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):
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.
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.).

HungaryMosquito net was completely broken. You can’t use the kitchen and it’s quite far from anywhere if you want to get a meal. In our bathroom the shower head gives a small electric shock if you touch it!
It’s a huge property with a beautiful walking trail to a waterfall. Great view from in front of the cabin, sheets are freshly washed , everything is clean. Super cute common area.

IrelandThe mattress was awful. It felt like you would sink into it as if it was some sort of foam material that would hold shape.
The location is great if you want to feel like you’re connecting with nature. Sounds of the tropical forrest during the nights make it special.

PolandFor the price you pay it lacks a lot of details. Accommodation is in the middle of the jungle so your clothes get wet all the time and there is no place to hang them on to dry. There was no chair in the room, no clothes rack, no drying rope on the terrace. Additionally, the towels smelled strongly of humidity and were not changed even once. Outdoors bathroom: there is only one anti mosquito bulb above the sink but none above the toilet; It is a tropical forest so insects are a big thing especially at night. Additionally, no place to put your clothes on not mentioning hanging a towel. I put my pajama and a towel next to a sink and it got all dirty. Kitchen: if people are supposed to cook there, they will be washing dishes and there is no kitchen towel or a dish dryer rack. Terrace: mosquito bulb on one side only. Two uncomfortable small stools to seat on, while it could be some comfortable chair you could sit and enjoy the view.
Staying in a tropical forest where since the morning you can watch exotic birds from a terrace is something very unique.

SpainIt's a bit isolated and the last part of the road is only accessible by 4x4, but you can park the car before that and walk a bit to the reception.
The place was beautiful both the room and the surrounding, it has a little trail to a beautiful waterfall that it's only accessible from the property. Breakfast was included and we also asked for dinner, both were delicious.

GermanyThere was only one chair and no table in front of the tent. A small fridge in the tent would be useful as the accommodation is quite remote and you can't keep things cool and fresh.
Wonderful accommodation in the middle of a beautiful jungle-like garden (best reached by 4x4). The tents are a really nice idea and you can see and hear different animals directly from the porch. The owners were very friendly and the dinner was delicious (book in advance). I would book again anytime.

United StatesJust the fans in the room were not working so well.
Location, facilities, outdoor shower, restaurant, staff... all absolutely amazing. There is something for everyone here, from glamping to gorgeous homes. We stayed in the family cabin and loved it. Great little yoga space and amazing restaurant plus absolutely fantastic hospitality. The waterfall was dry because it wasn't the rainy season, but the hike down was still beautiful. What a gem of a place. Thank you. We will be back!

United StatesWe rented a vehicle that wasn't able to make it up to the top of the parking space (farther up a hill), so it made it a bit challenging to carry in our luggage all the more as we arrived at 7pm and it was dark. Just be sure to expect a bit of a climb to get to the main building. Once you know it is there, it wasn't such a big deal.
Very idyllic stay at Cascada Elysiana, only wish it was longer! Loved the single room cabin with the outdoor shower. Everything felt very secluded, private, natural and clean. Interesting cabin architecture, and loved all of the light streaming in the windows each morning. Excellent breakfast overlooking gardens and hummingbirds. The staff made it feel very communal, and they did a great job of making sure we were well looked after. I would definitely consider returning even as a solo traveler for some quiet, peace, creative and meditation time.

United KingdomVery steep unmade drive to accommodation. Need to park at the bottom of the slope unless you have a 4 wheel drive. Booking.com app did not show that we had booked glamping tents rather than rooms. Could do with addressing this. Having said that the tents were fine and not too many bugs!
Really feel in the jungle with lots of wildlife nearby. Had it's own waterfall which was beautiful. Good breakfast and kind staff.

United StatesSome of the trails are not being maintained, but the ones that are maintained were amazing.
The meals prepared by the staff were amazing. Every breakfast tasted incredible and was fresh and nutritious. We had a little glitch with our air conditioning the first night and the staff was incredibly accommodating, offering alternative accommodations (a major upgrade) as well as a lovely dinner to compensate for our inconvenience.
