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 reviewThere was nothing to like about this property. It was just a horrible experience from the time I got there
There was nothing to like about this property. From the time i got there i was annoyed and frustrated with the lady in the reception. She was very unfriendly. I paid for a two bedroom family suite with a king size bed. Unit 6 was allocated to me. I was given unit 1 with a double bed and two single beds. The floors were dirty and the carpets were disgusting. When i asked for the room that i paid for, receptionist told me that i should contact Booking.com and ask them!!! Really. There wasn't enough parking. The establishment booked for more vehicles than what space they had. The reception is a racist as far as I am concerned. I will never recommend them
unable to please everybody

Verified reviewLocated in a very nice area and everything is close by, 2 mins from a garage, Has access to a private beach and has a lovely sea view from the room, Apartment was comfortable and clean.
Owner was very rude to us, Booked for 2 friends and upon arrival requested for a third friend, was given 2 towels, when requested for another towel was told by the owner we booked for 3 not 20. When I requested to add a third person, Booking.com worked out cheaper on the website but was shouted at and told by the owner that she will not accept it as she gets charged a 35% commission, why is this held against us. Has a so called curfew which I understand for the security alarm but why not give each room a remote to disarm when you enter or exit, which place tells you when to come and go. Was shouted at on numerous occasions by the owner like we kids, a dog that is always wanting to run on the road, we are shouted at for it, the owner mistreats her dog. We were also accused of having multiple guests over to sleep when few of us were just visiting as we are locals. Not enough parking for everyone. Friends were treated differently to me as they were not local. Room was not even cleaned, when brought up, the owner made every excuse under the sun. Reception area had a musty smell and dog poop everywhere outside. Welcome was so terrible that we were considering to cancel the booking upon arrival but due to the cancellation policy we decided not too. Consider looking at the resorts replies to some of the comments, the owner is very rude, always has excuses and is very unprofessional.

Verified reviewOnly thing is it had it's own private beach entrance that's all
The grass won't cut the outside tables were dirty for days the lighting by the pool was bad and even to get to the room from the pool area was dark and the tiles were wet we could have slipped and fall we had to figure out how to get things and how things work they were so unfriendly couldn't even get sugar and the lady who checked us in at night they would get drunk and would hear them driving in and out at night.i will never return to this place for that amount we got the bare minimum and other places had so much to offer for that amount it was really a mistake going there
