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.).

IrelandIf there were some more comfortable seats for chilling out that isn't in the sun Beds are comfortable but similar to what I imagine being in a prison cell.
Lovely location on the lake with easy access for swimming. Room and bathroom was decent. Air con, fans, windows opened. Nice staff, not far to go to main square for restaurants.

United Kingdomstayed in a private room and bed wasn’t very comfy I also found many other properties cheaper but the lake front advantage is worth the extra cost
so friendly, daily activities are really fun! Common areas are always clean and kitchen well equipped. It makes such a difference being on the lagoon front too huge advantage

United StatesThe smell outside room 12 was pungent. The bathroom floor was always wet and toilet sometimes hard to flush. I sometimes felt like I was having to bother restaurant/bar staff to order food or pay the check. Not much actual “service”. I wish the dock at lounge chairs to make it absolutely perfect!
The VIBE! Santiago at the front desk was amazing! I arrived so early on a night bus and the overnight security kindly let me in and gave me a cup a coffee. I got to watch the sunrise and enjoy the water before checkin. The rooms had AC in the evening. I loved the sunset kayak tour we did with David and the sunrise yoga. The property has good areas for lounging and the access to the lagoon is 100.

GermanyBathroom has some mold. Dock to access the water was under construction when I was there but I think when it is finished it is a nice dock to access the water. Music at the bar was for me sometimes too loud during the day.
Amazing location, good kitchen, nice that you can book all tours in the hostel. Nice activities. Very clean!

CanadaIf you stay in the dorms and you have one of the beds farther away from the AC, you are gonna be hot at night. The air circulation is not optimal, even with fans. In my room, the AC unit was facing the bathroom (!!!) and people left the door open, so the air was poorly distributed. The privacy curtains could be way better! The refrigerator is too small for the amount of guests. I thought neon face painting would be provided to party goers on Wednesday :(
The view!!! and direct access to the lagoon Premises are clean The food is AMAZING Close to restaurants and bars Water sports rentals directly on site (and discounted prices for guests) Various activities offered (cooking, salsa dancing, karaoke, huge neon party on Wednesdays, etc.) The music at night is fire! Side note: expect to pay an additional 3% for all transactions made with a card

NetherlandsThere was music at the bar during the day and louder music at night. For me personally that’s unnecessary, as I’m looking for a bit more peace and calm. It was nothing too crazy though and I didn’t have any problems with it in my room.
The location is beautiful and unique, with a direct view on the lagoon. The facilities are good too, there is a bar with sunbeds and a kitchen you can use. Dorm room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The staff is super nice - big shout out to Santi, he was very helpful in case of questions or if you just wanted to have a nice chat :)
