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...).

SwitzerlandIt was very warm in the room during the night without AC and we would have liked the opportunity to use the kitchen.
Alberto and the staff were super friendly, we felt right at home! Breakfast and dinner were really good, thank you Rama. The pool space is very clean and perfect for relaxing, as well as the lounge space upstairs. We loved how quiet and green the space is.

Czech RepublicOur stay was absolutely amazing. You might expect a delicious breakfast prepared according to your preferences. You can chill by the poolside, in your private quiet place, created for relaxation. Since we were the only guests in the whole resort, Alberto was so kind to offer us a better room, which was absolutely marvelous!

Everything. We felt very welcome and comfortable. The house is almost new, has beautiful garden and pool with clean water. Staff is helpful and can arrange contacts for reliable local transport that can take you even to trips to the surrounding area (Marafa+Golden beach daytrip was totally worth it). Breakfast was awesome with tasty fresh fruit. African experience with Italian flavour!

United KingdomAs a couple it was sometimes difficult to make the most of the facilities but if you were with a larger group this would be a perfect place to stay with friends as the pool table and ability to have a few drinks upstairs was nice.
The breakfast was great and the host and staff were incredibly friendly. Very welcoming and accommodating. Location was great in terms of being close to amenities and although it was a short walk to the main road there were always plenty of transport options available if you weren’t comfortable walking the short distance to the busier areas. The Gym, although relatively small, was a great feature and when it got to hot to be in the sun I could quite happily keep myself busy by the pool or in the gym.
