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 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.).

ItalyOn this planet, there does not exist a more comfortable bed. The best sleeps in years. The location is stunning and the hotel is very beautiful. I loved the hammock with a sea view. The food was good too. They have just opened and while I was there, there was a national power cut and some classy african issues. They dealt with all of it brilliantly, it was remarkable how they never stopped smiling and being adorably kind throughout all this. Congrats and i wish you all the best for the future. I hope i can come back soon.

GermanyWe had no hot water (though there should be) and despite us mentioning it, it was not repaired during our stay (we would have expected better service at this price level). Furthermore water always spilled out of the shower when bathing, leaving the bathroom halfway flooded. (Too) Many instagramers taking endless fotoshoots. No alcohol is served, but you can buy your own booze and consume.
Amazing view and design Food was most pricy here (vs 4 other hotels we stayed in), but food quality was outstanding and honestly much better than in all other places. Consistency of food could improve, we ordered two times the same on two different dates but the taste and prep were different (apparently different chefs on the two days) Great scenery and beach Very nice staff

United KingdomRestaurant: DRY hotel. no alcohol served here. cab into town (USD 20) to bring alcohol in but don’t expect anything from restaurant.hotel is remote. Can’t walk to shops.They do not serve soft drinks like Diet Coke. Expect fresh juices or coconut water only. Extremely slow service (1hr min wait). staff don’t tend to you immediately either. Meals don’t arrive together (even if same dish), 3 out of 4 dishes constantly came out.Pool snacks - slow. Ordered 2 portions fries, took two hours. Didn’t come out together. Carelessness for food allergies. Rooms: No mosquitos nets Expect a wet room bathroom. shower leaks and floods bathroom. You will be brushing your teeth by the sink whilst standing in a pool of water. I was particularly worried about this as my parents were staying and were at risk of a slip/fall. I did make my concerns clear to the front desk but nothing done. fridge is warm Lack of hooks no turndown service/room spraying Very inconsistent housekeeping. Our first few days room got cleaned but then stopped. told that this was because i had to hand my key into reception each morning. Surprising as I hadn’t done this before. no hair dryer in rooms. only one at reception Only 1 water glass to share in bathroom No bathroom door! hotel was empty during our stay so expected overall better experience. we informed hotel online AND in person that my partner and I had just got engaged. This went completely unnoticed. Bad experience in asking to pay for an upgraded room. Each day we asked, told to come back later. This occurred over two days and on the third day, we were told upgrade is 1 night only. Complained to manager who said we should have told her sooner and this is wrong. Frequent feeling where we felt like we were in the wrong. Check all your bills! room charge on checkout was higher than booked online. Taxi price at reception fluctuated daily (should be USD50!) so beware of this as it’s shouldn’t. Check restaurant receipts too diligently. Overcharged.
Modern appliances, clean room and aesthetically pleasing. The restaurant food was delicious and very healthy. The menu is changed every 3 days and they only serve fresh seafood/fish or vegetarian - no meat. Facilities Whilst we arrived in the evening, we did not receive a tour of the property or welcome drinks. We found out ourselves that there is a hidden upstairs space currently unused where you can do your own yoga and a hidden spa (this was not shown to us so came as a pleasant surprise). We also found out a few days in that there are free kayaks and water bikes - no paddle boards. A kind couple told us there is a free sunset sail boat trip too but each time they went to sign up, another couple clashed so I don’t think they ever actually had any luck with this. The Wifi was stronger in our room than by the pool or in the restaurant. I wouldn’t be able to work here using it however. Expect frequent power cuts, but hotel has a generator.
