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 reviewnothing
the property is a horror story even for a night. location is 15 min drive to airport and there is free transfer BUT what they don t say is that it s every half an hour and they pick out people from other places so you leave one hour earlier just to stay on the road. room is tiny and claustrofobic, no window just a saw called balcony of 1 m with a wood door- so either see light and be bitten by mosquitos and here all traffic noise, either no light like underground. we exchanges emails explaining our plane time is in the morning so i asked breakfast hours in order to book. that said they have early breakfast so i paid 40 usd more to have it. upon arrival we were told that there is no early breakfast but a to go version- they gave us a bag with one sandwich made of 3 slices of moist bread with nothing on it and 2 slices of orange, no coffee and 1 little water for 2 people. i put it in the trash and asked for coffee. it took them 10 min to ask if possible so the transfer came and we left. this is the worst hotel, avoid at all cost!!
Dear Ms.Mara, Maruhabaa!! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize that your experience at our hotel did not meet your expectations. We have carefully reviewed your concerns and will take immediate steps to improve our services. However, we would like to clarify a few points for better understanding: 1. Airport Transfer Please note that we sent you a detailed message immediately after your booking, explaining how the transfer operates, including the scheduled timings (every 20-30 minutes, as it is a shared service). We also offered you the option of a private transfer (exclusive to you at your preferred time) if the shared schedule did not suit your plans. 2. Room Selection & Property Details Samann Host is not a beachfront property, and this is clearly stated on our website along with photos and room size details. You booked a Super Deluxe Room, which was provided as confirmed. Unfortunately, no suite upgrades were available at the time of your arrival. Additionally, you did not raise any concerns about the room during your stay. Regarding building proximity, city regulations require narrow spacing (1.2 meters between structures), which is beyond our control. 3. Breakfast Arrangements Our email clearly stated that Early breakfast service begins at 6:30 AM. Since you chose to depart at 6:30AM from hotel, we arranged a packed breakfast for your convenience which was confirmed upon the check-in at the hotel. If you chose to depart from hotel at 7AM, you could enjoy our early buffet breakfast at 6:30AM from Our restaurant. Please note that you did not pay an extra $40 for breakfast, as our room rates always include complimentary breakfast (as listed on all booking platforms). We sincerely apologize that the packed breakfast did not meet your expectations. We will take immediate action to improve this service. For future guests, we always ask for preferences and provide available options when arranging packed breakfasts. Additionally, guests are welcome to enjoy coffee in the lobby if they arrive 10-15 minutes before departure. Once again, we deeply regret the inconveniences you faced and that your stay with Samann Host fell short of expectations. Should you give us another opportunity, we will ensure a much-improved experience. Please feel free to contact us directly if you plan to visit again. We would be honored to welcome you back. Thank you Kind Regards Team, Samann Host
