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 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 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.).

United KingdomThe only drawback is the fact the beach in front of the property is a dedicated dog beach so if the windows are open early in the morning the dogs barking on the beach or in the park is a bit noisy. No negatives to the property or hosting though - we loved every minute.
Perfect location with incredible sea view from the large picture patio windows. A real home from home with everything you need provided by the lovely hosts Val and Roger. With private entry to the beach from the bottom of the car park which has a dedicated parking space for the room. It is a room in the home of the hosts so has a lovely warm and welcoming feel to it, and they can’t do enough for their guests - servicing the room every day and providing a breakfast basket for a DIY breakfast in your own time, but leaving you to enjoy your stay in peace unless you need anything. The location is great with shops and restaurants all within walking distance.

United KingdomThe one thing I would say was a bit of an issue was the hill that forms part of the drive way to their parking space. It made me a bit nervous to drive down and then back up again when we went out the next day as it has a tight left hand turn from the main road and then a tight right hand turn, with only a little mirror to see if anything is coming up the hill. It is a bit sketchy but you get used to it after a couple of times going up and down it. So this isn't a complaint by any means, it is more just to warn others, like Val does to be fair to her, that the drive way is a bit tight and steep, so take it slowly and you'll be fine.
The location was stunning. Every morning waking up to that beautiful view of the sea has made me want to live by the coast some time in the future for sure. The couple who owned the place we stayed in were lovely. In Val and Roger we could not of asked for better people to be around while on holiday. Their home was clean, tidy, easily accessible with safe off road parking, and it had that gorgeous view of the sea as mentioned before. Val did everything she could to make our stay a comfortable and interesting one. She gave us a breakfast basket and fresh milk, with OJ and bottled water every morning, and tea/coffee was always available in our room as well.

United KingdomThe drive in can be a little tricky at times, with it being quite steep and narrow, but other than that, nothing!
Loved it all - the hosts, the location, the view, the sound of the ocean, and even the little breakfast hamper. Val and Roger clearly care about their guests and their holiday experiences, and it really did just feel like a home away from home. It seems attention to every little detail has been made - usb ports at practically every point of the room, breakfast hamper and towels replenished every day without question, plentiful storage space and mini fridge with water and juice. Val was also very considerate of me being vegan and offered me various alternatives of her usual hamper essentials. The bed was delightful - not too hard and not too soft - and dressed with quality bedding. The room was clean and spacious and also remained lovely and cool with the help of the ceiling fan right above the bed, which we thoroughly enjoyed during our night's sleep. There are multiple lovely beaches and towns to visit nearby and are all easily accessible with the bus station only a few minutes walk away, if desired. This was our first holiday as a couple and we could not be happier with the experience we have had here. So, big thank you to Val and Roger. Hope to see you again!
