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 location was fantastic
The amount of email messages from zen group was bombarded me with and it was so hard to find the email that had a link with the information we needed One email is enough and you should not have to search links to find where to park and pick up the key we spent 2.30 hours walk up and down trying to find how to get into it , if it was not for the security man that helped us and went out of his way to find the lock box after many phone calls that he made we would still be walking up and down We rang the phone number over and over to no avail ,no one picked up and no out of hours number It was after 9pm before we got into the unit it must be made easier it is ok for you ,because you no where things are we did not One email with the information we need is enough to send and no one wants to spent an hour looking at all the emails and checking all the links, which every time there was a link it gave a warning not to get scammed so I tend NOT to open thing like that ,make it easier and answer the dam phone However we were pleasant surprised with the unit but that night was a right off

Verified reviewThe location was perfect and the flat was really very nice indeed, with more or less everything that you could want and very clean.
This stay was overshadowed by problems with an extra night that we had booked at the start of the trip. We were arriving around 2am and decided that we wanted to book an extra night to allow early check-in. This was all done well in advance, and a full extra day paid for. However, we were not sent the lock-box code in time to actually use it and no one answered the phone in the middle of the night, so we had to book-in to an airport hotel. The hots were very apologetic and refunded the payment for the extra night, although the refund was actually less than we paid! So the overall experience was somewhat distressing.

Verified reviewExcellent apartment, very spacious, comfortable furnishings. Nicely equipped kitchen. Large balcony and fun views of the ocean, cruise ships and tanker traffic. Quiet location with restaurants and bars at your doorstep or within a few steps. Easy walk downtown to shop, swimming in the lagoon or wave pool a few feet from your building, highly recommend staying here.
We had a slight amount of difficulty retrieving the key from the lockbox because we were driving a tall van that couldn't fit in the underground parking. We had to walk into the parkade to get the key. But that was our fault, on the positive side there was ample and inexpensive parking in a large outdoor lot.
