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):
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.
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.).

VietnamThe property is on the top of a hill, so not ideal if you don’t have a car. Dogs barking at night made if difficult to fall asleep sometimes.
The view was amazing and the hosts were the best I’ve ever had. Ricky was super helpful and welcoming and genuinely interested in us having the best time. We had a little issue with the wifi that was solved promptly by replacing the modem. He also booked a car and airport transfer for us. Also gave us a lift uphill one day. So kind! The house is beautiful and clean, amazing sunset from the balcony every night. One of the most beautiful beaches on Mahè is only 5 minutes away by car :)

It’s a really lovely place to stay and explore the area. We could have stayed here longer if our itinerary allowed. The unit is fresh, clean and uncluttered. The bathroom is modern and has a fantastic shower. Air conditioner in the bedroom is quiet and the glass sliding doors open onto the tiled veranda. There’s a washing machine too in a separate room. We thoroughly enjoyed our ocean views of Therese Island and the gorgeous sunsets. A few minutes drive to the wonderful Port Launay beach where you can enjoy a swim, book your snorkelling trip or a hire kayak. Also a a short drive to the start of the hike to Morne Blanc & Tea Factory. Ricky was very friendly, responsive and knowledgeable about what activities we could do in the area. Highly recommend.

SlovakiaNothing, it was all great.
Ricky is an awesome host, he took great care about us all the time. He is very helpful and he grows the best papayas in the world in his garden :) thank you! The place is spotlessly clean! There was nothing missing in the appartment. The terrace has an amazing view, the road is near but it is a very quit one. There is a private parking included. There are some bus stops near by, but it is better to have a car on this side of the island (as the road is very steep).

DenmarkWe made dinner in the apartment almost all days, so we used the kitchen a lot. We could have used one more bowl, a scissors, a heating pad, dish towels, and a can opener.
It was a perfect place for us (two adults and two small children). We loved it, and our host was so nice and helpful. It was clean and the view from the balcony was amazing. Also, the Creole Dinner that our host made for us one day (600 SCR) was delicious! We would definitely recommend this place.

HungaryActually everything was good, maybe the kitchen equipment, which is a bit short, but if you don't plan to cook, there is plenty.
The host and his family are very nice and friendly. Ricky went out of his way to answer all our questions (we are very curious so this is a big task :D) The accommodation is comfortable and much better than we imagined. Spacious, large rooms and surrounded by modern facilities and surroundings. The beautiful views and the pleasant breeze overrides the heat. We recommend it to anyone who wants to relax and come "home" to a pleasant environment.
