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 location is convenient to everything in the downtown area. The staff was helpful and friendly, rate was OK but I had to pay for wifi in the room separately.
Had to pay extra for wifi in the room and TV wouldn't connect to wifi. First night there I had no hot water, after the long flight I was really looking forward to it. Friday and Saturday night there was loud music until early in the morning.

Verified reviewAbsolutely nothing good about this hotel. Their advertising is a lie
The rooms were filthy. Black mold all over the shower. Slimy shower curtin. Horrible lumpy hard pillows. I had to use my neck pillow I use for the airplane to lay my head on at night. The towels were grey and filthy instead of a clean towel. Splashes of yellow red and brown muck filth all up the skirting boards and walls . Paint peeling off walls. The rooms are brown- the floor is brown- the bed cover is brown- the desks are brown. There is no ambiance what so ever in the room. There is no wifi in the room. There is not even wifi in the breakfast restaurant area. It’s only available in the front reception. Even after travelling up to the room on this weird train/escalator thing there is still a heap of stairs to walk up to get to the disgusting room. I was to stay 7 night but I left first thing in the morning on my second day. The place is expensive and horrible. The hotel thinks it’s ok to blast music until 1am even when the dance area is bone dry empty. WARNING : do not book here- Even if the king Solomon paid people to stay…DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT STAYING HERE. Get a BNB instead
Am sorry you had a bad experience on your first trip Appreciate if you could identify yourself so we can offer you some vouchers for your next visits

Verified reviewGood location - a quirky Solomon Island feel to the place -not a bland international hotel
Needs some refurbishment - looking a little run down at the edges. Built on a hillside and the many wooden steps are slippery when wet. Hard to see the funicular controls in low light had to use my torch. There are still additional steps - slippery for me aged 72 and using a stick

Verified reviewGreat friendly and helpful staff who made the stay a pleasant one.
Climbing up the stairs to the room level was a bit of a tedius one and the slide rail car was busy most times I needed to use it. The general accomodation facilities/grounds look well worn and in need of a facelift.

Verified reviewGreat place for holiday. Absolutely beautiful with very friendly staff and nice evening vibes with music. Beautiful pool!
Room was not the one I initially booked. There was no water from a certain time at night until a certain time in the morning. Also very low pressure which made showering difficult. No hairdryer and also no iron - this is a problem when travelling for business. Took forever to check-in and check-out.

The live band was very loud and I couldn’t sleep. My husband and I were only provided 1 towel in the room. No hand towel in the bathroom. Too many stray cats in our corridor which attempted to run into our room.
