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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

RomaniaWiFi was ok but sometimes it would cut. They have Starlink which shouldn't do that (I didn't had these issues using Starlink on ships). The location is a bit of a walk from the downtown, especially in the high-season sun.
I wanted a hotel with a nice outdoor place (although I didn't spend as much time as I thought due to heat) and this looked the best at this price point. The place is clean, free water and instant coffee in the kitchen (otherwise the kitchen didn't look like you can do much in it).

United KingdomLocation: In the town for local shops, market and bus stop. Less than 5min walk to the beachfront restaurants and bars. Size of the room was generous and v comfortable. Hammocks and comfortable areas for relaxing as well as everything practical we could have needed: a well stocked kitchen, lockable cupboard in the room, lots of airing space for drying clothes. Good wifi - there is little to no signal on Galapagos and they had a starlink that provided the best wifi we found on the islands. Code-locked front gate meant you could come and go at leisure. Staff were very helpful: helped us to understand the bus to Santa Rosa (every 15mins 8am-10pm) for the El Chato Reserve to save money on taxis and even watched our bags for us the day we checked out so we could enjoy one more beach day before we left. There were bikes available to rent from the owners but we didn't use them. Also recommend ALMAR waterfront restaurant.

CanadaVery happy all around. I thought payment went through via booking but it did not. Need to pay in cash. Staff was kind of enough to let us check in then go get cash to pay.
Lovely room. King size bed, air con and a great shower with hot and cold water. Filtered water available with hot and cold options. Very kind staff, answered all my questions in person or via messenger. Let us store our bags our last day. About a 10 minute walk to the main pier. Very easy to navigate

United StatesNone for me. But one guest told me her $500 was stolen from her room. (Edit: I am adding this line, since the owner threatened to sue me for "accusing". I don't know all the facts, and it's not possible for me to know who's at fault. I am merely repeating what I've heard from this guest. The intent isn't to "damage" anyone as I have nothing to gain here, but just to remind other travelers to be vigilant. This is not the first time I've heard someone's belongings were stolen even at a reputable place.)
Starlink is a life saver. The kitchen is also very well equipped and is kept clean. Plenty of storage (even with lockers!) for the food. It's also conveniently located next to a fresh market. Room is huge and comes a closet with its own locker as well.

United KingdomKitchen wasn’t cleaned throughout the stay, encouraging ants onto surfaces. Old rotten food stayed in the fridge throughout our stay and draining board was never cleared, which should fall on the hostel staff. A quick wipe of surfaces and clearing of the fridge would make a huge difference to an otherwise very nice stay.
only a small amount of rooms, regular cleaning of the rooms
