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 reviewEverything about the place. The apartment was amazing, clean and comfortable. Cleaners came in daily and done an amazing job. The pool was a brilliant addition which both adults and the kids enjoyed. Loved the fact it was so close to the beach but far enough away it was private.
Nothing comes to mind

Verified reviewWelcoming, engaging but not overly involved - a great balance of giving us privacy and also checking in to see if we needed anything. Beds were comfy, a/c worked well, enjoyed some privacy with the pool - it was like living in a small apartment complex for the few days we were there and it is within a gated and locked courtyard. Felt very safe and it was only 1 block from a food truck park and 2 blocks from the beach.
There were some ants, but they were just seeking out water as it was drought-like conditions - they sprayed but couldn't do anything about the larger issue.
Thank you so much Kimberly for your kind words . Rhonda and I are happy to know that you enjoyed our little oasis . We are looking forward to your return. Kindest regards Jean Marc

Verified reviewIt was a nice little villa with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The settling was beautiful and the location was convenient to everything.
I didn't like the vertical blinds - felt a little lack of privacy and would have preferred cleaning as needed, rather than daily without choice.

Verified reviewPersonal experience. Owner came to welcome us on a weekend while working on a personal project. Luca addressed us secondly. He's the manager. Again very personal. No complaints. This accommodation appears to be in a very touristy town and we really enjoined being so close to the action yet tucked away in a very private location.
I thought it was a little hard to find because there is not really a sign. However, that does maybe help keep the parking clear. Maybe just one very very small branded sign so you know your there?
Hi Joshua , Thank you very much for your kind words . We are happy to see that you enjoyed your very quick stay with us .
