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 reviewLocation and views cannot be beat. Home was big, clean, and very comfortable.
A bit expensive, but I’d definitely consider staying here again with my family.

Verified reviewThe location is very convenient and easy to access. Facilities & Environment The room is spacious, and the areas for relaxing, gathering, and cooking are all generously sized. The equipment is also fully functional and well-equipped. The view from the apartment is stunning—absolutely flawless. Value for Money Excellent value for money—⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
Showering consecutively is not recommended as the hot water supply may not be consistent. The towels did not feel very clean, and I hope the cleaning process can be improved. It would be helpful to have a signboard at the entrance to make it easier to locate the apartment.

Verified reviewIt provided us with a comfortable space to rest during our trip, and also allowed us to cook the food we like to eat. And we could enjoy a beautiful view of the ocean.
If we had to mention a downside, it would be that the furnishings are a bit outdated. The room’s power switches and outlets could use an upgrade for better convenience.

Verified reviewBased on the location, the facilities and the view giving this property a 10/10 would really be understating it. I would give a 12/10 if I could. The pictures shared by the host don't do justice to the property and location at all.

Verified reviewWe loved this property in every sense: location is superb overlooking the sea, totally private & quiet. The bungalow is very spacious, clean, & modern. The owner provided all essential necessities for people traveling from place to place - toilet rolls, beautiful liquid soaps, condiments, etc. They were also very accommodating.
There was nothing we did not like. This property is superb, luxurious! Well done! 👏👏👏

Verified reviewThis property is excellent! pictures you see doesn’t really show real picture. 1st of all house is huge!! 2 families or big group will feel very comfortable! view from the kitchen and majority of rooms are spectacular! Kitchen have everything you need! There is storage with extra needed staff like to wash your clothes. There is dishwasher! Even ice was in the fridge! Jacuzzi was great - at some point felt quite warm. There are 2 bathrooms, one even have sauna 😁😁😁 Around the area there are places where you can have short walk - to rest after day of heavy hiking. we would love to come back and stay for much longer time! Outside real nature - not only ocean, but birds flying and singing all day!
Bed sheets - couldn’t understand if they are used or not ironed ?! same reflection was from my friend. last day we didn’t know where to throw out bottles! for normal garbage all understandable!

Verified reviewThe pictures do not do this property justice. It is very spacious and easily accommodates a large group. It is accessible to a wonderful walking trail and has scenery all around it that leaves you speechless.
there were minor issues with the readiness of the hot tub but otherwise everything was well stated and logical
