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 reviewGood location. Great dogs.
Noise from the street. Old fixtures

Verified reviewThe location was second to none. Absolutely perfect for my needs. A grocery store and mall right across the main road, restaurants galore, and a coffee shop at the corner. Yet, set back in a quieter neighborhood without as much traffic noise. Like I said, perfect!
There was no hot water in the private bathroom. I had to use the shared bathroom for my morning showers. Also, it rained one day and the ceiling in my room leaked. Thankfully, it wasn’t above the desk where I had my laptop.

Verified reviewGreat property! Very comfortable room with A/C, fan, and private bathroom. My favorite part were the two sweet dogs (if you're not a dog person, don't worry, they are very calm and independent)! Good location - near restaurants and a grocery store. There is also a spa nearby that was excellent.

Verified reviewThe location was very close to were I needed to travel, it was comfortable and the staff was very friendly and caring.
The room I stayed at had a desk and a bed, I did travel with a laptop, so naturally I wanted to use the desk, but the only power sockets I found were on the other side of the room, so I mostly used my laptop in bed. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I feel the position of these two could change

Verified reviewJohn is a wonderful host. The property is ideally located. 2 minutes' walk from restaurants, supermarkets. Very quiet. All is available besides the room: a kitchen, a living room, 24 hour access, the airco, the fans, big bathrooms, a desk and chair, a beautiful patio and swimming pool. I warmly recommend Duplexu to travalers alone or in family. For vacation or for business.

Verified reviewJohn is an excellent host and I immediately felt at home in his house. The two dogs are very friendly and cuddly. The house is centraly located and there is a grocery store within walking distance.
The kitchen and the outdoor area could be a bit better maintained.

Verified reviewReviewed: 3 September 2023 · Stayed in September 2023
Verified reviewIt is more like a home-stay, i.e. it is actually a gated house with many rooms and all essential facilities. This means you feel more relaxed and safe than at a hotel/motel. There is a shared kitchen, and shared toilets, all clean and well maintained. John is an excellent host. He is friendly, and always available. The property is located very conveniently, in a nice neighborhood, with restaurants, supermarkets, coffee shops, etc., around. The added part is the rescue dog, Goya (that's what I guess John was calling him), who wants to be your friend and play with you. There is even a pool, which I didn't get time to use. There is coffee and tea in the kitchen. I found the place very homely and welcoming.
I thought I should have received bath towels and soaps/shampoos/conditioners. I am sure had I asked John he would have provided it, but I like it there in the room when I come. I had to unpack a bit to find mine (then worry about wet towels while packing to leave).
thanks so much for your wonderful review! All the best
