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.).

Verified reviewThe view is beautiful. Clean and easy stay as its walking distance from the beach
Not enough bedding as it got very cold unexpectedly

Verified reviewNice clean property close to the main hub. The owner was very helpful getting back to us quickly about access to the tv. Lovely deck and parrots come in the morning.
We were downstairs and although had a mini kitchen there, it didn’t have kettles, toaster etc., so have to use upstairs one. Wasn’t sure why we had to stay downstairs when there are beds upstairs. Could do with some extra heating downstairs during winter. We also didn’t find the main bed very comfortable unfortunately.

The home wasn’t cleaned to our standard and we spent 2 hours trying to get the power to work. Discovered that the fridge was faulty . We were then asked to use a smaller one down stairs with no replacement given for the main kitchen not ideal

Verified reviewLots of space for a family of 5. There are 2 bathrooms, washing machine is available and would be handy for longer stays. Linen and towels are included with the price paid. There are 2 rooms downstairs, great for kids as they have their space with a large tv and comfy lounge area.
Driveway is steep and quite narrow. Bathroom downstairs didn't have shower gel, though just a small oversight.

Verified reviewLocation was great, house is spacious and clean. Short walk to shops and beach.
The street in front of the house is very busy, the driveway is very steep and a challenge to get in and out of but not impossible. Overall enjoyed our stay.

Verified reviewThe house is close to everything and we had a wonderful time staying here. The host is very accomodating and responsive. It has everything you need for family with small children e.g high chair, board games, kids cutlery & plates.
The entrance to the driveway is steep and can easily be missed. A bit more amenities would be helpful e.g hand towel in each bathroom, kitchen paper towel but it is just a suggestion for improvement.
Thank you Vonny!

Verified reviewI spent the weekend with 2 girl friends to relax for the weekend. I would thoroughly recommend this house. It met all our expectations and we were very relaxed. Close to shops for a pleasant walk. Unfortunately we could not get the wi-fi to work for us, but we were not too concerned. We even got to experience beautiful birds come into the yard
There was nothing we didn't like. The only thing we noticed was not dishwashing liquid. So we just used the dishwasher. Very easy
Thank you very much Louise! You were great guests! Michael and Sarah

Dining room and kitchen could do with more lightings. We struggle with the dim light during food preparation and at dining table. Our sedan car had trouble going down the driveway but the suv was fine.
