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.).

A nice experience with plenty of spectacular photos from the premises, including views and breakfasts with a sunrise. The boat trip to Kiwengwa reef added to our relaxing and ambient stay.

ItalyThe choice was made because we like to discover new dishes and tastes in different countries, and it was a top place for the photos found on social media. The restaurant is definitely the best we had on our route in Zanzibar - bravo to the chef and the entire team. All dishes exceeded our expectations - delicious, fresh ingredients, large portions, amazing decorations. Everything else about the hotel was not something unique - just good and comfortable with an ocean view. So, I'm giving my 10 points to the kitchen.

New ZealandWe stayed at the hotel in December 2023 and were very pleased. It's a lovely, cozy, and atmospheric place; the sound of the ocean during high tide could be heard both in the restaurant and in the room, giving a sense of unity with nature. The food was top-notch (I'll share a couple of photos). Funny animals visited us at the restaurant's lounge area at night. The room was spacious, clean, and had an ocean view. The water from the tap was slightly salty due to the proximity to the ocean, but the skin felt very soft after a shower, so it wasn't a problem. During low tide, we recommend strolling along the shore – it's not too hot because of the wind; don't forget sunscreen.

United KingdomOne of the excursions we booked (kiwengwa reef tour) wasn’t quite as we expected. The water was really shallow and so you were really close to thousands of sea urchins and we weren’t warned about these at all. It felt like the guide didn’t totally know what he was doing.
Z-lodge is a beautiful wee oasis that we spent half of our honeymoon at. The sea view is incredible, excursions were easy to book, food was great and the pool was really clean. The staff were very helpful, we used the laundry which was quick and clean and taxi service was always on time.

Polandwe arrived late in the evening when the restaurant was already closing, but still we got some nice cakes and tea- Napoleon cake was delicious and not over-sweeten as I like. Morning was wonderful and sunny. Nice breakfast buffet and a-la carte choice of eggs. Rain in the afternoon we were not expecting, but there was a great lounge place right on the pier to relax and read a book. Price and services were fare - no complaints.
