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 location was fantastic. It was a really lovely room although compact had everything we needed including a balcony looking out at the sea. The staff (Tatania), so helpful and friendly.
Unfortunately our air conditioning was not working properly (making a terrible noise). Not possible to fix while we were there. Discount on parking offered which did not seem adequate considering what we had paid for the accommodation.

Verified reviewThe location , the view / balcony were exceptional and there was very little noise from the outside. The bed was comfortable and the whole room and bathroom were clean. The lady managing it was very friendly and helpful - she allowed me to leave my luggage before check in and was available on WhatsApp . There are only a few rooms forming part of this pension which is located on the second floor of a building with other residences / uses . It’s easy walking distance to the old town and Gros. About 20 mins walking from bus station. I would love to stay again .
I would recommend this property but it would have been a 10 if there was black out curtains as the room got very light early and in general wasn’t very dark due to the tv standby and the illumination of the fire exit sign above door . I solved these by bringing an eye mask! So it was fine - some people don’t have sensitivity to sleep! Also the internal sound insulation is such you can hear a few internal sounds but only occasionally when guests are coming in / talking / using bathroom but after that I didn’t hear them and most people were outside or asleep and not in their rooms . So I a minor thing . I also thought a slightly larger fridge would help to be able to buy some milk and store a small bottle of water . The fridge was so tiny , I fit 2 small pieces of fruit . There is a kettle and mugs and two glasses in the bathroom. There was complementary sachets of coffee / tea for the first night only which I thought could be reprovided daily as a bit hard to buy small amounts travelling around . I would still stay here again as the view and location and comfort were amazing , just would be great to have these things too .

Verified reviewLocation fantastic; tiny balcony but beautiful view and enough for 2 chairs. The pension and room are well thought-through and pleasantly designed. It is a nice place to get back to after a long day...

Verified reviewSpectacular location - minutes from the old town, but quiet. The view of the ocean was marvelous. It was lovely to fall asleep with a sea breeze and the sound of the waves. The room had a tiny fridge - just enought for a few cans of cold drinks!

Verified reviewThe views were beautiful, and the room was nice and spacious. Location was so good, just round the corner from everything you needed! Staff were lovely and cleaned the room daily.
Minor point but would have been good to have an additional vanity mirror for getting ready as the one in the wardrobe is slightly awkward, but nothing major!

The toiletries could have been of a higher quality. It was a little expensive.

Walls were very thin, could hear everything in the room next door, not ideal when the occupants were up and showering before 6am
