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):
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.
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.).

SingaporeThe toilet didn't have a door but if you're okay with that, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
The room, the hospitality and the staff there were amazing! We had a good time, waking up to a good breakfast and just having a much more relaxed time in the villa. Food can be ordered in easily and all the information was available right in the room so you don't have to worry.

GermanyNothing really. It is a bit too far from the city center to walk there because of the heat, but transportation is cheap and you can either contact someone over the hotel staff or just wave down a tuktuk on the main road. So it's not really a problem.
Beautiful rooms, nice and helpful staff, delicious swahili breakfast and a wonderful pool to relax. This was the best accommodation we had in kenya. If you need a tuktuk driver, they will connect you with Abdalla, who will show you around for a good price and tell you a lot about malindi and the surrounding areas. He took us to the Gedi ruins for a half day trip, which was a great experience.

United KingdomIt would have been wonderful to have had some shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom. That is my only critique of a fantastic stay.
Absolutely perfect stay at Bamboo House. The place is tranquil, beautiful and spacious, with truly stunning rooms. I was in Room 4, at the top of the turret, with a view over the pool. Breakfast was always delicious, with lots of tasty options to choose from. And the place was immaculate - there was always someone cleaning, tidying, gardening...and just generally making everything look lovely. Location was also great. It was a 10 minute walk to the beach, and a short tuktuk ride into the main part of town, or to any of the local beach bars/restaurants/cafes. Looking forward to returning!!
