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 reviewVery clean rooms, clean sheets and towels. There's a semi automatic washing machine in the property, so you can wash your clothes. The place is a calm location, so you can sleep well. The owner is nice. Good internet.
I didn't like the location - it's a little far from a beach.

Verified reviewNice comfortable bed and good aircon and overall clean. Big fridge and bonus washing machine in the kitchen that we could use. Location is very good, opposite the Hindu temple and we liked the music that we could hear coming from the temple and my partner loved being next to the jucy cafe as they have a one meal only menu kitchen. Very authentic and cheap- popular with the locals.
Bit pricey but worth it for the central location. Would have loved a clean towel after a couple of days.
Thanks., 🙏

Verified reviewThe location is great, close to the cliff enough to walk over there and with local eateries/shops nearby! The beds are comfortable and everything was clean. The owner is extremely nice and helpful - he organised for us a kayaking tour to mangrove island, renting a scooter and he quite literally helped us with our laundry (there is a washing machine)! My husband had to work and internet was fast and reliable for video calls, too.
Thanks 🙏

Verified reviewThis is a neat and tidy place. We liked the cleanliness of the room and the plugs and reading lights either side of the bed make it very homely. It’s only a few hundred metres from the cliff so easy to reach the beach and there is a wine/beer selling place 100y down the road too. We liked that you could use the kitchen and the fridge was really cold.
Not much but free tea and coffee would be nice (same as elsewhere) and a mosquito repellent in the room would ensure you don’t get bitten in the night. Shame they don’t offer breakfast but I guess you can make it yourself.
Thanks a lot.🙏
