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):
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.).

United StatesThere was no hot water for showering, unfortunately. The website is very open about the noise level of the trucks and cars that travel on the road nearby so that was expected.
The location was perfect for our needs. The rooms were very clean. The staff was excellent. The darkening curtains worked well.

AustriaWe knew that is was a cheap accommodation/motel and we booked it just for the night, as we took the ferry next morning. We were really surprised about how clean everything was and what we got for that little money. Room size, bathroom (water pressure, size) was great compared to other accommodation we had in costa rica (more expensive, not that clean, etc..)

CanadaNo water in the bathroom sink or shower. The motel host left the property before I could tell him about the no water. Left early at 8am before staff arrived so could not tell them of no water. Shower towel was well used with holes in it. No secured parking, but rather just park in front of room.
It is a budget roadside motel 5 minutes from ferry, so a good badic pick if it's dark already and you don't want to drive at night.

IndiaIt was very difficult to get the water in the shower to right temp, was either too hot or not hot enough. Eventually we found the sweet spot but that was frustrating a bit
The receptionist waited until we arrived from the 8:30 pm fairy. It was less then a 10 minutes ride from the fairy, which was great. The room was very clean

Very close to ferry & evening bioluminescence tour. Very clean, ac was cold, good TV, fairly good wifi, a place to sit outside & eat. Local feeling as opposed to upscale touristy. Across from a small park & our room off the road a little bit. Very very basic as it states in description. Felt safe.

United KingdomReceiving a message before arrival reminding guests to rate the hotel 'as described' is not useful. It is not possible to describe or show all the things travellers are looking for at the point of booking, and still other things - such as noise levels, bed comfort, cleanliness or room temperature - are highly subjective and based on a range of experience. In truth, this is a pretty good hotel for the price, with some of the things we really like to see. The things that were less to our satisfaction were the very low shower pressure; it was decent cold, but not hot. The shower gel holders could have more attention to detail with cleaning and it needs a shelf for toiletries. A separate bin in the room would be good. The furniture and ambience was a bit dated, but I am sure this will be improved over time.
The room was of a decent size and there was furniture to store suitcases on (though no suitcase racks). The room was mostly clean, apart from a few small stains and a bit of dust under beds. Beds were reasonably comfortable and the owners obviously take care to look after the mattresses using covers and protectors. Good and clean pillows. The towels were fresh and soft. The are sockets and USB by the bed. The air conditioning was really good: powerful and quiet enough to not wake us. The room felt secure. WiFi was decent. It is a short 15 minute walk to town and across the road from a bus stop to go to or from the ferry.
