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 reviewUpon arrival I was surprised by a free upgrade. The hotel is situated in a quiet part of town. An the view on the lagoon in stunning. Decent restaurant and bar are part of the hotel.
Still some maintenance works going on, however not too much trouble for my purpose of stay.

Verified reviewThe hotel is located close to the lagoon, a major attraction. One can take beautiful walks along the shoreline and enjoy the fresh air. The staff was friendly and always willing to assist. The room was spacious, with a king size bed. The food was good and freshly prepared, although the breakfast buffet could have benefitted from a bit more variety.
Loud music inappropriate for a hotel of this nature - playing hip-hop at all times of the day at high volume The catering seemed to focus more on the conferences/workshops than on the hotel guests - every time I ordered from the menu, something was not available The place looks rundown and could do with a good revamp - extension cables were taped to floors and presented a safety hazard The dining room was not properly cleaned, with dirt showing on the floor and tables not properly set Although it is good to have security guards on site, it would have been better if they were less conspicuous, not walking up and down, both inside and outside the building, with loaded shotguns - this presented a picture of the place not being safe Hallways were used as storage rooms - instead of packing chairs away, they were stacked against the walls, and one had to navigate around them Basically, this hotel advertises itself as a boutique hotel but is does not do justice to this description.

This is definitely not a boutique hotel. It is not clean and appears to be under renovations right under your feet and over your head.

Verified reviewThe staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The room itself and the linen was very nice and crispy clean. The only complaint I have is that the patio was very dirty and dusty, but that said, once I mentioned it one of the front desk staff immediately offered to come and clean it for me. That was very sweet.

Verified reviewThe place is great. Amazing view.
It is not a 10 due to the noise. Hard to sleep and relax with so much noise from other guests especially. It is like they are talking and laughing inside your room. Early in the morning.
