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 reviewAan een drukke weg
The owner asked to not write a review, but I feel necessary to do it because the advertisement, reviews and photo’s are not based on the truth. The accommodation is not what you see on the photo’s. There are currently two rooms available, downstairs and next to the building is still under construction. We had multiple miscommunications with the owner which made us feel not so safe. I think it’s mainly because of the language barrier? When we arrived we doubted to stay, but we could not find something else so quickly, so we decided to stay (did not sleep so peacefully). I would not recommend this homestay for when you are a single traveler.

Verified reviewVery nice accommodation. The room was spacious and clean. I had the option without AC but a van. The rooms can get quite hot though. The host was very welcoming and served coffee upon arrival. The location was perfect, 5min away from some good restaurants and 10min to a beautiful and quiet beach. Absolutely recommened

Verified reviewThe room was big and clean , the photographs on booking. com are from 4 years ago and is nothing like the property now . Location is good for the beach and town . The host is very nice 👍
We booked a sea view room but we didn’t have it . We ordered breakfast expecting it to be like in the photos as advertised and were very disappointed that it was nothing like advertised . The owner kept saying g how expensive food items were . Think booking.com or the owner should remove the previous photos .

The Inn is next to the coast road, so it's a bit noisy.

Verified reviewSpacious room ( we had the one with AC) with a nice terrace
Breakfast… we only had a small portion of fried noodles (?) for breakfast, no fruit, nothing else. Quite disappointing from what I see is possible in other reviews here. The host would not stop telling us we should leave a 10/10 review or not review at all if it would be less. No seaview even though mentioned in booking, but that was okay for us.

Verified reviewGreat location. Not too far from the city centre and only like 2 mins walk to the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean. The A/C works very well and good shower pressure as well. The host was very helpful. Gave me informations about the bus and waited with me till the bus arrived.

Verified reviewThe location was great and the owner was very helpful and hospitable. He was always there when we left or came back. He recommended some places and at the end we have had a coffee/tea. Moreover, the apartments were clean and spacious. Would recommend!
The AC was not working properly. However, the owner directly called someone for maintenance. Unfortunatly, the maintenance was coming the next day. However, we have slept fine with a medium working AC.
sorry for the inconvenience the A/C is working properly we repaired the A/C perfectly no any problems

Verified reviewNice place just next to the beach. Its quiet and relaxing you can hear the waves in the morning. Sai is a great host and took good care of us. Its location is perfect if you have a tuktuk. If you dont it works perfectly with the Pick Me App. Defently would recomend.

Verified reviewGreat hosts, that did everything to make us feel comfortable. They accompanied us to the lagoon and made sure that we find kayaks and that both the tuk tuk driver and the kayaks take a fair price. The breakfast exceeded our expectations. There is a great beach near by that is good for kids and snorkeling
