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 is the most amazing accommodation!! The view from the room over the sand dunes and across the sea are out of this world and we spent all day just relaxing on our beautiful porch and watching whales and listening to the waves! The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to help you and make you feel at home! The food is also delicious and beautifully presented. I 100% recommend staying here.

Verified reviewBeautiful property and amazing service - possibly best service from hotel I’ve ever stayed in! Love how private it feels to be here. It is all around so soothing and peaceful.
it costs a lot to taxi in and out of the place, there’s no AC, and the hot water is dependent on the weather that day (everything is solar powered)

Verified reviewFabulous place, the location is incredible, cant get much closer to the beach than this. the sound of the ocean as you lay in bed at night sooths you to sleep along with the cool breeze. The couple that host the venue Sonette & Jose- are lovely warm people that really made me feel at home. All meals were fantastic, 3 courses each time, perfect breakfast for a long day on the beach. The beach and surroundings were so beautiful, the sun rises directly in front of the villas for those who like to get up early. The area felt very safe, the locals were welcoming a friendly. couldn't have asked for a batter stay, hope to see you again Sava (Sonette & Jose)

Verified reviewBeautiful eco lodge on top of the sand dunes north of Tofo. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very spacious, each with a terrace overlooking the ocean. We were visiting during the whale migration and we’re lucky to see whales breaching from our rooms or while taking our meals. Sonette, her husband and the team are very friendly and always happy to help (eg organising tours). The food was also delicious. Highly recommend - it is a special place!
