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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomThe location was great. Close walk to the secret beach, whale watching, turtle bay and great restaurants. The host was amazing, couldn’t be more flexible with check in check out. Breakfast was exceptional with a lovely view into the Forrest, we sat and enjoyed watching squirrels, peacocks and parrots in the trees each morning. Price was extremely reasonable for such a clean and comfortable room with AC. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

AustraliaEverything about the property and owners was great. Only thing to note is if you are coming back at night, it is located down an unlit driveway surrounded by trees so bring a torch!
Sethun house is a gem of a guesthouse. It's situated in a peaceful setting and the rooms are immaculate. Breakfast was delicious and eating it on the little balcony each morning was a lovely start to the day.

Perfect, friendly and responsive host and family. Delicious breakfast on the balcony, different each day. Great location, a few minutes walk from the beach and the town. Air conditioning worked well and cupboard lockable for valuables. Mosquito net worked well. Cold shower with additional shower for hot water.

Comfortable bed; hot shower; fridge outside the room and 2 balconies to use in the room we stayed in. Very nice breakfasts too..excellent value for money. We would recommend it and will hopefully stay again.

United KingdomWe stayed 3 nigthts and loved it! Really comfy family room, spotlessly clean, plenty of space. There was good aircon, mosquito nets, and fan and a well functioning fridge too. All the facilities were brilliant. breakfast overlooking the green trees, on the balcony was delicious. The family were all very warm and welcoming and helped us with everything. It's also very close to the local Dagoba. Also should say it's 5 minutes walk from the beach! we would highly recommend Sethun House!

United KingdomThis is more just info: Rooms are not huge but it's due to the big 4 poster beds with great net coverage, which are super comfy...luggage can fit under the big bed
Local family run, like a homestay Whilst the balcony is small, you have access to a communal area & balcony for breakfast amd also fridge, kettle The family look after you and you only need to ask if you need their help with things like laundry, trips etc Located close to the main road and beach, may need your phone/torch for the little alley to their place. You'll likely hear and see the frogs at night and if you're lucky the big monitor lizards in the day
