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.).

Our shower drained slowly/ standing water and it leaked on floor after showering. The internet was not good. Deck needs to be cleaned in corners- many cobwebs!

The pullout sofa bed was very uncomfortable, the couch had stains and the sheets were rough and not warm. There were no extra blankets in the closet. The bathtub was dirty especially around the spa jets.

Verified reviewGood, on-site parking. Good location. Ok price. Ample Bottled water provided upon request.
Lots of deferred maintenance. screen missing from sliding patio door so did not leave door open to get fresh air; our sliding glass door faced cemetery (some people may like to see headstones from their room but it creeped me out) (I think at one time there may have been a privacy fence that just aged out and was never replaced.) the 4 pm check-in with no exceptions led to long line at 4pm; at check-in, very strange instructions on how to use the TV remote in the room. No daily housekeeping; you can ask for towels and room supplies as needed. After the first nite we notified desk clerk that our glass shower door was making loud cracking noise at the hinge and the response we got was, “Do you want someone to take a look at it?” My answer was, ‘No.’. If he did not care, why should I? Lots of large dogs staying with guests. I am guessing this hotel is used by dog lovers. My question: did my room have previous dog guests? Or, do they set aside specific rooms for people with dogs? I am extremely allergic to fleas and animal dander so do not want to take any chances in the future. Had room with fireplace, which we did not use. Fireplace made strange noise and we could hear it all night long.

Verified reviewOur room was a nice one block walk from the ocean. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean.
Unfortunately, I had a encounter with a rude staffer at breakfast. She made me feel unwelcome. She asked for my buffet ticket twice and tried to scold me about taking food to my room before she realized that I had a to go container. She then explained away her behavior by saying " that it was early in the morning". Like I need a time check for breakfast. Her behavior was unprofessional

Verified reviewExquisite views of trees and being upstairs. The shower was lovely and the large bed was comfortable.
There was almost no Kleenex in the bathroom. The snacks provided were generous but very sugary. Would have preferred some sort of protein such as a hard boiled egg. Thanks!

Verified reviewWe went with our family. We had one cottage that had a living room with a backyard and that was awesome for everyone to hang out in. Including our dog. The pool, hot tub and fire pits were a great feature that we all enjoyed. The staff was all very friendly.
The cell phone reception was horrible. And in the evenings when more people were at the property the WiFi didn’t work. So that was frustrating. The hot breakfast wasn’t very good.

Verified reviewBreakfast was good. The room was spacious. The location is great. When this place was new it must have been very nice.
The bed was pretty bad. There was mold around the grout in the bathroom sink. The shower was quite difficult to get in and out of. Not safe for seniors. And the toilet was really low.
