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 reviewGorgeous setting right by shallow bay. Lovely bungalows. Good food at cheap onsite restaurant. Staff helped with everything - including boating over a bday cake for us. Very close to ferry port. Amazing. Bungalow basic but expected for the price.

Verified reviewThe venue has a lovely rustic charm, and the staff are super friendly. We had a sea view and rooms were clean. We paid 18$ per night, which is fair value for a simple backpacker style room.
The restaurant ran out of stock of many basics such as fruits, bread, etc. on day two. There are also a number of minor broken items. For example, the 1 step into the ocean is missing, which will take 15 minutes to fix or broken loungers lying on the deck or mildew on the bathroom walls which just needs a wipe.

Verified reviewIt was a lovely place, with very nice receptionists and workers.
There was only a fan for AC and quite often was disturbed by the animals living outside, with a rat actually coming into our room! But that’s to be expected on a remote island I guess! It was also a bit of a walk to a more lively part of the beach but that’s fine if you want a relaxing stay.
thank you for your lovely reviews. have a good trip and safe travels 🙏

Verified reviewDan, the owner/operator/manager took care of all my needs. He went out of his way to accommodate my special requirements. He also arranged to and fro transfers from the airport/ferry terminal/ferry to island pier and the hotel / guest house. The location is excellent with fantastic views of the beach and bay. The staff at the bar and restaurant, particularly Gabriel from Italy were excellent. Excellent conversations with both Dan and Gabriel. If you want peace and quiet, go to the beach and/or just chill on a hammock in the balcony of your little bungalow/hut or out by the beach, forget all your worries for the interim, then this is the place for you!
They are working on getting air-conditioning in the huts. The internet is a little patchy at times.

Verified reviewThe property is located on beachfront and is pretty nice. You really feel in the wild and you’re next to the start of the lighthouse trek !
It’s a bit “far” away from “activity” center (30min walk) so if you’re solo traveling and want to have fun that might not be the place for you !
