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.).

CanadaThere are a lot of stairs to get to the guesthouse. If you have bad knees or heart it may not be for you
We had a wonderful stay here. It is a rustic guesthouse with access to the private pool. It was perfect if you are looking for an alternative to a resort. There is a small kitchenette and sitting room with a loft bedroom. I normally hate firm beds but slept great here. There is a/c for the bedroom. For us the pool is what really made this place. We saw the owners at the pool once and other than that it was like having our own private resort to ourselves. :) I got screwed up on my dates due to crossing the international date line and the host was amazing about correcting it without any extra charges. Very responsive to all my messages

United StatesIt could have been cleaner. For example the shower curtain was rather slimy. Once we talked about it with the owner/staff(?), it was fine, but one night we were surprised one night to find a dozen bugs in the bed. It turned out to be termites that had lost their wings and if you left the lights on upstairs at just the right time around sunset, they would collect. After talking we found this could be easily avoided by not leaving the lights on around sunset. And we weren't bothered by them again. Apparently it is an issue all over the island. So, it's not specific to here.
The location was great, away from the city, but not far from so many things. The chalet was cute. The pool was great. Up the hill, you got an amazing view, especially at sunset.

CanadaNot the cleanest, esp kitchen counter and a bit mouldy smell in kitchen drawers. In a way not surprising in such wet humid climate and wooden open construction but some thorough cleaning would improve this cabin tenfold. Some lightbulbs in the cabin and along the footpath to the pool either not working or not there.
A gem find. The architecture of the free standing cabin is very interesting, but above all it's very charming. The solutions to water runoff are very impressive on such a steep lot. Nice theme throughout. views from the pool patio and the garden swing are beautiful. Hosts very discrete (we just heard them entertaining on their own patio but they stayed reasonably quiet and we did not get to meet them during this stay). The sink and fawcet fawcet in the bathroom are quirky and very neat.

New ZealandJust like everywhere else in the islands you will hear the roosters, the dogs and other small animals making noise all night long. This property is accessible by big long stairs outside and narrow stairs inside the tiny house which might not be for everyone.
We hired a scooter to go around and the owner let us park it in the property so it was well secured. This tiny house is lovely and very private with easy access to the swimming pool and a view over the bay.

Sofa a little uncomfortable (table in the way which couldn't be moved), no lock on the toilet door (which blows open when breezy, )limited glasses and cups. During a rainstorm the roof leaked and blew the electrics - Freddy helped as best he could but work needs to be done....
