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.).

CanadaThe only thing I would change would probably be the water pressure in the shower.
The location is amazing with a private dock directly on the lake. The staff was also so nice !! They were helpful and friendly.

United KingdomThe bathroom is away from the bedroom and the doors to the toilets are a bit tricky to close and lock, and there are lots of rules like where to keep your bag.
I really liked this hostel, one of my favourites in Mexico, right on the water, staff organised a private boat for me and some of the other guests. Near to all the bars and restaurants and kitchen was useable.

NetherlandsI booked this place because they have their own private pier on the lake. It was nice to wake up and watch the sunrise over the lake, or just go for a swim whenever you want or chat with fellow travelers while dipping your feet in the water.

ReunionLockers are a bit far away from the dorm. On the pictures the dorm seems to be 4 people and there is no separation in between beds. but it is for 8 people. But I slept very well as people were all respectful and quiet and the dorm with the mermaid pictures is ideally situated. No hot showers but it is quite hot so it is fine.
I loved the pontoon, the vegetation around the place. The hammocks, The personal were really nice, and it is a quiet place. I could have stay longer.

CanadaUgh the beds! So hard with a pillow like a hard sandbag. The facilities could use some attention ... some lockers were broken and the bathroom doors don't fully close leaving a gap for someone to see in.
Location right on the lagoon was awesome. Shaded hammocks and sun loungers. At the end of town but still less than 15min Into centre.

DenmarkThey charge for change of towels. It would also be nice with a mirror in the room, as we only had the one in the bathroom.
They have a privat pier. If you stay here, do yourself a favor and wake up early to see the amazing sunrise from the hammocks. The private rooms are quite simple, but have what you need. Good value for money.

CanadaAir condition only begins at 11h at night, curtains missing in dorm and should be thicker because too many big lights outside to sleep well, hot water is turn-off at night and sometimes turn on back only around 10-11h am, they don’t offer breakfast anymore, there is little rocks path everywhere that makes it impossible to walk barefoot, the toilet is far from the dorms.
Good location directly on the lagoon with water sports rentals, the dorm in front of lagoon is big and airy, windows all around to enjoy the view, there’s a kind of lounge spot near the kitchen with comfy adirondac chairs, the wifi is good but only in the front part, staff is friendly, showers and toilets are clean, you can also camp.

United KingdomOne of the reception lady was really rude and unfriendly. The rooms were a bit dirty and the AC only came on at certain times. It was a bit dark in the garden view room as well. There was a cockroach at one point on one of the beds.. and the toilet was interesting, and shower was cold the whole time I was there. I guess at least the weather was warm...
The location was really nice with the private access to the lagoon. The views in the morning were amazing at sunrise. Saw a ton of stars at night and a lot of shooting stars as well.
