Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Edwin and Tina are wonderful hosts! We stayed at Runway Lodge in transit on our way to Praslin. The accommodation is very close to the airport and Edwin handled our transfer to and from the airport at a bargain rate. Both hosts were delightful and kind. Definitely recommend the Runway Lodge.

the only thing that I've disliked is that there is no possibility to eat, If you want to eat something you have to go to the airport, that day it was rainiing and so I could not eat during the whole day and if you want to drink a coffee or water is not free. I think that after paying 200 euros for staying there (only daytime) at least cofee or water should be offered for free.
It is the nearest place to airport if you have a late fligth. The owner was very friendly and helpful, but the lady who was there at our arrival, did not help me a lot. THere is a nice swimingpool and the bedrooms are clean and confortable. The owner took me to the airport for free and even that it is at 300 mts, when you have luggage to take there it is a great help.

We had a delightful stay at The Runway Lodge. Tina, her family, and the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The property features a lovely pool that looked very inviting and is conveniently located near the airport. Tina even went out of her way to drop us off at the airport for our return journey. Thank you again for such wonderful hospitality—I highly recommend this place!

Beautiful guest house in a convenient location to catch my morning flight. The room itself was lovely, with everything you might need. But what makes this place exceptional are the hosts. A truly lovely couple who go above and beyond to take care of you. It was a pleasure to meet and stay with them!
