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 reviewThis place is close to the beach and town.
There was no coffee machine or microwave in the room or lobby. They cleaned our room early in the afternoon, and we didn't get towels until late evening.

Verified reviewThe location was the only benefit to this accommodation. The aircon was actually good too sorry.
The room was filthy. The ground is concrete and our feet were dirty as soon as we stepped out of the shower. The receptionist tried to con us out of money. There was ants everywhere in the room and there was a dead lizard under the fridge. The room heard every sound from above/below/outside.

Verified reviewThe location is excellent - close enough to the village center yet far enough not to pick up the party noise. There are nice grocery stores around the corner where you can buy water, beer, snacks, etc. The room was on the smaller side but well kept, equipped with a small but functional fridge. The roof top balcony with small pool, though no a scenic ocean view to enjoy, was a great place to laze around especially in the afternoon when there will be some shaded area.
The room was on the smaller side but cannot complain for the friendly price. The wifi was erratic - sometimes it worked fine other times very slow, or not at all. The shower / bathroom flush was a little weak. After several days we found out, in fact, the Wifi workes much faster on the top floor balcony, and there are two sets of shower & toilet up there on the top floor. Try them, when wifi / shower in your room are weak.

Verified reviewEasy, comfortable, nice
Even though I know WiFi is bad in the island, we were expecting at least at night to get some calls but the signal was getting lost in the first floor back of our rooms. We believe the router was weak. Because the signal was a better at the entrance of the hotel

Verified reviewOwner needs to add more utensils to the room with the kitchen. No cups, glasses or ceramic bowls/plates. We had to drink out of polystyrene cups.

Verified reviewThe owner needs to do better. The staff are lovely and trying their best. We booked the room with the kitchen but it didn’t have any cups or glasses and had 4 plastic plates. Hardly any utensils to use for cooking and one fork to use between the two of us. If I’d have known this was the case I’d have booked a budget option down the street with a shared kitchen. The room itself was really comfortable, good air con and clean. We thought by being a bit away from the bars it would be quieter but not the case. The roads are busy with taxis all night, so if you’re booking a room only without the kitchen, I’d request a room at the back of the property. For the price I don’t think it’s worth it. There are other options on the island that would be quieter and more equipped, if you prefer to have a kitchen.
