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 river view was good, and I appreciated the well-arranged three-bedroom apartment with convenient facilities like an electric kettle, microwave oven, pantry top with a sink, large table, refrigerator, and a comfortable sofa. The place was clean, the air conditioning worked well, hot water was available, and the bathrooms and linens were tidy. The parking area was also spacious and well-maintained.
We originally booked two deluxe family rooms, but when we inquired upon arrival, we were told that those rooms were unavailable and the only option they could provide was a three-bedroom apartment. Fortunately, the apartment was spacious, clean, and exclusive to us, so it worked out fine. However, there were a few cleanliness issues—the dustbin hadn’t been emptied, and the fridge contained used water bottles from previous guests. The dinner we ordered was just average and didn’t feel worth the price. The breakfast buffet was also disappointing. When we arrived, there were no items available, and only after a few minutes did they start bringing out food, which turned out to have very limited variety. I’d rate the food 6/10. The worst part of the stay was a sudden water leak from the ceiling in one of the rooms, which flooded the floor. Though we were about to check out, it created quite a mess. When we reported the issue, the staff had already tried to clean it (which only made things worse) before informing the owner, who then responded rather rudely, asking why we hadn’t contacted them earlier. It seemed like a clear miscommunication on their end. Since we were already preparing to leave, we didn’t request a room change or want to escalate things, we simply paid the bill and left.

Verified reviewNear the river
The staff was not helpful and there was no hot water in the bathroom, as it depended on solar power. The entrance road was poor, service was bad, and they only accepted cash, adding a 3% fee for card payments.

Verified reviewExcellent location and room was pretty decent
Severely understaffed. No hot water is available. Bedsheets were a bit coloured. Overall accommodation has a great potential to be very exceptional property if they can focus on improving their operations, mainly hiring more staff
