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 StatesToo many little bugs in the house (ants and others) and kitchen window was dirty. House needed a proper deep clean. Would have been more handy if it had more kitchen cooking and eating items. Beds and pillows could use a upgrade. Not a deal breaker. Still very beautiful over all.
Overall house beautiful inside and out. Hoste was very friendly and attentive.

DenmarkLacking bedside lamps. Living room lacking a nice lamp (only neon light, not very cosy in evening). If you are serious about cooking you may find the pots and pans too old, but the owner is very responsive and will probably get you new stuff if you ask for it. Wish there was a water dispenser like in other hostels/hotels to help cut down on the number of plastic bottles which are not recycled.
Fantastic location on the lake, with private pontoon, chairs, sunbeds, roof-covered terrasse with dining table, and 5 kayaks for full time use. Stunning views from sunrise to sunset. Easy kayak trip to 3 in-lake Cenotes: Negro, Esmeralda, Cocalitos (with stromatolites) and small islands. Walking distance to several restaurants: we loved Chiltepín Marisquillos Bacalar restaurant (and not Balik restaurant!). Excellent shower with hot water and good pressure. Good air conditioning, fridge, microwave, toaster. Comfortable sofas in living room. Owner was very helpful through WhatsApp and promptly provided missing items such as kitchen towels and and food trays when asked. Right next to a beach lagoon club that rents kayaks, SUP and mopeds. Garden equipped with swings and games for kids. if you have small kids (we don’t) watch out for the open staircase and burning hot water in the shower.! Bring your own hand soap, shampoo etc, not provided.

AustraliaThe property was very dirty, with extremely limited kitchen facilities and would not advise planning to eat or cook there. Toilets very smelly and washing machine (very old twin tub style which was pulled apart in pieces when we arrived) not useable even though advertised. We could not get the TV to work when we arrived, and bedding old and dirty and whole place definitely needing a refresh. Front gate broken making access difficult at best and some doors not opening/closing easily. Overall, the house is dirty and many things don’t work and left us disappointed, however host was obliging letting us check in one hour early and were easily contactable with our concerns, however too much of our precious time there was spent dealing with the property shortcomings.
Fabulous location on laguna with kayaks for kids which entertained them all day and spacious grassy yard. Jetty good to relax on.

United Statesthe house and the service have been highly disappointing. There is no maintenance at all, many cupboards are broken, the bunk bed is not safe, as screws are not fixed, bed sheet too small for the bed, flushing not working, it smells very bad and it was not well cleaned. so many bugs and ants in the cooking equipment, not enough cooking equipment for 6 people. there was no single glass, and not enough forks for us. When we have asked for it, they brought us very cheap and random plastic glass and at first did not want to give forks. they wanted to enter the house to prove us there was enough, and as I refused they entered, they gave it asking me to show the 3 forks to a camera in the garden, which made me discovered we were filmed 24/24! so weird and not pleasant, and completely too expensive. our worst stay in the country. could be paradise if they fix their house and put a decent equipment for people to have a nice stay.
the outside site is very nice with a private access to the lagoon and a nice garden

NetherlandsThis place is dirty and in need of a thorough refurbishment and isn’t clean, but here’s a list of the reasons why to avoid this place: - BED BUGS!!! - Mice poop (even found some on the foldable bed) - We had workers showing up the gate late at night unannounced, waking up our baby 3 times by ringing the bell because they needed to get some work done. They didn’t speak any English so we had no idea what was going on. - The Kayaks are in a bad state and the life vests included are covered with bird poo as they are left outside - The pontoon isn’t finished and dangerous as it is full with nails, so it cannot be used - We had to wait for 20 minutes in the soaring heat for the check-in as nobody showed up at the agreed time. - The owner promised to reimburse us for all of this but never did and just stopped communicating.
WARNING AVOID AT ALL COST: INFESTED WITH BEDBUGS. I stayed here for two nights with my family and my parents & children are all covered in horrendous bed bug bites. We also found mice poop all over the house, including in the seems of the bed when we were looking for the bedbugs (and found them!).
