Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

GermanyThe location is pretty far away from the town so you need a car to get around but that's okay because you know so beforehand. The owner is a bit pushy. He kept wanting to sell us tours which we didn't want to book because we got around with our own car. At one point he told us what not to do that day because we should go with him the next day. It rained the following day so we never went. He also made us take his cousin to the next town, promising a great place for local food, which turned out to be his cousin pointing in no general direction after we dropped him off, saying: you can eat somewhere there. If he'd asked we would have taken his cousin to the next town but the misleading was very annoying and exhausting for a holiday. I think this place is better for people who don't want to plan their daily activities by themselves.
Tina's Guest House is a nice place to stay. It is clean and has a big room. The bathroom is good and overall it's a solid accommodation. On top of the building is a rooftop terrace that you can use and the owner has a lot of information for you. You can also book every tour through him if you want to. The location is tranquil and quiet but very safe. The owner let us park our rental car next to his which was very kind.

Francethank you to Michael and Beverly, who delighted us for three weeks, their warm welcome, great atmosphere in a Jamaican family. Beverly Hills meals are as beautiful as they are prepared with love, not to mention the smoothies and other local drinks. Michael, well known in the sector, advised us every day on our visits and trips thanks to whom we met some very nice people and made our trip great with lots of memories and postcards to feast our eyes on. We advise you if you are in Jamaica to stay with them, they are a wonderful family.

South AfricaTina's is located on a small road, just below the main road which carries heavy traffic. Large trucks use high gears to decelerate on that section of the main road and there is therefore a lot of traffic noise. This disturbs what would otherwise be a peaceful seaside road with sounds of the waves carried by the wind. There were a lot of small noiseless mosquitos and a good repellant or spray is advisable. Overall the positives greatly outweighed the negatives and after five nights we were sad to leave.
Michael and Beverly were delightful hosts and a pleasure to be with. Our bedroom had a double bed, bedside table, a chest of drawers, chair, table and TV. There was an air conditioner with an optional extra charge for use, but we found the standing fan to be adequate. The room was basic and curtains and paintwork could have done with some maintenance. The bathroom was tiled and clean and equipped with basin, toilet and bath with shower over bath. The shower was good and there was plenty of hot water. The basin unfortunately did not have any hot water, which made shaving difficult. Towels were provided. Guests are treated like family and have the run of the house with access to fridge, stove, cutlery, crockery, microwave and coffee maker. There was a dining room table to sit and eat meals and chairs on the front porch for relaxing. We were able to access an upstairs balcony with a clear panoramic view of the sea and sunsets - ideal for enjoying sundowners at the end of a hot day.

United KingdomFamily pets (of a cat & dog) at the property not mentioned in description
Only had to tell taxi driver the road name once and he was able to get straight there, making Tina's easy to find. Was upgraded to the en-suite room - and both the room and the kitchen had every amenity needed. Room and property were homely & comfortable - property really does have that 'real Jamaica vibe' mentioned. Locals were super friendly and helpful (especially Miss Juney). Didn't get to meet the hosts however, got several calls/messages checking I was settled, etc, and the next day Debbie arrived & made sure hot water was available without my having to ask. There was some confusion over room/house keys but it was resolved.
