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.).

NorwayWe had a wonderful four day stay. Our hostess Amarjit took good care of us and the owner was also very helpful arranging things we needed. Rooms were clean and nicely designed. Kitchen was clean and available for the guest. Lovely clean swimming pool, nice to cool down in the afternoon. 5 min walk to a beautiful and not crowded beach where it’s possible to surf. Several restaurants with good food and service. 30 min walk along the beach to a nice lake in the jungle. Lots of good shops behind Arambol beach,not far from tthe lake. Great place to stay when you’re in Goa. 45 min tax drive to Manohar international airport.

BrazilNothing to complain about.
My stay in SOLS Backyard was just lovely! I don’t remember staying in such a good place like this before. The whole house is extremely clean and smells so nice (even the stairs hahaha). The kitchen has all the equipment you need to cook a meal. The room is comfortable and has a cozy balcony. The outside area is huge and so nice, the pool, the bed chairs, and they even provide a pool towel. The staff were super nice and very helpful. It is 5 minutes walking to Arambol Beach, there are some fruit shop and restaurant also walking distance. It’s a peaceful and calm place to stay that definitely is worth the price! The pictures are very accurate and I recommend the stay there.

NetherlandsThe requirement for 2000 rupee deposit is annoying. It took a lot of communication to arrange for room inspection for checkout and then I had 2000 rupees cash right before leaving the country.... The kitchen could use a thorough cleaning. There is definitely a discrepancy between the staff's understanding of cleanliness and European standards. The dishrack is moldy and there are ants everywhere. The quality of the pots and pans not so nice to cook in.
The building is close to the beach in a quiet area, inside a lovely courtyard. The common area upstairs is amazing with the hanging chair, lounge bed, table. The bedroom had a decent bed/bedding, a clean bathroom of great quality, and a lovely private balcony. Would stay here again.

TurkeyWe arrived later than expected and notified the owner and staff, but due to the lack of phone reception, receiving the wifi password beforehand would have been helpful. Unfortunately, we were disturbed about 45 minutes after our anticipated arrival when staff knocked on our door. Additionally, the bedroom door was quite noisy when opening and closing.
The location was great, nice garden and quiet place. The communication with the owner was really good. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

AustraliaThe property itself it’s a quiet place immersed into thousands of shades of green, it was great to wake up in such a peaceful environment. The room it’s simple, but it has anything you need. We never had problems with facilities like AC and hot water were always working. One thing I also enjoyed a lot is the balcony. The picture will talk :) The owners asked us many times if we needed anything, they are super friendly and you can tell they care a lot about customers. We were supposed to stay only one week and ended up being there for 3.. super recommended if you are looking for a handy, quiet place while enjoying Arambol

France1. The owner first tried to charge extra money for willing to pay by credit card ( extra % for card which was not mentioned in the description on Booking.com). Also, he texted me via WhatsApp at 1am that I have to check out at 10am otherwise I will have to pay 1000 rupees for each hour (NB: checkout time on booking.com is mentioned 9-11 am) That behavior was simply rude and inappropriate. 2. I didn’t find the room and the bedding tidy enough (dust in the wardrobe, dirt in the bathroom, etc) 3. The hotel area seems nice, but as you go outside there’s too much garbage, especially on the way to the beach. As I moved to another hotel, I discovered that not all the places in Goa look that apocalyptic.
Mostly it’s cozy and practical. Swimming pool is a good bonus. There’s a possibility to use a kitchen. AC and WiFi work well. Staff is really helpful, smiling and friendly.

AustraliaNice enough property and everything was clean, but it was not what we were looking for. The place is advertised as a kind of 'homestay' where you might interact with other guests and the hosts. In fact, we never even met OJ and Sparsha, and had limited communication with them via Whatsapp. Had we known this was just another commercial arrangement, we would have booked with one of the many resorts located on the beach itself. Further, we were told there was a cafe open daily but this was not always the case and we felt like we were being a burden by even asking.
Nice garden, lovely property.
