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 reviewWe stayed in this house for 2 nights and 3 days and were absolutely delighted! It's a very cozy and clean place with great attention to detail. The peaceful and quiet atmosphere allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our stay. The jacuzzi was amazing, with hot water-perfect for unwinding in the evening. It's clear that the owner takes good care of the house, as everything is in excellent condition, neat, and comfortable. A great place for a quiet getaway-we will definitely come back again!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the house cozy, clean, and relaxing. It's wonderful to know that the peaceful atmosphere and jacuzzi added to your experience—those little moments of unwinding truly make a getaway special.

Verified reviewGreat location. Nice andlcomfortable with great views. Was unable to take advantage of the outside area because of the strong winds and cold weather but nice outdoor area for good weather.
Could have been a little cleaner. There were stains on the cushions, something sticky on the table with the coffee makers, and something on the inside shower curtain.
Thank you for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location, comfort, and beautiful views. It’s a shame the weather didn’t cooperate for you to enjoy the outdoor space, but hopefully, you’ll get to experience it on a future visit! We truly appreciate your feedback about cleanliness. We take pride in maintaining a high standard, and we’re sorry we missed the mark this time. We’ve addressed these concerns with our cleaning team to ensure everything is spotless for future guests. We’d love to host you again and provide an even better stay next time. Thanks again for your valuable input!

Verified reviewAs soon as we stepped through the door, it felt as though we had returned to a place we’d always known a home we’d never left. There was a quiet familiarity in every corner, a warmth that made us feel instantly at ease. Outside, the cactuses stood tall and proud, their silhouettes framed perfectly by the vast windows that surrounded the house. The desert seemed to flow seamlessly into the space, as if the home was built to embrace its surroundings, not separate from them. The magic didn’t stop there. Watching the stars from the hot tub was nothing short of mesmerizing. But my favorite moment was the sunrise, a masterpiece of colors spilling across the horizon, painting the world anew. It was a moment of quiet wonder that will stay with me for a long time. The owners have poured so much love and thought into this home, and it shows. The kitchen, stocked with plenty of spices, invited us to create, and the grill became the heart of two wonderful dinners. There was even coffee waiting for us, a small but thoughtful touch that made mornings feel extra special. Every detail, no matter how small, seemed to say, “Welcome. Stay awhile.” The location was ideal just a short drive from Joshua Tree National Park but honestly, it was hard to leave the peace of the house. The check-in and check-out process was seamless, which only added to the ease of our stay. Liz and Colin, thank you for opening your home to us. It’s more than a place it’s an experience, a memory, a gift. We are so grateful to have been part of it, even for a short while.
The ventilation in both bathrooms could benefit from an upgrade.
Wow, what am amazing review! Thank you for noticing all of the hard work we put in! We replaced both vent fans in the bathrooms. Thank you also for bringing it to our attention!
