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 reviewFabulous location and extremely quiet. Beautifully situated Scandinavian simplicity in rooms that could be a bit larger
Property itself great

Verified reviewLocation was lovely
Design of room was odd. Plug ins and switches in weird places. It was an expensive place to stay, so I’d have thought the quality of toilet paper and tissues would not have been so cheap. No one there to check us out.

Verified reviewA perfect blend of luxury hospitality, healing opportunities, and access to nature. The therapeutic potential here is amazing. Gillian and Richard have built something singular and remarkable. Come with an open mind and spirit, and be rewarded beyond words.
Everything was perfect during my visit. The following is an observation, not a complaint. Pleasant and friendly dogs roam freely on the resort property on a daily basis. This can pose minor challenges for owners of dogs reactive toward other dogs. The resort management will do everything possible to accommodate everyone. At times you may see a need to temporarily confine your reactive dog.
Thanks so much for this lovely review. Yes, we're very dog-friendly and do our best to make sure balance is maintained between all our visitors at all times, both two and four legged!! Come stay with us again. Janet & the Sentinel team

Verified reviewThe Sentinel is operated by the kindest, most humble staff you could ask for. The location is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and impeccably clean rooms. No matter how many nights you book, you’ll wish you had stayed longer. We love this place so much, we’ve chosen it as our wedding venue and the staff have been incredibly helpful and accommodating every step of the way.
WOW!! We love you as much as you love us!! YES! The wedding will be so fantastic. Thank you for this incredible review. Janet and The Sentinel team

Verified reviewSuch a tranquil, beautiful property overlooking the lake with beach access. Very clean, friendly the lovely breakfast made with fresh produce from there garden

Verified reviewIf you are looking for a place to get away from the crowds and enjoy some nature, the Sentinel would be an excellent choice. We didn't want to stay in an ordinary hotel room, so chose the Sentinel because it was right on the lake, with beautiful natural surroundings! The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Amazing breakfast the next day for $25.
We didn't realize that we needed to arrive before 5 pm in the evening. I don't remember the manager or guest services mentioning this to us.

Verified reviewI got wonderful and sincere welcome, my room was painstakingly prepared, the view, the sauna where stellar, and breakfast was outstanding. This is a special place run by with special people. My stress balloon was immediately deflated up one arrival. The vibe is so calm, and peaceful. The owner and all staff are chill and exceedingly friendly. These people truly care about their guests. I could not have had a better experience. World class. Can you get any better? I don’t think so.
Dear Bill, Thank you for this remarkable review!! We loved meeting you, and can't wait to have you here again!! You're a total sweetheart!! Have a terrific rest of your summer. Love from all of us. The Sentinel team
