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.).

United KingdomThe foliage from reception to our door was overgrown and was hard to navigate when wet or in the dark. The room was right next to the stage that has live entertainment sometimes and this goes on until the early hours. We see a lot of live bands and tried to watch the show but we left early as the volume was deafening.
A beautiful location, right on the beach. We had a room overlooking the beach and it was a pleasure to look out the window every morning. The room was huge and comfortable. The staff at the property and the Restaurant next door were lovely.

MyanmarSlightly cramped with the cottages located quite close to each other . Lack of privacy when you sit in the balcony outside. The stage for the live music is too close to the rooms and the loud music from the music system made the cabin room vibrate slightly .

ArmeniaRoom was unfinished. There was no kitchen furniture in the room. Kitchen furniture is in other room.
That is place is at one of the best places at famous Negril Beach. Hotel itself is not a hotel but a group of bungalows. They are very old and bad. There is only two "suites" on the very front line that are new and I stayed at one of these. These suites are good. Other bungalows are very bad.

United StatesAt night when Roots had live music, motorcycles would park right in front of our door and when it was time to leave they would stand around and talk loud and rev their engines. plus the extremely loud music that was coming from who knows where, that played until 3 or 3:30 am almost every night was annoying making it hard to sleep. This was my sixth time visiting Negril and haven't heard that music until this year. I heard a lot of people complaining about it.
