How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe bed was very comfortable and large and the view from the balcony was great. We even saw whales travel past. Staff were very friendly. It is about 30 minute walk into the township.
There were no utensils or crockery in the room. This would have been helpful for using the microwave.
Thank you so much, Danielle, for your thoughtful review. We're thrilled you enjoyed the spacious, comfortable bed and the incredible balcony views—spotting whales is always a magical moment! And we're glad our team made you feel welcome. Just to clarify, many guests find the walk into town to be around 15 minutes, though of course it can feel different depending on pace and which part of town you're heading to. As for the crockery and utensils, we do keep a full set—plates, bowls, cutlery, and more—available in the office for all our guests. We're always happy to provide anything you need, so please don’t hesitate to ask next time. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon!

Verified reviewI have stayed here a few times. Lovely hosts. Decent prices Convenient location
I did not read the description about the budget room, but even the heads-up was not enough. Ground floor location. Lots of noise from the floor above. Unbelievably uncomfortable bed. Dreadful mattress. Small double bed. Horrible bed frame we bashed our feet at least eight times. Not enough electrical plugs Tiny bathroom. Hard to enter and close the door. Do they really make 0.5 ply toilet paper. I think I found it! The other rooms are nice. This one should not be rented.
Thank you, Ken, for your continued visits and for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly glad you appreciate our team and the overall hospitality, and we’re sorry to hear that the budget room didn’t meet your expectations this time. While it’s one of our most affordable options, we do try to make its limitations clear in the listing. We understand that comfort and layout can be very personal, and your comments about the bed and bathroom have been noted for review. We always encourage guests to reach out during their stay so we can help make things right. We appreciate your honesty and hope to welcome you again in one of our other rooms that you’ve enjoyed in the past.
