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 reviewIt has warm shower.
There was a bra pad on top of the bed, unsure the staff really did the proper cleaning. Stairs are too steep. Water that's coming out from the sink faucet is like a shower, the water flow out from the sink.

Verified reviewLocation is not far from the beach, however, the beach itself is rocky.
We were moved to another guesthouse!! When we arrived to the hotel, the owner of Alona Guesthouse said that there was an issue with the room so we got moved to "her cousins hotel". The guesthouse was not what we booked. The bathroom was not the same, room not the same. Communication with the hotel - non existant. We had an issue one night when there was no water and we could not take a shower, we reached out to the booking owner, no one even bothered to respond. Towels in the room - super low quality. No one bothered to clean the room or at least change the towels. No one was at the "reception" of the guesthouse almost ever so we could not even ask for tissues..The room was also super small - for two people it was impossible to move around comfortably. Disappointing stay.

2 cockroaches the first night. Room and bathroom a bit small. The doble bed room I got it needs something else to place your things and bags.

Verified reviewIt is in a perfect spot, with everything you could need in a 200m distance. It is very affordable and great value for your money. The best part about staying here was Lisa and her son. I really felt like I was a part of their family and i got a lot of respect for them and how they treat their guests. Will definitely come back some day!
Cleaning was not so great, and a little bit noisy. But that is nothing that impacted how I look at this place.

Verified reviewLOCATION LOCATION LOCATION If you want to be by the water, it's definitely a good spot. Wake up at 8, grab a coffee at Veranda, get in the water for a quick swim, and walk back to wash up by 10 or 11.
NOISE ... if you are a light sleeper, I absolutely do not recommend this spot. Of course it depends on who is also staying and the people in the neighborhood but it feels like the noise is right in your ear. We had one very rude person check-in on our last night who chose to sit in the lobby (aka, right outside our room door) and take his work meeting on UX/UI designs there. At 11:30 PM .. with a very, deep booming voice (European accent maybe Italian or Spanish).. this went on until at least 12:20AM. I asked for him to keep it down around 12AM, to which he left the lobby to the main entrance .. but the problem is the main entrance is right outside of our window. One of the biggest reasons I chose this stay was all of the reviews on kind and helpful Lisa. However, Lisa , nor kind and helpful, was found during my 4 night stay (added one more night before arriving). Noone in the lobby, except her maybe-teen son(?) and somebody else who simply gave us the room keys when checking in while looking at her cellphone.
I apologize i was not able to connect with you during your stay and the disturbance of other guest. Thanks anyway for staying in Lisa's Guesthouse.

Verified reviewIt’s very centrally located Owner is nice although rarely there
Room is super basic, and bathroom is so small it’s always a heavy air in both… Hostel clearly cater for Israelis, and they stick together very tight so if you are not one of them you are met with awkward looks in the dining area… Very laud late into night
Thank you Rafal for staying in Lisa's Guesthouse. I apologize you feel awkward during your stay maybe because I did not have enough time to connect with you. The place is for everyone and all guests we treat everyone as a family to us.

Verified reviewThe location was amazing. And Lisa is the best!
The bathroom can use a little bit more tender, love and care but nothing that would make me give her less than a 10 out of 10!
Thank you so much Pedro for staying in Lisa's Guesthouse. Looking forward of hosting you again in your future travel in Moalboal.
