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 reviewLadies running the place are so kind. They really went the extra mile, even taking me to the town square when I was late for my bus. You can book boat trips and shuttles with them, also scooter rentals available. Very quiet area, no noise from other people or vehicles driving up and down area. Included breakfast is a lovely touch! However bathroom has to be cleaned every day, or at least every second day. It's not acceptable to have a room with up to 8 people at once and the bathroom isn't cleaned over the weekend.

The place is simply not suitable for living or sleeping. The smell is so strong that you can’t tell if you’re sleeping in a public toilet or a bedroom. Check-in and check-out are handled by an 8-year-old child. Cockroaches are just a small addition to everything else. Photos not represented real view.

Verified reviewThe location was very good, in center but in a quiet place.
The rooms smell very damp. No pressure in the shower. They rented us a scooter in poor condition and tried to charge us for a flat tire (on a tire that was in pitiful condition) I lost something in the room (which is located down there by my phone) but they tell me they haven't found anything. So very disappointing accommodation. I don’t recommend.

Verified reviewVery friendly family who runs the hostel. Good breakfast and not too far from a beautiful view (5 min walk to forest camp) over the island. The owner walked with us to show us the view and had such a sweet family. They are open for one month and I wish them the best

Verified reviewI loved all the plants at reception, it felt very tropical. The staff were really lovely and offered us tours etc. Breakfast was included which was great and the service was brilliant. They asked us what time we would like breakfast and which option we wanted and we woke up and it was ready. The room was basic as expected for the price.
We were concerned about cleanliness as we had to kill two cockroaches in the night. I don’t know if this is just because it is in a very wild area but I had concerns it was because it was dirty so we booked somewhere else for our next few nights (as we had only booked one to begin with). The bathroom / wet room was quite small and had nowhere to attach the shower to on the wall so had to hold it. Room was extremely hot, I think this may be because it’s quite small with only a fan.
