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.).

BelgiumThe house could benefit from some maintenance and updates- a few improvements would definitely make it nicer. We would have appreciated to have a wardrobe or shelves for the clothes in the bedrooms.
Diksalas surroundings are lovely, peaceful, and nicely looked after. The kids enjoyed the playground and the games courts – a big plus for the families! The fishpond by the deck was a real highlight, especially for my husband and boys. The house was welcoming with sauna already lit.

GermanyWe missed instructions on how to turn on sauna (maybe we are not the sharpest pencils), but we called administrator and she explained nicely and friendly. Another great addition would be if there would be some tea bags and coffee for the breakfast. The dirt road to the place had a lot of bumps (Latvian road quality).
Namiņš was very cozy and warm. Quite spacious and in good condition. Hot tub was prepared and was super nice. Namiņš was located remotely from other namiņi. Sauna warmed up very quickly. Also check in and out was very easy and required little communication.

LatviaThe terrace floor has settled (sloped) and wobbled a lot when walking on it, everything on the table fell over when you walked past it.
The place itself is great, we were here again. There was everything you needed - a soft, comfortable bed, a clean toilet and shower. This is the smallest and cheapest cabin (5), but the price for it and the scenic surroundings beat other accommodations at a similar price in the nearest city, even if you just need somewhere to spend the night, which is why we chose it this time.

Latviasome of the dishes were a bit unclean, but im guessing that was the previous visitors fault, it happens! also maybe the water temperature and pressure in shower could use some fixing up, and there was a bit of a smell that felt like there has been some alchohol use before us perhaps, but that all felt like nothing compared to the general vibe that this house offered!
i was amazed by having your own island and that youre surrounded by water and nature, youre all on your own(which for an introvert as me i really enjoyed the no meeting in person :) and if youre ready to pay a bit more you also have a sauna and a hot tub, it was literally quite the experience to lay under the stars while enjoying hot water, the facilities were all good, bed was really comfy and overall vibe of the house was truly more than what i expected:)

GermanySomehow we struggled with heating and oxygen availability. Don't get it wrong - it was super warm, even too warm, so all good. But the ventilation (or because it is not active?) and heating somehow did not much together for us.
The concept and utilities are great. It is not first time we re staying there. So it is excellent to see a gradual improvement in infrastructure and offerings. A way to do! Thank you.

LatviaIf you plan a buisness trip, then know its a dirt road to get to the place and you must plan a car wash after the stay. Road has pot holes, so be vigilant not to break a tier.
