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 reviewWell, the location to the beach was excellent and the property was very aesthetically pleasing.
No drinking water. Had to go all the way into town for drinking water. That was a little inconvenient. Maybe they should sell AFFORDABLE drinking water at the front desk, not those $5 for a 12 oz bottle but I mean gallon of Arrowhead at a reasonable rate. Would be nice to have a small hot tub on the property. No air conditioning in the room; it was a little warm. But listen....this sounds like I'm hard slamming. I don't mean to. We actually loved the place thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fireside.

Your suggestions regarding amenities and comfort are valued and will be reviewed as we seek new ways to enhance guest stays. We look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing getaway.

Verified reviewThe staff was really nice. This is always my place. I stay when I come.
I was disappointed because we had dirty sheets and we had to ask three times for new sheets that we had to put on ourselves the third time we finally got the right sheet sizes, but they gave us the wrong blanket size. I’ve been received a text message asking if I could get another blanket and no one ever responded. What is the point of sending text messages out asking if you need anything and then never responding. I was very disappointed.
Hernandez, thank you for your continued visits and for acknowledging the friendliness of the team members. It’s unfortunate to hear there were challenges with your linen requests and communication during your stay. Your comments will be considered as we strive to improve the overall guest experience.

Verified reviewComfortable bed. Great location. Lots of parking. Heated pool. Nice bathroom toiletries. Decent water pressure. Quiet. Enjoyed the fireplace.
It would have been good to have a normal desk chair at the desk instead of a rolling easy chair. And, it might be nice to have a two seater table in the room to eat snacks or have coffee at.

Verified reviewWalls are paper thin. Could hear loud neighbors until 1:30 AM. Polyester sheets and pillow cases, not 100% cotton. For the price, there should have been farther bedding and cotton sheets. The staff lacked any customer service skills and any desire to be helpful. Instead, they acted as if we were a bother, when we had requests.
