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.).

SpainThe worst part was meeting John at the hotel reception. He was our guide for two days and it couldn't have been worse. He didn't do his job since he didn't explain practically anything to us. Better not trust him. We told him that we did not want his guide or driver services for any more days and he would not accept No for an answer. It has been a nightmare meeting him.

SingaporeOnly complaint is that I wish the rooms had fans, it was cool enough that it was not a problem during our stay, but the rooms were a bit warm during the day. They might have had them on request but we did not ask.
Great Location, comfortable rooms, and helpful staff. Food at the restaurant was also delicious. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

United KingdomWorth checking the room has an electricity socket if you’ll be needing one!
The staff were amazingly helpful … they let us check in early (4.30am!!!) and let us come back (after we’d left), to use one of their rooms to shower, after hiking … at no extra charge! SO kind! The rooms were basic, but adequate and excellent value for money! Very pretty hotel and excellent views!

AustraliaYou could hear the very loud crow of roosters traffic from the nearby main road very early in the morning. The café took a very long time to prepare the food — although I was very happy to wait because it was absolutely delicious and by far the best J have had during my travels in Indonesia.
The property was exceptionally clean and tidy, in a peaceful setting with a picturesque outlook. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomNow for the ‘buts’: - Wi-Fi only works in the reception area. - Food takes a long time to arrive. Not great if others are ordering at a similar time. To get around this, the hack is to pre-order in advance and tell them what time you want it. - Our toilet broke twice. Quickly fixed but still inconvenient. - Although the temperature drops a bit overnight, it’s still far too hot in a room without AC or a fan. No conducive to a good night’s sleep. - It seems the biggest complaint, the lack of hot water, is indeed an issue. Out of six showers, two were warm (but not hot), three cold and one lukewarm. We had to ask staff twice to sort it out.
After reading some previous guests’ comments, I was still unsure what to expect from our three night stay when we arrived. Overall, it was an extremely positive experience. It’s a unique, very atmospheric property in the middle of town. The staff were nice and the food was tasty. The gardens are lovely to relax in with a beer after a long day exploring.

SwedenThe roosters and dogs having a hullabaloo. They wake you up around five.
I love this place! Rooms are good size and clean, facing mountains and greenery. The staff is friendly and helpful. The best is that there’s a really nice and quiet common area for just hanging around and eating at the restaurant, and the food is really superb! It takes a while to get, but it is so good! I also really liked the driver they hooked me up with. He was great value and very good at showing us all sorts of interesting places. No need to figure it out beforehand, he can fix it for you. We had him four days, the last day being a beautiful walk in the mountains, and the other days visiting all those caves, baby trees, a funeral party etc. The driver lived next door and is called Papa Amel. Try to get him!
