Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

NetherlandsOnly small maintenance is required; some in the bathroom, or the floor of the bedroom. But nothing as large it can affect the comfort of your stay!
The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Its a very peaceful place with lots of space and a quiet and safe surrounding, yet greatly located near all visit-worthy parts of the city. The room was very comfortable and clean. And breakfast was delicious too!

SpainOur reservation included breakfast, but they said it was not included because we are booking.com "genius" and we had 15% discount. We decided this place because of that so it wasn't fair, althought it must be said that it was very cheap. We asked to let the backpacks in the house during the day after check out and take them later, and they said no. It is a room inside a family house where the owners live, so you feel in someone else's space.
The place is in a quiet neighnourhood not far from the lake, Kilimani, it is clean, spacious and tidy.

CanadaStaff forgot to put toilet papers and soap. Breakfast: Having fried eggs almost every morning. We would appreciate more variability. Sometimes the TV was too loud and the baby was screaming in the early morning. A mini fridge available in the room would have been appreciated to feel more comfortable to take our drinks instead of sharing a mini fridge in common. 2 set of key will be appreciated instead of only one for a couple. A small discount would have been appreciated for the lunch meals not taken and lack of toilet paper and soap.
Great location. Close to Victoria Lake and touristic places and restaurants. Hidden and private place. Very nice and clear house. Staff are working hard to make it clean. We felt at home. Very sweet owner. It was good to be with her family and know her. Such a blessing! Warm, secure and quiet place. Possibility to eat there for the dinners and suppers. Delicious food served. We highly recommend this place.

GreeceBookings showed four bedrooms. The third bedroom was to be with bunkbeds, though they used air mattresses. Despite their nice presentation, I expected more than an air mattress in a house at this price and of this quality. The fourth bedroom was to be with a double bed. Rather, the room was the enclosed back porch with a futon and only a futon. The first two rooms were excellent, but the third and fourth rooms were not what was shown on the site. Spoiled the stay for one of three visitors.
Beautiful house, easy to find neighborhood location, simply but comfortably furnished (though see comments about the third and fourth bedrooms), well stocked. I would definitely stay again if I didn't need the third or fourth bedroom, or if I was staying with children.
