How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

- • Superior Double room with Return Transfers

Our room is in the third floor and there's only stairs. Only one big refillable bottle is provided in the room, and you need to go down and climb the stairs again to refill it, although the staff was kind enough to help in our case when we didn't bring our bottle down.
They provide transfers from and to airport and they were able to pick us up even when our flight is quite late, however we didn't expect that the transfer is only available after 7AM, meanwhile our seaplane is very early. fortunately the staff were able to help us with a taxi to get to the airport. The breakfast is quite basic with bread, jam, butter and egg and they'll offer you coffee and tea with masala, we didn't try the dinner because we already ate outside. The staffs also mostly very friendly and served us with smile.

The walls are paper thin and you hear everything. If people next door are talking, watching tv, opening and closing the door, going to the toilet, if their alarm goes off - you will hear everything, like it's happening in your room. We didn't have good rest at all and were constantly woken up by our neighbours. The bed sheets and blankets were very old, possibly older than me. The staff means well but are not reliable. The man at the reception confirmed 3 times that we get shuttle to the airport at 6:30 am. We set alarms, got down on time only to be told the shuttle will be here at 6:45am and then we only left at 7am. We were very stressed and almost missed our flight, came to the gate when they were boarding already. Not a nice end of vacation.
The people working here are friendly and mean well, try to help. We did get the complimentary transfer from and to the airport which was the main reason we booked this place

In the room the shower wasn't working properly, no soap, no cleaning service (we spent 2 nights) and towels were not replaced. Unfortunately the humidity was super high and towels were always wet.
The transfer to airport was convenient. The staff of the hotel was friendly as well as the people working at the restaurant just outside the hotel.

First pick-up point in airport since we arrived as a group they have squeezed the guests to fit in the car, though we even take taxi instead going to hotel since they will not comeback. (Even if supposed to be included on what you pay for) Second there’s no elevator in this property so be ready for a stairs specially if you will stay in 3rd floor (not recommended for elder guest or traveling with baby) Third check in process was worst. Small reception the receptionist was totally confuse if you going to check in as a group or family. Fourth room wasn’t up to date, it’s not clean as other properties (for the same room rate), the wash room will be too slippery when it gets wet and there’s no even floor mat (we have to asked for it). There’s a mosquitoes in the room (bathroom specifically) Fifth the breakfast was a big NO. Can be better they don’t even offer water automatically (you have to asked for it) there’s no option for breakfast and the food wasn’t even hot feel it was like left over. Cut fruits is apple which is even already brown. Overall for the room rate of this property that you will pay, you can even get to other hotel with much much better facilities, airport transport, breakfast and staff. Not worth the money!!!

I literally liked nothing about this hotel. Everything starting from food to room service was very poor. There were no elevators, no buffet, however it is claimed to be a 3 star hotel. Only Plain rice and meat stew was served in dinner. It was not value for money
The staff was very welcoming and friendly.
