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 reviewThe location is very good . Our car can park inside the compound. The view is fantastic. food is good. We are very lucky the owner, Marilyn was there we finally met . She also sees to it that the guests / us are comfortable in their place. The staff are helpful. It is also pet friendly.
It's has low water pressure when taking a shower. The frame / box for the remote control below the TV give a little uneasy to pass by when switching on and off the Aircon .

Verified reviewLocation and price. Although price could be a little bit better knowing CR is shared.
"Brenda room 2nd floor" Bed had bedbugs. But the owner understood and addressed it right away when we checked out. Next time, try to nap first to see if there are bed bugs or not.

Verified reviewNothing sorry.
First it takes 20 minute past Santander. No shops or anything much around. Booked for 3 teenagers 2 adults. Booked Bungalow (as it's called) for the 3 kids and Seaview for adults. Well where do I start. Seaview old and dinghy so asked for the Jap seaview and was told it was booked. Was not as none even slept in there. So stayed in other bungalow room next to kids. Toilet smell all throughout bungalow to the point of wanting to vomit. Told to wipe and put toilet paper in bin. Door handle ofbath/toilet broken also kid was trapped in. Sister(owner) is in Amsterdam (hence writing of it in places. Photos of her (Marylyn MDF) in bungalow. Very ery dirty and uncomfortable Pillowslike rocks and smell like dog ,Air conditioning not cold AT ALL.Felt muggy dirty n sticky. Exploiting tourists with excessive prices and surcharge to bring food in. The staff do try but are obviously restricted by owners lack of attention , care or funds. Maybe if she put more effort and money into her business instead of being so VAIN this could be a nice place..

Verified reviewRight on the beach
Smells like Dog poo due to the on site kennels near the Harley room. My bed had small poop droppings on it, suspected to be from the lizards that were able to get inside through a stick open bathroom window. The shower doesn’t work. The heater kicks on full blast and will burn you. They set up karaoke and blast it right outside until very late hours. The toilet didn’t flush

we booked a private bathroom room on booking.com but when we arrived we were told there wasn’t any private bathroom rooms. we were a little upset as I had been quite unwell and wanted to have the comfort of a private bathroom. the staff were very apologetic and lovely about the situation just a shame booking.com had it advertised incorrectly.
