Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomOur main issue was that the A/C struggled to cool down the whole cottage, so the bedroom was cool but the kitchen/ dining area was warm. A fan would solve this but when we asked they didn't have any spare. The WiFi is a bit in and out plus there's quite a few bugs but I think both of those just come with being on a little tropical island. I'd recommend bringing ear plugs and eye mask as it gets rather bright and loud with animals by sunrise.
Cute spacious rooms in a lovely garden. Peaceful, mostly just noises of the jungle. Helpful owner.

United KingdomThe pots and pans could do with an update, but they are functional enough. Some floor tiles are loose so tripping over them in the night is possible, not a big deal though. Not much around, couple of small stores and about 10mins on a bike to get to a few more restaurants, so having a kitchen is a plus!
Such a spacious room! Had everything you need, internet was great. The garden is just glorious, so beautiful to wake up to in the morning… felt very private even with rooms either side. Fritz is a great host, not intrusive but there if you need him. Can do laundry on site too. Oh and….. you can drink the tap water…. Unbelievable , their water comes from a spring so is safe to drink! After 1 year travelling around Asia this is a first, what a luxury!!

CanadaIn the bungalow there is some trees near the roof i think that bang against it when windy. Also the plumbing may need to be cleaned up as the shower at issues draining at times. In the 2nd studio room all is okay except the bed could be a bit comfier. Owners could consider providing little nespresso coffee packs in the rooms for the price they charge - would be a great add on to the kitchen.
Beautiful cottages. The bungalows are a bit newer and have AC. I also stayed in the slightly cheaper/older studio when I extended my stay. Great little kitchen, working fridge and nice hot water. Loved being able to cook something and make a rice snack. Fairly reliable internet - but sometimes in the bungalow it dropped out as they are using an extender. Overall great place to stay and super roomy which I liked.

GermanyBeautiful bungalows with air conditioning in a lovely, well-maintained resort. Everything is clean, very quiet, and you can rent scooters at an affordable price. However, what truly makes this place special are the two hosts. Words can hardly do them justice, but here’s an example: my friend had a food poisoning incident, and Lita got up in the middle of the night to cook rice for her, went into town to get medication for us, and genuinely took extraordinary care of us. Such wonderful people and a beautiful place to stay!

A beautiful place, a well-equipped studio, in a very nice garden. The host are very kind and welcoming, Fritz and Lita, and Lita’s daughter Catlyn. They also have 2 dogs that sometimes come to spend some time with you on the balcony. The location is great, it’s near everything. You’ll just need a scooter to go around. I highly enjoyed staying here, it’s quiet and peaceful. I kept extending my stay !

AustraliaThe bed frame was made from bamboo and was a bit creaky/ rickety.
I loved the location of the property. It was set in a beautiful quiet garden away from hustle and bustle but still close enough that it was a 5-10 minute drive to a lot of attractions/ restaurants. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and had a good functioning shower and kitchen. I would definitely stay here again!

MexicoThis is a lovely property in all respects. The hosts have invested a huge amount of time and effort in the gardens and cottages. The very large garden is especially nice with mature trees, flowers and fruits. The setting is very peaceful. Just a couple of minutes off the highway and is very close to the town of Mumbajao. There are two standalone cottages and one block of three (side by side) for a total of five. The aircon is cold, the kitchen is useful and the bathroom is spacious. All the fixtures and fittings are new. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend this place and will certainly be back.

CroatiaCottages are on a beautiful garden-like property ensuring privacy to each cottage. Gated, well-luminated in night, has a motorbike garage, close to airport, town, hot spring... The cottage has everything, really comfortable, good bamboo bed and all essential amenities you need like dishes, towels, washing machine and drying area. One of the best and fastest Wifi on the island as well. The landlord family is really friendly and helpful. I love it here and it is by far the best cottage we stayed in Camiguin. This is my go-to place to stay on the island.

Hosts not present, we only knew he was there because of the loud music coming from his house at the back. No privacy - no windows, just mosquito guards over holes in the wall, no curtains.
