend the 2GB per day

Verified reviewWe have been in the apartment complex before and really like the apartment space, the pool and the location at the beach. This apartment is very functional and has a nice view. The restaurant in the complex is practical, but there are also a lot more restaurants down the beach.
The apartment could use some more pictures, dressers etc. and some things, like the ironing board, are broken, but nothing that botherd us.

Verified reviewVery nice apartment complex directly at the ocean. In the neighboring house is a hotel located with a small restaurant, but they also deliver to the room. The food is okay, but the service can be improved. Otherwise the hotel personelle was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the big pool with a lot of deckchairs. The ocean was very clean and the beach not too steep with some nice waves. A diving trip to Pigeon Island is highly recommended, where you can enjoy the underwater wildlife with turtles, small sharks and a lot of colourful fish.

Verified reviewThe location was great if you want to stay near the beach, but you are a little distance away from the main town so you might struggle to purchase grocery type items. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the master bath was great but the main bathroom/shower was not built for a bigger made person.
Its nothing to do with the apartment itself but I would not recommend the restaurant on site. The food was not great and we were the only people eating there but it took 1 hour 40 minutes to get the food after we ordered. The items we bought were also things that are made reasonably quickly like fried rice and noodles.

Verified reviewThe location is right on the beach with great views. There is also a very good swimming pool. Though the beach had a red flag, many people were swimming under the watchful eyes of guards. There is a dive school adjacent for those that might want to scuba. The restaurant was a very short walk next door though breakfast can be delivered to your apartment. Kitchen was very well equipped and lounge is large. There are two balcony seating areas looking over the sea.
Though the main bedroom has a large wardrobe area, the other two bedrooms have no storage whatsoever. Bear this in mind should two couples be staying or if a family is thinking of booking for more than a couple of days as you could be living out of a suitcase. Only one light switch in these bedrooms and at furthest point from each bed, so take a torch! Do make sure that the breakfast is all that it should be as there seems to be a 'fingerless' chef. We were a party of three but chef only supplied one portion of beans each day. Booking .com does not state that you may well have to pay for an internet connection beyond a small allowance of data. Also be aware that 'toiletries' means no more than a bar of soap, so do take your own.
