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 property is very modern, clean and comfortable. Beautifully designed. Great beds and new towels and lined, could not fault. The pool area was clean and well maintained. There is not much service around the pool but the bar and restaurant wasn’t far or a huge bother to walk over. Communication with the staff was over WhatsApp and very efficient, nothing was too hard and the staff were super friendly and helpful.
There are no wardrobes in the bedrooms, just hooks with hangers and nowhere to hang up a towel. Small detail but slightly annoying after a few days.
Hi Anna! Thank you for both the kind words and feedback from your stay. We hope to have you back soon.

Verified reviewGreat location, rooms were massive and very comfortable, well stocked and would be great if you were there for a long time. Beds were super comfortable, pool was great! Room appeared very clean when we arrived!
Upon further inspection, there were certain areas of the hotel that over our 4 days at the hotel I noticed were not cleaned. As well, the smell of the dishwasher in the room was not good. Avoided at all costs, which made me slightly concerned that it is not frequently deep cleaned.
Hi Alison, Thank you for the kind words and the feedback on areas of improvement. We appreciate all insight and hope to see you back in the future. Talk soon! Ashley Austin- General Manager

Verified reviewGreat place to enjoy your group of friends and/or family! It was perfect for our family, enjoyed the 2 rooms with king beds. Walking distance to all the restaurants and shops in town.
The pool was great! We enjoyed the views of the local mountains in the morning. Cabanas were fun for spending the whole day at the pool, and had great service!

Verified reviewThe room was large, comfortable, modern and clean. The location was downtown and walkable too many restaurants and activities that we planned for. The restaurant was really good.
Like everything the prices especially at the pool were high, but to be expected. In our room the kitchen was nicely equipped, but missing a couple key things that would have made it perfect. There was an oven and a toaster oven, but no hot mitt so there was no way to get your food out without grabbing a bathroom towel. There was also a sink and dishes, but no kitchen towels and in the kitchen there were not a lot of plug sockets that weren't for the appliances. It would have been nice to have a couple of plugs on the island. But these are super minor details. I loved everything about this place.

Verified reviewGreat location with a lovely pool. The two bedroom suite was quite spacious.
They weren’t able to call a taxi for us at the end of our stay. I don’t have the ride share apps on my phone, so we were on hold with two taxi companies for over 20 minutes waiting to book transportation to the airport.
