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.).

SingaporeWhilst the interior of the villa is pleasantly modern and clean, one major concern is that there are HUGE gaps in the railings of the staircase which make it extremely dangerous for children. A child might accidentally lean on the railing, and easily fall down from the 2nd storey through the gap - which would be unthinkable. As a temporary measure, we tied some string across the railing and had to constantly warn and monitor all the children not to go near the staircase, which definitely added much anxiety during our stay. In addition, we were disappointed with the excess electricity charge. We were given 70 kWh/night for 14 of us in total. We switched off everything whenever we left the villa (which is probably about half the time of our stay), did not do any heavy cooking at all, and only switched on the aircon for the rooms when sleeping at night. (FYI there’s only fans in the living room, no aircon). We believe this is very reasonable usage and yet at the end of our 4nights stay, we were charged an additional of 2106baht. As such, the quota given in the first place seems to be rather low, thus do be mindful of the potential additional charges even with normal usage. Lastly, with regards to check-in, the villa manager asked for our arrival time and we informed that after landing in Phuket airport, we will be having our lunch first before heading over, and expect to arrive approx 1-2pm. However on that day itself, there were also hiccups in the collection of our rental car and in the end we arrived at 3pm. Elizabeth was not pleased that we were late and made her point known via WhatsApp and even wanted to charge us 1000baht for late arrival. We thought the check in time is just an estimate and did not appreciate being told off for being late, especially since we are on vacation. FYI to future guests to be mindful of advising on your arrival timing at the villa.
Villa Ginborn offers a great view and its infinity pool is one of the key highlights. Overall, the villa is well maintained and sufficiently spacious for our group size of 10 adults + 4 children. The villa was stocked with some complimentary cold drinks, snacks and fruits upon our arrival which was a nice touch. Also, communication with the owner is great. Pia is very responsive and helpful, and she also gave very clear directions on its location and we had no problem finding it at all.

QatarNot very child friendly where the pool was concerned as there was no barrier round the pool for safety.
Nothing to even complain about. Everything was just perfect. Couldn't ask for anymore. Very kind and accommodating host and even their staff. Plenty of space and room around and very clean linen along with a every kitchen equipment required for home cooking. Have no complaints at all. A mini mart just a stones throw away and fantastic massage parlour as well.
