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 reviewDelightful hotel in the heart of downtown Batroun. Marvelous staff, very quaint and charming hotel.
the photos are misleading as is the 5 star that can be seen when first viewing the hotel. The hotel website has also self-classified as a luxury boutique hotel which it is NOT. I actually went to the hotel assuming that the jacuzzi was a full sized pool!! The work of an over zealous photographer obviously. Also, it is important to note that when you book you are actually assigning yourself one of the seven rooms available, so read the fine print!!! My room was charming BUT tiny, and honestly not fit for two persons. Its for one, simply because it can only fit ONE armchair. Also, it says its 'beachfront' it is NOT, it overlooks the port where the boats are, you cant access the beach from it. You need to walk for 10 mins. Again not a big deal, I just wish they were clearer. Also, the bathroom amenities were lacking (please pack your cotton buds and makeup remover cotton) and the bathrobe and towels have seen better days. That said, I would go again without hesitation now that my expectations have been managed.

Overrated. Food was not up to the standards and room price was extremely exaggerated
Dear Booking, I hope this email finds you well. Unfortunately, today we had a bad experience on check-in reserved from booking. Those guests thought that they make a reservation for the sunset room with a full sea view and a terrace meanwhile they made a reservation on the sunrise that is a completely different room. These client we're looking for a sea view room and they choose the least expensive one but were disappointed when they realized that it's not a sea view and asked for an upgrading which we offered them for a reduced price they stayed in the room threatening the staff with a bad review we respect your organisation but we do not appreciate such clients so we ask you to keep our claim for future consideration. We hope to hear from you soon. Best regards, L'Auberge de la Mer.
