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...).

TaiwanWe didn't get the same type of rooms(smaller) as we booked. The staff was nice enough and gave us an extra room in another guesthouse because this property was full. But this issue was still annoying because it was late and took me quite a while to negotiate by cellphone.
The location was good.

Cabin-style hotel. Simple, but effective. Very functional, nothing fancy. Beautiful location next to the river. Restaurant across the street is good.

United StatesWhen we got to the Guesthouse, we needed to call someone to get our key, since it was after hours. After calling a few times, we eventually got the person who informed us that our key was in the door of our cabin. Luckily, we had an international calling plan. Another family was checking in at the same time as we were and they didn't have international calling. We allowed them to use our phone. If we weren't there, they may not have known what cabin they were in or how to get the key.
We had a beautiful view of water outside our cabin.

United StatesThe place did not match the description on the website. We arrived a little after four and the office was closed. There was a number that we were supposed to call but it is not a WhatsApp number. I sent messages but no one responded. The kettle in the kitchen had water from a previous use. The website was not clear about cleaning or cleaning fees. If I had known about this, I wouldn’t have stayed there. We had to clean it ourselves. There were no instructions and no cleaning supplies. I asked for instructions but again no response. It made me wonder if they actually clean the toilets and sheets.
The tiny cabin was ok but it didn’t have a shower.

Pretty spot next to the river which our cottage faced. Appreciated the hot tub even though we didn't use. Larger than usual living/dining/kitchen space.

United StatesThere was very little space for having so many beds in a cottage. The 'hottub/spa' was not filled and seemed like it might be broken. I understand if we wanted to use it we'd have to fill it, which is not something I typically see at other locations.
Having a kitchen was convenient. There were a ton of beds.
