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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

PolandI recently stayed at this lovely guest house and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere felt just like home, making my stay very comfortable. The owners were incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to assist with anything I needed. Irina, one of the owners, spoke excellent English, which made communication very easy. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming and friendly stay.

United StatesThe location is hard to find, as Google maps does not recognize the road that accesses the facility. Irina kindly met us at a gas station on the main road, and escorted us to the property.
Owner Irina is wonderful! Staff is very helpful! Facilities are spotlessly clean!! Beautiful rose garden! Easy 3-minute walk to quiet part of the lake. Very safe and secure, for the rooms and parking!

NicaraguaWe were pleasantly surprised how clean, modern and comfy was this place. Nice renovated rooms, strong wifi and secured parking for our car in the garden. Driveway to the guesthouse is quite bumpy and google might give you bad directions, but we were very well informed from english speaking owner Irina which road we should use, so there were not a problem to get there. You will be welcomed by kind security guy who will help you with a check-in 👍

He does not speak English but there is good wifi and two Italians managed to communicate with him through google translate just fine. He is very patient and very very welcoming. The location is amazing, literally two minutes away from swimming. The facilities were shared, but very clean and well maintained. The bed was comfortable to sleep on.

United KingdomThe location is a bit in the middle of nowhere so struggled with the taxi from the bus station and walking at night was a bit intimidating.
The host's were very lovely and spoke very good English, which helped when trying to organise a hike to Konorchek Canyon. The location was very peaceful and relaxing, the lake is a short walk away.

United Statesnot easy to find, although there are signs when you get close. In fact Google maps is largely to blame.
I chose the place because it was close to the lake; the compound is pleasant, and the proprietor very nice and kind (she drove me to the bus-station when I was leaving).
