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...).

HungaryA bit noisy due to the nearby road and railway, and the water system also a bit loud.
The room was clean and comfortable, and the ocean view from the balcony was amazing. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, and it was fantastic to have breakfast outside, right next to the sea. There isn't restaurant or shop in the area. The bus stop is very close, it is easy to get to other cities by bus. The host was very helpful, he solved everything we needed!

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing.
This property was everything I had hoped for, the location directly on the beach was amazing, we ate breakfast outside by the beach everyday and the food was SO good. Rooms were clean and comfortable and AC worked beautifully. The location was great for lots of things we wanted to do and the family were just the loveliest humans. I only wished we had stayed longer.

GuernseyThe beach shelves steeply into the sea and the waves are powerful. It was no problem to bob about in the shallow water but I would be cautious about going over my height. There are no tourist amenities nearby. If you have no transport and you're happy to relax on the practically deserted beach and eat the home cooked meals, this is the place for you.
The guesthouse is on a beautiful unspoilt beach, you can walk directly through the small garden onto the beach and there are sunbeds on a terrace overlooking the beach. We ate 3 evening meals here, all were tasty, homemade and cheap. The family looked after us very well, moving sunbeds, tables and chairs for us to eat and relax wherever we wanted. The room was on the 1st floor, with a beautiful view of the beach and sunset. Lovely comfortable bed, good Aircon, functioning warm shower. When we couldn't get a Pick Me ride, our host immediately arranged a tuktuk for the same price. The dogs are absolutely no trouble and I'm no great dog lover. They are extremely well trained and kept away from us at all times.

DenmarkThat I had to leave😉
Enjoy the wonderful breakfast almost on the beach, get overwhelmed by the sunset from the garden or balcony. This place is the best value for money I ever visited. The hospitality is fantastic, whether you need snorkeling equipment,a yoga mat, dinner or just some advices, the host is there to help you. I felt at home immediately😊accepting a little bit of noise from the main road, you’ll never regret to stay here. Buses running just in front of the house makes it easy to go everywhere. I spend 7 nights there, and hope to be back😎😎🙏🏼. Marianne

GermanyNothing, all perfect!
The house is directly at the beach. Just walk out the garden and your toes touch sand 😊 very modern and clean room, with all you need (AC, moskito net, TV, ventilator, wardrobe) and a beautiful, spacious and tidy bathroom. The sea view is gorgeous, the family who runs this accomodation is super friendly, attentive and helpful. We stayed a few nights and the breakfasts were amazing (from international to local food - you could make a pick). If you need help, they will help you right away. For example: We had problems with our TukTuk we rented in Negombo and they arranged a guy to take a look at it. Amazing!
