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 reviewgood room shape
no amazing views! Balcony all day in shade. View is ok, but you primarily look to wind craft on hill of other side. You do not see the sun for sunset or sunrise (November), but see the pool and barbecue station. We had several problems: a) rooms and cutlery partially not clean. Cutlery partially rusty! Hair dryer sticky and dusty. Kitchen counter sticky … We do have pictures to prove! Just added one. b) internet partially slow or not available c) 2 evenings water cold in shower We always directly have sent complaints to counterpart. For water they solved, for the rest they just excused…but have not done anything. We would have expected some partial refund … which we suggested. Even not an answer to that. We know that things can happen … but in that case it is not ok just to take the money (which is a lot) and apologize. We hoped to be treated better.
5 hosted properties, with 400 reviews over 10 years on the 3 most used platforms. If you do this long enough you're bound to bump into all sorts. Long story short I don't trade $ for reviews. When you hold your ground to those sorts I guess this is the outcome. Shame on booking for not taking down a review after the guest offered to remove it if I deposited money into there bank account.

Verified reviewGreat location, very clean and updated condo, amazing view, laundry room close, great kitchen with all utensils and most spices. Ice maker that works for my drinks! Comfortable bed, great bathroom, use of beach chairs and towels and more. I did need to call the host with an AC question, and he called back within 3 minutes and solved my problem. I would stay again in a heartbeat.
Not much. The pull-out sofa/bed was tough to close each morning. Some ants in the kitchen, but I have bigger ones at home so not a big deal.

Verified reviewThe property was great! It satisfied all of our needs and felt very home like. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Fully furnished with all cooking necessities you would need. Only had to buy food to cook. The view is great and so close to the beach. All around perfect place to stay.

Verified reviewThe location is excellent. It is peaceful yet within easy reach of shops and restaurants. It is only a short stroll across the lawn to the beach and to the fishpond (a favourite resting place for the turtles 🐢). The view is amazing. The decor is pleasing and the kitchen well equipped. The bed is comfortable. We liked the self check-in facility. The provision of beach chairs was appreciated. Parking is easy.
There were only very minor issues which didn't spoil our enjoyment of the condo. One set of curtains were too long and another set too short. There was a shortage of hanging space in the wardrobe.

Verified reviewReviewed: 8 August 2023 · Stayed in July 2023
Verified reviewWe loved the details including: the view from the balcony, spacious, well designed rooms and furniture. The condominium was clean, had all the necessities (kitchen/bathroom) and more. The ironing board, steamer, curling iron, hair dryer, sunscreen and laundry basket and laundry tabs made for thoughtful details. The location and parking was convenient (we rented a car which made things so much easier). The beautiful care of the landscaping, pool and bbq areas of the property was maintained daily. We would have our morning coffee on the balcony and see the caretaker work diligently each day. It was better than we expected and a perfect place for our vacation. You could have comfortably had 4 people stay there since the couch was also a sofa bed. We would definitely recommend this rental and gladly stay there again.
