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 reviewSmall, beaufully located hotel next to small lovely beach. Super cozy, quiet and solitary. Outstanding view from balcony, loved everything about it. Amazing value - cost vs. Facility.
Wifi was poor.

Verified reviewA smallish hotel with 10 rooms, all a very good size sitting above the beach but without the noise of traffic. The food was well prepared and made use of a lot of local products, a good kitchen. The pool was cleaned daily and in very good condition and the gardeners do a magnificent job keeping the grounds looking magnificent.
It's not really something to dislike but the hotel seemed out of place without a decent coffee machine.
Hi John , Thank you for those kind words, we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Safe travels!

Verified reviewThe property is beautiful, very well maintained with a lush garden right by the ocean and a big, clean pool with ocean view. The layout is great and even if all rooms are occupied, it doesn’t feel crowded. The beach is clean and empty with a swimmable corner and lovely to dip or watch the sunset. A supermarket and cafe is within walking distance. The service was friendly and welcoming.
The kitchen / bar closes early, you can’t get a drink at 11pm eg - it feels there’s mostly 60+ year old couples staying who aren’t leaving the hotel and eat early (and give you a little side eye whenever they can - nothing that the hotel can change but that’s the crowd here), there is not much around, you will def need a TukTuk to get to the local restaurants, except for some beach restaurants (which also close around 10pm) Also sea view in the room description is a big word: we had a corner room and few centimeters of “view” next to various ac maschines.
Hi Marco , we are sad to hear that your experience with us didn’t go as expected. This is duly noted and we will try to improve our service based on this. Thank you for sharing this feedback.

Verified reviewVery nice boutique hotel. Got a very spacious ground floor room with big bathroom and own terrace in front of the room. I think a room upgrade. Good restaurant on site. Weather was not supportive much to use swimming pool but it looked nice and must be a plus on sunny day. Direct beach access, but no walking on the beach really as it is short ending with rocks on both sides.

Verified reviewHuge room with balcony, beach view, beautiful garden. The pool was also great. The bed was comfortable. The staff is very nice and supportive, they speak English. The mask museum just 10 mins walk.
Limited choice for breakfast, but more than enough. There is a menu with few options. For two days it was okay but for longer holiday it can be an issue.
