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.).

The location could’ve been better. There were 250 steps from the main street to get up to it.

Verified reviewMy reservation is for apartment 2 bedroom but the owner asked to pay 25€ more which i don’t accept that because the apartment has 2 rooms and my reservation was for 2 rooms. He said your reservation is only for one room and you should not stay in another room which is open. I think this is a mistake either from the owner or from booking

Verified reviewThe view from the room.
Spider webs and too many berries dropping on the floor with a huge number of lizards and a tough walk down to the bus station. Narrow staircases, difficult to manoeuver with big luggage bag. Uncooperative staff who are not willing to understand that international travellers typically reach late in the evening. Typical turnaround time on messages was very long. Swiss Panorama pass was given Ono when demanded. Typically hotel staff likes to speak with the guests to understand their travel plan to advise the best but the staff here were rude and did not seem keen to address any issues. Electrical switches not working on the bedside.

Verified reviewthe view and location and cleaness of the upper and flat
the first flat I booked was very old and really really not worth it despite the amazing view so I had to upgrade to the upper flat which seemed to be rennovated very recently and that changed the entire feeling of the stay and I was satisfied with it

Verified reviewWhat an amazing location! The view already looks gorgeous in the pictures but in real life it is just WOW! We loved it and the pool was just perfect! We stayed for a week in the bottom studio and had the luck that other guests were away often so we always had the pool to ourselves :) We were able to do a self check-in and check-out which was very well organised by the owners (who are such lovely people! We met them when they came for some maintanance and you could see they really cared) The shower was really nice and the kitchen although small, has everything you need!
I want to say that these 2 things didn't make our stay any less great but it is something you should be aware about if it is important to you. There is no airconditioning (it can get hot) and second is that the tv is hidden in the mirror, which makes it very small and i have bad eye sight so i couldn't see it well from the bed but we did not need the tv at all! Just wanted to mention in case someone finds watching tv important because this was a suprise 😅

Verified reviewIt was an amazing learning experience. First time when one reviews the site's pictures and see a hot tub and then a sauna to find out that they were charging 60 Euros for 90 minutes in the hot tube and likewise something similar for the sauna! Amazing...I'm surprised they didn't charge for bed sheets and towels :-(. Also, just assume that the unit that you will rent will not have any photographs within their advertised site. Thus, don't expect high ceilings or large windows, one can expect sort of a dingy cave like experience - but that was my fault - should have assumed there would be deception. Like I said, thanks to Otium I learned a lot about how NOT to make a booking and just assume the worst.
It is situated in a residential neighborhood, so be ready for your neighbors pressure washing their balconies, cleaning yards with machinery and just general noise. Also, the units face an open deck where the swimming pool is located, so anyone using the pool is going to be right there in front of you - not much privacy. Although we were lucky and the people below were very nice and only played music and talked loud during the day when we were trying to rest and relax.

We have to climb a really long staircase which is very inconvenient for us, because we are carrying very heavy luggages.
