Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.

Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The owner changed the building and room form what I had originally booked! However this was sorted quickly.
After an initial error, according to the booking we were in the right building and right room. However when communicating with the owner we were in the right room but wrong building! This was quickly taking care of by the owner after sending our booking details. A part from that the room and building were supper clean with coffee making facilities in the lobby. We were also able to store our bicycles in the lobby. This also a great location for downtown.

The light in the room could be controlled by a switch in the hallway. The window looks out to an interior corridor, no natural light. The noise of the bathroom vent was quite noticeable.
Very clean. Close to seaside

However, it is important to check whether the room has a window or not as it is only specified at the bottom of the description. The rooms without windows are a bit misty and the air is not so fresh.
The check-in was smooth and the information was clear. There are some snacks in the lobby.

Couldn’t stay there a second night. We could hear everything the neighbours were saying. They checked in at 2am and were talking and showering, not being loud just normal pitch but it sounded like they were in the bedroom with us. It was horrible. We don’t sleep at all… we checked out a day early and booked a different place. We didn’t get a refund but we didn’t ask for one as we had to take a nap during the day given we didn’t sleep at all. Really really really loud!
View from the room was nice

The bathroom was full of mold and the room smelled like mold, the mattress was hard as a rock and the window went to a stairwell. Checking in, the door keypad was not consistently functional

Staff around in morning to call taxis etc. I could not find a taxi on the street in front of building of my morning check out and had to walk several blocks to a nearby hotel to arrange a taxi for train station. The bathroom floor which is located one flight down from room was very slippery and so were the marble and uncarpeted staircase. Not suitable for those with balance issues or the elderly. They should put out a basket and a note as a reminder to deposit room keys. I took mine by mistake and mailed it from the Sun Moon Post Office a few days later. The place I stayed there had a basket and note at reception as you left building. The room had no windows even though the ad showed a view of the water beyond the beach. It’s not on the beach, btw. There were no cafes, restaurants or 7/11 within east walking distance.
There was no breakfast offered.
