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 reviewThe room was just as advertised in the pictures. The location was fantastic—right on the beach with a bar and restaurant downstairs, plus plenty of other dining options nearby.
The room felt a bit overpriced for what it offered and didn’t really deliver great value for money. Breakfast wasn’t included in the price, which would have been a nice addition. There was no mosquito net, which would have been helpful, and the water pressure in the shower was terrible.

Verified reviewGreat location, right on the beach beside the best restaurants and cafés! Spacious, nicely decorated room with all necessary amenities.
The value for money could be improved if breakfast was included in the price. There was also no room service/cleaning done throughout our stay. Staff was very helpful but could be a bit more attentive to detail.

Verified reviewBeachfront stay with surfing school just beside if you need one. Tuk Tuk is always around the corner. There are only 2 rooms on the 1st floor and on the ground floor you have got a bar with the restaurant. They have pizzas from the wood fired oven. The sourdough base of the pizza was very tasteful. Staff was amazing and very helpful. The were very quick in sorting out any samall issues.
No pepperoni pizza, only 2 sorts of wine by glass which was overpriced.

Verified reviewThe room was very spacious and comfortable with brilliant air conditioning, bathroom facilities, Netflix on the tv and the comfiest bed we’ve ever stayed in. The employees were super friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was outstanding - we especially loved the Butter Chicken curry and the calamari. The music that was played at the restaurant was also amazing and meant we really enjoyed spending time there over other options. We even asked the waiters for the name of the Spotify playlist on our last evening as we enjoyed it so much. The location is also just ideal - in the middle of beach with loads of nice places to visit within walking distance. Brilliant sunset every evening too!
Nothing to dislike!

Verified reviewBeautiful, comfortable room and the location was fantastic, right on the beach front. There’s only 2 rooms so it feels like a very private and personal experience. The staff were exceptional and couldn’t do enough for us. Would highly recommend.
Unfortunately there was a problem with the TV and the screen was broken but the hotel manager said this was getting fixed. The room isn’t cleaned unless you ask but when we did they did it promptly and did a great job.

Verified reviewBeautiful and modern hotel. We had some complainings and the hotel gave us a huge compensation. The staff was really helpful and friendly. The hotel is actually really small (2 rooms), which I didn't realise looking at the photos. The beach chairs are super comfy! The food is really good.
The portions at the restaurant could be bigger for the price but I guess you pay the beach front view so it's fine!
