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...).

Costa RicaThe checkout is advertised for 12pm and from 11am the front desk was calling to ask when we would be checking out. I think we received 6 calls from 11am-11.30am which was very disruptive.

CanadaI should have asked for a light blanket. The rooms only had a sheet on the bed. And the toiletries were very basic. Only soap. No shower stuff like shampoo or hair drier. Just be prepared. Maybe i only had to ask for them but i expected them in the room for us
The breakfast was amazing with amazing fresh fruit juice and a side of fresh fruit...was wonderful. It was included in our booking The staff are super cute, refreshing, smiley people

CanadaWhile we liked that it was in a quiet residential area, there were few restaurants within walking distance. We took a taxi to the main square to find restaurants.
Breakfast was lovely - in the courtyard under the large tree. Lots of food, delicious juice and coffee. We wished we didn't have to leave quickly for our excursion and would have loved to take our time over the excellent coffee.

CanadaIt was quite far from the airport and it was hard to find food for dinner as there is nothing close to the hotel. The neighborhood didn't feel entirely safe for walking after dark.
This is a cute little budget hotel, which was good for an overnight stay in Liberia. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was very good.

CanadaThe only drawback for us was the distance to the airport. We had planned on returning for the night before our departure on a morning flight, but felt that the 25 minute drive would be too frantic, so we rebooked to a far more expensive hotel by the airport. If this isn’t a problem, we highly recommend Hotel Javy
This is a very clean, efficient, welcoming staff, very charming and a fine breakfast included. I appreciated the excellent communication with the owner before our arrival as well.

The breakfast way great and got us started for a day of biking. We started a bikepacking trip in Liberia. The staff was very helpful and stored our bike boxes for free while we road.

United StatesThe TV was really small,
Breakfast was delicious and we had to leave very early, so I appreciated that we were able to eat at 6:30 am. The location was easy to find and I liked that they had protected parking. We were able to walk to a Soda to have a bite to eat after our arrival. The property is well-kept and basic, but enjoyable.

United StatesI mistook "we offer airport pickup" for "we will pick you up for free" - that was my mistake. The taxi ride was $25. There isn't much within walking distance.
Breakfast was prompt and delicious, and the lush courtyard is very pleasant. Staff were super nice and helpful. It's quite simple and spare inside, but it was just what we needed for a refreshing sleep, shower, and breakfast to begin the first day of vacation. The street was quiet and the AC worked well.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The grounds are beautiful with lots of plants in pots and a few central trees in the middle of the property. It felt safe and secure. We were able to park our rental car in the gated parking lot and were able to come and go at whatever time. Breakfast was comprehensive and prompt. Great stay for our family of four!

United StatesThe main outside sitting area was right outside our window and the chatter was loud when we were ready to sleep. It did not go on all night.
This in a quiet neighborhood, limited restuarants in walking distance, IT is quite a distance from the airport and a bit challenging to find but the rooms were fine and the breakfast was fantastic. The staff very friendly and helpful. The font gate is always closed and locked so you must ring the bell to enter. IT is not luxurious but a fine simple local place to stay in Liberia.
