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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

The property was amazing, we were surrounded by birds and it felt like we were in the middle of the forest but with all the luxuries of the modern world. There is a pond were we swam and kayaked in during our stay. We saw multiple toucans in the tree next to the restaurant. Our son did not want to leave when we had to leave to go to our new location. I wish we had more days to spend here!

The whole area was beautiful! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great location. Check out Moyas Resturant. Its super close with live entertainment. This place is a great value!

CanadaIt wasn't clear how the breakfast worked. The breakfast was good but we would have preferred to choose since we only stayed 2 nights.
Peaceful oasis and quiet - just natural sounds of birds and monkeys in the distance. We heard a cow too. Good coffee in the am. The hot water worked fine - you just need to turn it on full immediately to activate the heat on demand. Bonus tip: ask Rob to book you the Crazy Allan Night Walk - we saw so many creatures and it was worth it. See pic example from the walk. Other pics are from the property and not the captions assigned.

CanadaThis place was so beautiful. The property is amazing, so you will have the most amazing views while you have your breakfast. Our room was very cute and clean. We did not realize that there would be a little kitchen in the suite, so that was a great surprise. It was super well equipped. We honestly wished we could have stayed longer. The breakfast was delicious and the hosts were so king. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the small lake on the property. There are also many bird feeders, so you get to watch the hummingbirds while you eat. There is a beautiful gallery as well with lots to see!

United StatesSome people complain about no a/c, but this location in Costa Rica does not require it. There were nights we left the slider open and had the fan on, and we were actually chilly. Was quite nice.
Lucky Bug is a magical place to stay. It was clean, tastefully decorated and sits in a quiet location. The breakfast was amazing every day. Thank you, Monica and Rob.

United StatesOur rooms were on an upper level and there's not any help to get up the steep stairs. So if you can't handle that, ask for a room on the lowest level. It's a very long, slow drive to get there. I would have preferred some choice in breakfast. But, at least it was not the local fare we got everywhere else.
The surroundings are beautiful and lush. So many birds everywhere. The shop with local craft items is very good.

United StatesThere is some wear and tear in the bathroom, but it didn't spoil our fun there!
It was a real treat eating breakfast with hummingbirds darting about in front of us! Plus, the breakfast was delicious. The landscaping and detail to decor makes this place unique. Also, after a rain, a ton of toads and frogs came out at night. You don't need an expensive night tour. Just walk around the property and see them all. My daughter loved that.
