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.).

Netherlands- The beds were very squeaky and shaky, getting up in the bunks was quite tricky - Fridge space was limited, but I think that depends on your roommates
+ The staff was super nice and hard-working, subsequently the guesthouse was clean and organized + The location is central and convenient, close to the beaches, bars, and shops + The guesthouse is both social but also quiet at night, so you can meet people and have a good night's sleep + The room had loads of storage for all travelers and you could lock your belongings + The host was very accommodating and would check in with me during the stay

BelgiumReally cosy place to stay. In the rooms you have a locker and a drawer so you can unpack a bit which was a plus for me after living weeks out of a bag! Downstairs you have a nice big space that is living room/dining room/kitchen. There is also a coworking space available if you are working or studying. Terrace in front and behind the house. Great location, 2 minutes from the beach and close to Baleal. I felt really at home here and would definitely stay again!

PolandI had a wonderful stay! Amazing staff greeting you with a smile in the morning was like seeing another sunrise. The scent of coffee in the kitchen. Sharing the coffee, the meals, the beers, the thoughts, the moments, the waves. All of which are travelling surfer dreams. Surfed some of my best waves and seen some of most jaw-dropping sunsets here, just 3-5 mins from the house (GiGi beach). The owner is a kind soul and always helpful. It's already my seventh time in Baleal Guesthouse, and coming here feels like visiting a friends house. That's the vibe, all of the guests turn from strangers to friends in the matter of days (or sunsets :))). Knowing Baleal inside and out I cannot recommend a better place to stay and hang out. See you next year!

FinlandSome small fixes could be done. 2/3 showers were missing a shower holder and the washing machine was broken.
The vibe at the hostel was very nice and cozy. I liked how organized things were: you got your own shelf from the fridge and a container for dry food. The curtain in the bed is a big plus! There is also a good surf beach close by.

The rooms were cute and I really liked the atmosphere of the guesthouse. Also it was so close to the Surfshop. I really want to come back :)
