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 reviewAfter almost half a day of having a bad experience in a villa which cant even be given 2 star rating, the management actually did some maintenence work on the nearby villa and put us there for the remaining of our stay which was pleasant. They also gave us a complimentary meal as a sorry which was nice of them. The food there was excellent, especially all the meat dishes. Overall, the property is actually beautiful and has a lot of potential to be 5 star. But I guess sometimes they just stoop below 2 stars due to shoddy maintenence work or maybe some kind of negligence from the properties head of management
Took the jacuzzi villa and faced the following problems: [ ] Swimming pool not functional, came here to swim [ ] Jacuzzi water and spouts was not clean [ ] Too much moss in the filters and spouts [ ] Jacuzzi floor Tiles chipping which can cause cuts [ ] Almost no water pressure in hand shower [ ] No lighting in the shower area [ ] Sliding door stopper broken [ ] Shower blinds rope string not in alignment and broken [ ] Dusty bedside lamp [ ] No latch for any of the doors [ ] Room Entrance door lock is very confusing and inconvenient from usual locks and no one explains it unless asked

Verified reviewThis is the second time I stayed with them. First time was 9 years ago. The property is so beautiful that you will love your stay with the kid and you will not get bored even if you’re not going outside of this property.
Quality of food (if I will compare it over the decade) and villa cleanliness a bit.

Verified reviewThe location is amazing in a lush cardamom plantation. The hotel is like a park and very few rooms at the same time, so a lot of privacy. Staff were very nice as well and the food was excellent
Wifi was very slow signal and only in the rooms. Rooms also need some refurbishment
