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.).

AustraliaThe food was great but could maybe have a bit more vegetarian options.
Staff we so friendly. The place was literally on the water so just a 1 minute walk to the water. Relaxed environment. Hike to blue lagoon had amazing views. Kayaking around the island was easy and so easy to see sealife. Will definitely go back.

ItalyWe would have liked more flexibility with the minimum number of guests to do the activities. There weren’t too many people in the lodge and that made it difficult for us to be able to reach the number to go to the caves or blue lagoon.
Lovely location in a remote island. We enjoyed having the family meals with the other guests as it made us feel at home. We would come back!

AustraliaThe huts do not have air-conditioning so it gets pretty stuffy at night. That said, it is nice not to have the rattle of air-con units going the whole time, so the lack of noise actually adds to the peaceful ambience. The meals are communal so you have to talk to other people! If you're looking for total solitude and privacy you won't get it, but that's the island way of life.
Stunning location in paradise. Located on the beach means you get a permanent sea breeze which takes the heat out of the day. Accommodation is in tin-roof huts with en suite bathroom facilities. Rooms are very big. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming and bend over backwards to make your stay comfortable. Meals are served three times a day, at $20 per meal. You can opt out of any meal if you want. Day trips are organised by the staff, if you want to go to the Blue Lagoon, snorkelling, or hiking.

New ZealandLocation can be windy - can walk to more sheltered bay with great snorkelling, but mostly too windy for kayaking while we were there. Shower was a bit dribbly but did have warm water. I would have liked to see more of the local food on the menu but i guess they have to cater for less adventurous palates too.
Lovely staff. Nice location with grass as well as on the beach. Nice vibe with interesting people. It’s not a fancy resort but all the more charming for that. Good value for money, including drinks. Kayaks and snorkels available to use any time. Great snorkelling just near the lodge but it can be windy. It’s a really nice walk over the hill to Blue Lagoon/Oarsman’s Bay Resorts where it’s much more sheltered and there is more really good snorkelling, you can also walk along the beach at low tide (about 4km just over an hour each way). Good trips to cave and Blue Lagoon snorkelling. Some great local dishes.
