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.).

ItalyThere was frequent power outage, and I found the prices at the bar and restaurant extremely expensive, especially for foreigners (it’s advertised as a 20% discount for locals). So, we just walked ten minutes to the town and ate at local prices.
The location, just 3 minutes from the beach, the extremely helpful staff, the aesthetically pleasing structure, and the cleanliness of all the spaces.

United StatesReally rustic. Almost too rustic. Power kept going out and there was no AC and the generator only partially worked. I checked out early because showering and sleeping became too difficult. Also, prepare for lots of mosquitos.
It was cute and very rustic. Good proximity to the beach.

PolandThe bar is quite expensive for what is has to offer. There was a crazy animal living in my room and it ate our entire pack of chocolate, but it's actually an exotic plus rather than something negative ;).
A tropical paradise in an amazing location. Very close to the beach, safe surroundings, calm and cozy. Very helpful manager who helped us to organize our excursions.

SlovakiaWindows didn’t have nets, and our mosquitiera wasn’t dense enough to keep mosquitos out. Some of the towels weren’t changed for a longer time, so you could see some funky bussiness living there.
Beautiful garden, hammocks, lots of trees. The place was really close to the beach and lovely beach bar. Two adorable dogs guarding our bungalow terrace ❤️ Staff was always smiling, really friendly.

KenyaThe menu is very limited I wish they could have more. I don't know if it's not part of what you are offering but it would be nice to have some kind of entertainment for guests I only saw chess and the band wasn't played even once(I was told the one supposed to wasn't around). It would keep the guests around more and in the end increase bar and kitchen sales. The one that was much of a dislike for everyone was the WiFi if I hadn't bought a Vodacom line I don't know how I would have survived because before I book I always insist on WiFi. This too made the hotel loss on kitchen and bar sales because we ended spending more time in the hotels where WiFi was uninterrupted. Lastly but not list I didn't like that my room had the bathroom and toilet outside and it was indicated while I was booking. And there were no mirrors in the room or bathroom. One last one I only got some on my second last night 🤔
I liked the fact that it looks exactly as it is in the pictures. My kids and I enjoyed the nature in the surrounding. Even the rooms were cool because the roof is natural. The staff were easy to deal with. The staff understood English and had information for everything I needed to know. The one added advantage for me was I could pay using my mpesa unlike all other places I visited. I was also glad that I could walk to the beach from the hotel.

Czech RepublicThe outside toilet and bathroom could be uncomfortable, you never know what insects you are gonna meet during the night. Lots of tiny mosquitoes that got into the mosquito net. Some ants, but it was not that big problem. The location is almost in the middle of nowhere. There are no restaurants and shops close by. That could be nice for someone, but it wasn't for us.
Very nice bungalows, nice staff. Really liked the decorations and the well maintained garden. The bungalow was big enough. We loved the welcome on the board. It's a great spot if you want to be let alone without people. Empty beach. We didn't have a chance to try the mexican kitchen, but I bet it's very good. We were followed by a local dog to the village, where people were scared of it for some reason, so you have your own bodyguard:)

FranceArrived to locked gates; guard eventually let me in. Owner was almost never reachable. She later admitted the hotel was “closed, and open "by mistake.” No reception, no cleaning, no hot water, 12-hour blackouts; card machine “broken,” cash only. I told him I’d withdraw cash Friday but left a day earlier. The next morning—before I could ask for an online payment link—he sent threats (“police will find you”) and insults (“piece of **”) by WhatsApp and Booking.com.

Only few steps from the beach and the local little town is only 1km and it has streetfood and even a outdoor nightclub. The garden itself with the nearby beach is like a vacation destination on its own

Denmarkrats in the restaurant and in the room. when we saw the rat in the room before bedtime, we asked to change rooms and accepted a temporary solution for 4 people without kitchen even though we are 5 (and had booked a room with kitchen). next day we were promised a better solution, but when the manager finally showed up, we were told that the only solution was to keep the room for 4 without kitchen. it was quite unpleasant as the manager didn’t seem interested in working on a proper solution. owner didn’t respond to my call. we then asked for the money back, but the manager refused. we decided to leave the place, and only then the manager proposed that we could use a kitchen in a different room, but still had no good solution for the missing bed. it was too little too late. we agreed with the bar staff that we should sort the restaurant bill with the owner, since we had not received our money back from the rest of the stay (restaurant bill being much lower than the price of accommodation). afterwards we received threatening messages from the owner in private messages. a real awful experience that could have been avoided, had the manager and owner been just a bit friendly and service minded.
first hand impression: nice with big towels in the room and friendly staff at the bar.
