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...).

United KingdomA usb point would have been good. I used one in the TV but meant I had to leave TV on to charge phone. TV didn't have any working channels. I'd either fix it or get rid of TV completely (but put a usb point in first 🙂)

AustraliaStruggled with stairs to next floor- as I hurt my foot- but that was not their fault. Would have liked a desk or somewhere to sit and use my computer. Ended up sitting on the bed- with my suitcase on a chair to put my computer on.
Breakfast was lovely. Very handy to the harbour.

United StatesWe showed up at about 8 pm. The desk is not staffed in the evening and we received no message about where to find a key. Another guest happened to find a key with our name on it at the front desk. We carried our suitcases up 2 long flights of stairs, no elevator, to find that the key did not work. We messaged and phoned the owner who did not respond until over 2 hours later. Meanwhile, it was late so we booked and messaged Lava Guesthouse, where that owner came in person to help us immediately.

CanadaThis guesthouse is on an island. We had what was described as ‘near gale force winds.’ I emailed the property to ask about whether the ferry would be running and whether it would be safe. They did not respond. We contacted the ferry who told us we should not leave our car behind because if it was too rough we would be returned to a different port. We decided against travelling to the island electing to be sure we had accommodation if the ferry did not run. We were not refunded our payment, nor did we even have it reduced based on any service cost savings the hotel enjoyed. I would advise thinking twice about booking a room on an island unless you are prepared to walk away from it depending on weather.

United StatesI was very disappointed that breakfast wasn’t available. When I made the reservation with Booking it indicated breakfast, but the dining room was closed. On a island it’s important to have this available.
The property is well maintained for an old building. Everything was clean and comfortable. Excellent location!

United StatesThe one thing that was very disappointing was the advertisement of TV. This is not the case when it only gets 2 channels. One was a sports channel and the other was some game show both were in another language with no subtitles. Most people who are staying there are not local and do not know the language and at the very least need something with su titles and only having 2 bad channels does not constitute having TV. We were not there for the TV but we do like to wind down the evening with a movie or a decent show. Also, one of the lights at the bedside was missing the pull chain to turn it off so we had to unplug it. Also, I would suggest there be more ways to plug things in.
Breakfast was ok. Not many choices. Location was great. Right in the center of town
