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 reviewThis space is a special place for peace, calm and comfort. Federica and her husband exude hospitality. The kind of hospitality that is genuine, sincere and kind. They offer a lovely, calming space for those who enjoy yoga, energy work, nature, beauty and have a reverence for energy use. The yoga shala is among the most beautiful I have experienced in my world travels. Across the street from the front door is a woman owned and operated coffee shop serving up a cup of love to travelers and gives back to the community.

Verified reviewClean and amazingly quiet- We particularly appreciated the pool in the magic garden, the complementary yoga classes in the morning and the handmade fresh breakfasts everyday. Federica and Roberto are the perfect hosts, they welcomed us with a much needed early check-in and they dedicated great attention to every single detail. Ask Luca, their son, for a surf class, it will be the best way to complete your stay in Samara.

Verified reviewOur flat was really nice, with plenty of space and tastefully decorated. Nice to have both ceiling fans (also in the patio outside) and AC. Nicely working Wi-Fi. Tasty breakfast served on the private patio made of fruit and homemade cookies, porridge or yoghurt. Taking the included yoga class every morning at 7 in the beautiful yoga shala in the garden was the cherry on top. It was just a 5 minutes walk to the beach and the structure is located centrally and close to many supermarkets, restaurants and shops.
You have to walk close to vegetation and on the swimming pool edge to get to the room, which could be tricky for some. Lots of mosquitos in the outdoor area which made it harder for me to enjoy it as I get bitten a lot, but that's a general problem and not only of this hotel.

Verified reviewEverything! The accommodation was superb, clean, spacious and relaxing. Frederika and her husband were great hosts. The pool was lovely, breakfast was delivered and for once it wasn’t rice n beans! ( which of course is nice but fruit, cereal, yogurt and home made cake was a refreshing change) . We attended the yoga class 2 mornings out of 3 which we enjoyed. We cooked 2 nights at home and the kitchen was so well equipped, big fridge freezer too. We saw a family of howlers in the treetops from our window.. fabulous. The town was vibrant, plenty to do and many supermarkets. 3 beaches locally… all tranquil. You must visit!
If I was pushed to say anything I found the bed hard but I am a bit bony!

Verified reviewThe location is excellent and the facilities are relaxing and first class. The early morning Yoga class with Frederica was a lovely way to start the day. Followed by a lovely healthy breakfast to set us up for the days activities. The secure off street parking is a great bonus. Once we arrived we walked every where as the location is very central. The shops, the beach and surrounding activities. In summary a very comfortable stay with a relaxing yoga feel.
Everything was lovely

Verified reviewPerfect stay with kitchen amenities beautiful daily morning yoga practice followed by a delicious fresh breakfast. The apartment is walking distance to all the restaurants and beaches. The hosts are very sweet and willing to help with anything you need.
The apartment is right in town on the main road so it can get a little loud from the traffic.
