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...).

FinlandThe hostel doenst have any hammocks and the kitchen was dirty. Pool didn't look the same as in the photos and toilets were quite worn out. With some small improvements it would be a really nice place.
Really clean dorm with comfy beds and Aircon. Nice location little bit out of the main square. Cute cats and really nice staff. Good for couple nights. You can order dinner from the lady working there.

GermanyIt was a wonderful stay, I enjoyed it very much. The location was gigantic - right on the beautiful, crystal clear sea (even with its own house reef). The owners were incredibly nice and hospitable: I got my laundry done for free and I could borrow their snorkels every day. What a warm family and what a heavenly beautiful place!

AustraliaThe lock on the door was a bit flimsy and the AC remote stopped working in the night but both of these things weren’t great issues!!
The host was so lovely and amazing and the view out the door was amazing!!! So gorgeous. She helped us find the waterfall and the beach in Panama. It’s also in a perfect spot for Sapzurro.

United StatesThe bed was horribly uncomfortable. I have traveled the world and stayed in many different environments. I’m not too picky, but the bed wasn’t padded so the springs hurt and made it impossible to get comfortable. The pictures of the outdoor space in the listing make it seem private but we were never able to use it because there were always family or friends of the owner sitting right in front of our room. One night several men were outside the room listening to very loud music and drinking. If I were a solo woman traveling I would feel unsafe. The experience of staying there was not relaxing and was a disappointment overall. The owner is very friendly but she needs to be clearer about the room not having a private area for each room.
the room is right on the water which was nice
