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.).

The location is run down and needs up keep. Pool was dirty. WiFi not accessible from the room. Had to be in the lobby or out the back to use it.

Verified reviewThe place is okay for the price, but honestly, if you spend just a little more — especially with options like Airbnb — you can find a much nicer and more comfortable place. It’s fine if you’re staying just one night, but I wouldn’t recommend it for your entire stay. The staff isn’t friendly — they don’t even say hello. At breakfast, the kitchen staff won’t greet you or make any effort to be welcoming, which makes the experience feel a bit cold. The building is old and needs maintenance. There’s a strong smell of humidity, and in my case, the bed was broken. There were plenty of spoons in the room (oddly), but that didn’t make up for the overall condition. The bathroom was actually in good shape, though. They should fix the beds, improve the smell of the place, and train the staff in basic customer service and friendliness. The area around the hotel isn’t great either — it’s not very safe, especially at night. If you go out, I recommend always using an Uber. In short, if you’re staying for just one night and want something cheap, it’s okay. But if you plan to stay more than two nights, I’d definitely recommend looking for a better option — there are safer and more comfortable places out there for a similar price.

Verified reviewThis property is well maintained and everything I need was working. Breakfast was served on time near the pool side. Calm and Quiet. Listening to the birds while having breakfast. Safety in the property was awesome. Reception staffs were very friendly and helpful.
Water pressure was low. We had a jacuzzi in our room but no use as water pressure was very low.

Verified reviewEven though things were poor, we were able to stay there last time and that was convenient for us.
We were unable to stay there even though we had a reservation. They rented the room to someone else after 2 days traveling. This is really disgusting behavior.

Verified reviewOnly good thing was the location.
Not clean at all, cockroaches in the room, water leaking from the room, toilet clogged and very bad smell in rooms. They refuse to take card and make you pay cash so that customer cannot complain to booking and be able to cancel their reservations if you don’t like it.
