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.).

BulgariaWi-fi was not very good, but it's not a bad from the owner, but the issue of the whole village
It was a nice pleasure to be guests of Diana! She was helping us from the very first of our steps in Mulu till departure. Answering all the questions, transport to and from the park, making for us tasty breakfast. The house is not a luxury property, but it contains all the necessities for travelers.

AustraliaThe Homestay is still in the making & that you can’t see in the photos. However it also represents the poverty of this area where people still have a very basic happy life. Transport & communication is definitely a problem & needs improvement. Diana is working on it 😀
Diana‘s Homestay is a nice little family business & everyone is very caring & friendly. Great for a solo traveler to meet likeminded people & having a great chat. I felt safe & the food was absolutely delicious. Drinks were very reasonable priced.

ArgentinaExcept for one day, there was no water in the head shower even during the hours where the electric was on (aprox 6pm to 6am), so one had to shower filling up a bucket with the regular tap, and water was cold. It was Ok though for 2 days and it was part of the experience of living like the locals, in a very simple way.
Diana was very welcoming, helpful, and cooked the most tasty and abundant meals I've had in a while.

United Kingdomit would be great if they had somewhere to sit outside near the river. any negative reviews about Diana can only be about false expectations of a Homestay. This was exactly as we expected and very chilled. there is some building work now until may 2023 (they say) but really it didn’t disturb as stopped by 5pm.
great location on (swimmable) river bend. it is a Homestay… and Diana is brilliant. home cooked food is superb. Desmond is a park guide and recommend his tours.

SloveniaNothing really; we had realistic expectations about staying at a homestay.
Our room was spacious and clean, and Diana is a great host and an excellent cook; if you're planning to spend the days at the park (which I assume most guests are) this is all you need. Overall, were very happy with our stay.

And then there was Diana’s cooking which is the best in the area bar none! highly recommend! Diana was also extremely helpful in sorting out trips to the park and picking us up even when it was late.
