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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

From the moment we walked through the doors mrs Mary made us feel super at home. We had full run of her house and a wonderful time swimming in her beautiful back yard. She’s only 10 minutes from navarre beach and it’s a wonderful location to just let all your stress out. We will definitely be back and we made a lifelong friend!

Shared bathroom could be awkward if other guests that weren’t related.
The host was great. The queen room was comfortable and quiet. No other guests at the time so didn’t have to share the bathroom. Easy to come and go.

The interior was cluttered, but remember that she isn't a spring chicken and keeping up with house cleaning, pool cleaning, yard work and all other work is done by her.
The owner Mary was the next best thing to the picture that was in the ad. A wonderful woman.

There is not a single thing that we didn’t like. It was great!
Complete paradise at the pool. We stayed 5 days! We are definitely going back! Mary was absolutely lovely. It is very close to the beaches, and it’s a DoorDash haven. We ventured out most every day but to be honest we loved the pool the most. poolside paradise is an understatement. The room was comfortable and clean.

Almost everybody who visited this place ones come back again because it's a little paradise you'll never forget. The pool is gorgeous, the accomodations are very good, it's pet friendly(which is rear in summer time) but most importantly Ms.Mary-the hostess, makes this place a paradise for her guests treating us like a family.No wonder her former guests are still her best friends from all over the country who still stay in touch with Ms.Mary None of the hotels around here will give you that. Thank you Mary for your love and friendship. We'll sure be here next summer!

My only complaint, if you call it complaining, was it was a little stuffy in the room at night. We got hot while we were sleeping.
Our host, Mary, was a hoot! Very friendly,and helpful. She made us feel like we were visiting family. Easy to find and only a few miles to the beach.

Hostess Mary and her comfortable surroundings truly made this a home stay, where we had absolutely everything we needed. Many years of her expert hosting enables meeting every challenge with grace and poise. I brought a friend from Syria to a Navarre weekend wedding… Even with a language barrier it worked out so beautifully – Mary pantomimed how armadillos have occasionally visited her amazing backyard pool paradise garden. This had us laughing well into the moonlit evening while relaxing as in our own home. Mary was a fantastic good Samaritan when I had a beach accident (concussion & whiplash while body-surfing at low tide) and medicine from the urgent care made me nauseous. She pulled out her own supply of ginger, offered tea, and was very understanding and reassuring when I had to rest an entire day, sufficient to make it to the wedding. We loved this sanctuary kind of place and Very highly recommend it! (Please make sure to enjoy the visual feast in Mary’s delightful blue glass collection hanging to sparkle in the kitchen-sunlit surroundings.) Sincerely, Carol J
