Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomPROS: The host was very welcoming and gave us a free room upgrade. The room was above expectations (fridge, TV, air con, ceiling fan) and personal cutlery/tableware set provided. Location was outside a bus stop, so we didn't need to carry our bags any distance. Room felt nice and clean. CONS: beware there is no flexibility on bag storage/waiting in the common room past 5pm, even if your onwards travel departs shortly after this time. Toilets/showers could do with an update and you have to go outside to move between your room and other areas, Inc toilet/sink. Also, Persistent warnings and reminders everywhere felt patronising and unhomely.

AustraliaMy room did not have a private bathroom attached; however I knew this when booking and the shared bathrooms were more than fine and provided privacy. This might be a turn off for some, however it is well promoted as to what is being provided.
Spacious room within a structure of natural timbers for flooring and roof. Excellent air-conditioning and natural ventilation if preferred. The shared kitchen and dining area is lovely and again is an earthy, easy to relax in space.

AustraliaThe mattress could use replacing in the room I was in. Also, while it's so lovely to feel like you're in a treehouse, on the windy night I was there a tree was banging on the tin roof throughout the night. I have earplugs and it still woke me up.
The room I had was quite charming, though simple. The location is relatively convenient. I didn't stay for long enough, but it seems like there are lots of fun facilities from a giant Connect 4, and outdoor bbqs. The hammocks are also a nice touch.
