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 regions, 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.).

South AfricaPool was cold and TV wasn't working but was an easy fix. Host said they were in the middle of fixing pool heating. Other than that it was a great stay!
The views from the room were stunning, the pool and bar area was very cool. Enjoyed the feel of it. Breakfast was nice and staff always checked to make sure we had everything we need. Host reccomended some nice things to do and is a very hospitable guy.

Nice, clean, big room with sea views in the distance. The host was very friendly and has some great stories! He also recommended some good places to eat and things to do which was really helpful.

GermanyRainer and his wife are excellent hosts. The B&B is very clean, nice and the pool / bar area is perfect for relaxing and getting in contact with other guests or Rainer. In fact Rainer is the best story teller of the world, simply because he has almost seen the whole world during his travels. We even stayed with him at the pool bar until 3 am talking although the plan was only to grab a welcome drink. Thanks so much for the wonderful time we had with you - we simply can highly recommend this place in all manners!

AustraliaThe room was very hot and the aircon didn't work, it made it very uncomfortable to sleep. We were told to use the fan on the aircon unit, but it just circulated hot air. The safe also did not work. The laminated instructions about staining towels and sheets were a little too aggressive and too much. Woman wear makeup and self tan, when you take your makeup off sometimes you don't get it all off and residual make-up will come off on towels as will self tan. If a lady is already wearing self tan when she arrives, what do you expect her to do, drip dry? I also have red dyed hair and when it gets damp (like from sweating when the room is too hot) it does bleed but I have personally never had an issue getting these marks out of my towels and linen by using the right products. This did make me a little paranoid and I bought my own pillow cases to avoid receiving a fine. It is okay to not have white linen and white towels, the world has moved on from these practices and if the hotel is going to be so pedantic about such things they should consider different linen and towel colours. The German windows took getting used to and were a little annoying, in the beginning too.
Great location. The staff and owners were very friendly and helpful. Excellent client service Very clean

SingaporeNothing. It was perfect for my stay !
I twice extended my stay at LaLaPanzi for a total of 8 days from 11th to 19th Oct. Tucked above the hills of a very quiet residential estate, it is a stone throw away the town's centre, restaurants, gas and convenience stores. There is also micro-brewery called Barrington's with a posh outdoor and indoor setting under 10 minutes walk if you choose not to drive. My room was very spacious, always spotlessly clean. Each room enjoys a panoramic view towards the bay. Breakfast was superb and it was something I always look forward to every morning :-) Most importantly, it is always the people who runs a guesthouse that matters. Henrietta / Rainer and especially the housekeeping and kitchen staff trio led by Cleopatra made me so very comfortable daily; from a hearty breakfast to a nicely clean up room each end when I return from my activities. They were all so very friendly and accommodating :-) Thank you everyone for making me feel so homely away from home ! I was frankly sad to leave. Will most definitely come back to LaLa Panzi in my next return trip to P.Bay ! (Eric - Singapore)

United KingdomThe kitchenette appears to be well equiped. But it is not well designed. It has no draining board. It would be helpful to have some storage shelves above the sink/counter. The huge tilt window was difficult to operate. A simple sliding lockable panel would be easier to use.
We were upgraded to a spacious room with a view. Excellent breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.
