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.).

SwitzerlandThe hotel might need some renovations. Considering its wonderful location, it could become a more "luxury resort", but considering that it is currently a 3 stars resort, it offers the facilities that comply with its rating.
My balcony in my room had one of the best view I've ever had. The sunset was simply amazing! I generally enjoyed my stay and I finally decided to extend my reservation of 1 night. I really enjoyed the pancakes for breakfast, big and fluffy and full of fruits of your choice. The staff was friendly and helped me with my heavy suitcases, that was adorable!

IndiaThe place is Next to the beach, has their own cafe and their own diving resort as well. The place is basic (it’s a small island after all). Staff is friendly and will provide breakfast as early as 4am if you are going for Thresher shark dives. The water in the taps is salty. All in all, recommended for short stays if you are diving.

CanadaThe bathroom was not my favourite place in the world. There were signs of mold and it was a very musty place. Wifi was also very limited -- which was unfortunate as my partner needed to work remotely. In the lobby the connection was fine, but from our room (which was just down the hall) there was no wifi connection at all.
The location was wonderful, the view from our room was beautiful, and the staff was beyond helpful. Anything we needed, they helped us to arrange.

NetherlandsThe hygiene. It's a pity, otherwise it would have been a solid 9 for me. The towels were full of stains, and one of the beds even had small blood stains. The shower isn’t grounded, so I had to turn it off just to be safe and take cold showers. It was fine because of the hot weather. The fridge smells bad. I’d love to come back, but the hygiene needs to be improved — then it would truly be an amazing place to stay. Once again, the staff were very friendly, and I mean this purely as a helpful tip. You have a real gem — make the most of it!
The location is perfect, and the staff are really kind. At first, I had a room with a lot of red ants, but when I asked for a different one, it was no problem. The new room was much better and had a huge balcony with a great view. The air conditioning also worked very well. Breakfast is good with a nice view.

GermanyThe sheets had stains, the bathroom was very old. The room seemed smaller than 24m2. But it still is a very good deal for the price!
The location is amazing, the hammocks are fantastic to chill out at the beach without getting sunburnt. It is close to many restaurants and you can walk there from the port. The breakfast is nice, you can choose a dish which will be prepared for you then.

ItalyThe property is nice and located at the beginning of the beach where all the divings and restaurants are. Our room did not have Aircon so it was hot during the night. In the bathroom there is always sewer smell but closing the door helps. WiFi is good enough and the breakfast is ok. Staff is not as friendly as in other hotels we have been in the Philippines.
