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 reviewConveniently located within walking distance to bars and restaurants. Spacious. Friendly staff.
The family room we had looks somewhat run down, the tiny balcony was full of bird poo and the carpet in the room looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. Directly next to the main road so a bit noisy with trucks passing through.
Thank you for your comment, Corinna. We are in the process of doing a makeover of the unit you utilized. The theme will remain old school, but with new carpets and decor. The staircase and deck will also be replaced in the near future. Regards. Jozua

Verified reviewSecond time that I booked at Geluksdam and will definitely do it again. Hidden gem on the long road. You can relax under the shade of big beautiful trees after a long day of driving. Your vehicle is safe. And the host is such a nice friendly person
Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated.

Verified reviewThe room was stinking of smoke. This was terribly disappointing, having my children to sleep in a family room where the smell was unbearable! The smoking smell was everywhere, including the bedding and towels. I am extremely disappointed and won't ever sleep here again!
Ahw... This is really disappointing. So sorry to hear of your bad experience. Unfortunately, it cannot be undone. Trust the rest of your trip were without a hiccup. Travel safe.

Verified reviewDon't forget to book for Dinner! The Host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and was kind enough to allow us to join the scrumptious Buffet we didn't book for and to top it off they kindly grilled a steak for my son. I highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a warm and accommodating experience
Thank you for staying over. Thank you also for your positive review. Hospitality is our game. We intend for you to feel welcomed, safe and cared for. Travel safe. Jozua and team.

Dirty and wobbly outside table. A bit shabby and needs some sprucing up outside the rooms.
