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.).

SpainDespite the hill, the location was very central. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom was clean. The terrace we had in our room was great. Breakfast was big and tasty. Wifi worked well. The host was very polite, servicial and warm. The only thing we didn’t like was the lack of hand towels.

AustraliaBreakfast was very generous. Staff very helpful. Lent me an umbrella after I lost mine. Give me good advice about activities. Good value for money. A bit of a steep road to Guest house but that was no issue for me.

CyprusLack of power plugs next to the bed. Lack of light switches by the bed. Low water pressure at the shower, although the staff tried to fix it.
A basic hotel with a few rooms close to the main road of Ella. Main issue is that there is quite a hill u need to walk every time to reach the hotel and it will be a challenge for the not-fit people. But it's very close to all the shops and restaurants. Actually one restaurant is like 3 minutes away There is a great mountain view from the room's balcony and from outside. The rooms are very basic. There is no fridge, ac, tv, shower gel. The bed is quite comfortable. The staff was super friendly and it was nice to inform them about our time of breakfast every day. There was no daily cleaning.

IrelandGreat stay
Exceptional service from the staff. Staff name - Channa. Extremely attentive. Flexible with our breakfast and even though we were delayed and pate by an hour for breakfast, still put it on for us. Also, I left my kindle in the room and Channa went out of his way to ask a friend to drop it across the country for me in Mirissa. Would highly recommend for service and the kindness of Channa.
