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 place was a nightmare and caused us mental anguish. We had to leave after the first night and look for an alternative place. This took away our time and caused a delay in our planned trip.
The reception was unpleasant. The room was beyond reproach. There was no hot water in the shower. We had to shower with cold water in the morning. The water in the toilet in the bathroom did not work. There is no shower, so the water wetted the toilet and remained standing on the shower floor. The bed was very small for a couple and there was little room to move around the sides of the bed. There was no chair to put a suitcase or bag on, everything was on the floor in a very small room. There were cobwebs on the ceiling. The sheet was exactly the size of the bed and loose. In the end, staying another night was out of the question and we had to leave. After showing the owner the problem with the shower, we demanded the money for the extra night but only received a partial refund.

The shower should have a curtain so that everything doesn't get wet when you shower.

Verified reviewThe views were as good as expected. The cottage is very well equipped with a full kitchen. The bath was very nice in the evening.
The staff could have been nicer when welcoming us even if they didn’t speak English. I believe the place is overpriced for the service provided.

Verified reviewThe mountain views are amazing! The staff is super friendly and they make a very good breakfast. The cottage was big and had a lot of light, with a nice small jacuzzi.
The cottage was not very well equipped for cooking (e.g., pans and pots etc), and the pillows were not so comfy. Otherwise a great place.

Verified reviewThe view when u wake up in the morning was amazing… u will see snow mountain and green mountains as soon as u open your eyes… We rent one bedroom chalet with bathtub view…they provided plates, spoon, gas, kitchen and u can do ur own. And they also provide washing machine. U can do camp fire at night with friends or steak bbq night. The view is fabulous. We are at 1500km height of mountains. George was young, amazing and he guided us on our day trip too…we will definitely miss you and hope to stay again at elli guest house. George, Help us for camp fire and the experience is amazing. His English is so good too…

Verified reviewThe view is wonderful.
There was no card payment they insist to take the money cash, which was inconvenient. There was no wifi for the TV. The power went off for more than two hours. The balcony in front of the hut has no chairs to set,we had to ask for it.

Verified reviewEverything was great from the beautiful views to the spacious and cozy cottage. The garden was well maintained and added a lovely charm to the place. It was peaceful, relaxing.
There was no Wi-Fi during our stay, which made it a bit difficult to stay connected. Also, the breakfast was the same every day, and on one of the mornings, it was even forgotten. Overall, we really enjoyed our time there, but with a few improvements, it could have been even better.
