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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

Nothing, just be aware there’s no aircon and a few load cockerels around but that’s all part of island life!
Mon and his family were really welcoming! The room had a big mosquito net and large fan which we were grateful for in the heat. There’s chairs out front and a lovely garden for you to enjoy a cup of coffee. Free coffee/tea, water refills and a hand drawn map of the islands were nice touches that made our stay even better! We liked the cats too!

I understand it's hard to get on the island but no wifi. wished there where a few more services than just accommodation.
Location is a bit further from "center" so it's more quiet. And nothing is really far anyway. Large mosquito net and comfy bed. Friendly owner, Simon even lent me some fishing gear.

Could do with a new mosquito net .
Amazing stay at Mon and Srey Long's place in M'Pai Bay. Lovely hosts that made us feel very welcome on the island. Good location very close to main bit of town and also 10 minute walk to a beautiful beach. Good size room with comfy bed. Nice outside garden seating area. Cute cats too! Basic accommodation but good value for money on a paradise island.

Accept that it will be hot (as are all the non a/c options I guess). But other than that, it was great.
Amazing spot! Big fan to cool down and quiet spot on the island. Still it's very close to the beach (5 a 10 minute walk) and even closer to the restaurants. They offer a fun map to guide you, free water refill and a shortcut to the beach. The room had a nice mosquito net and a place to sit outside. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely family run guesthouse. Really helpful owners who answered my (many!) questions and helped me book a boat to go snorkelling. It looks like it’s far from the main part of the village on the map but it’s a 5 minute walk maximum.

Nice place à bit away from the bar musics, to be in a peaceful place. The owner is very friendly and fluent in ebglish, always available to answer to all your questions and help you! Perfect stay to chill on the beach, snorkeling and see biolulinescent plankton!

Nothing to do with the accommodation, but the bay itself is pretty run down and there is a lot of trash.
The host, Simon, was very helpful and nice! Curry and Fred, the reception assistants/cats where always there to brighten your day 🙂 Nice and clean rooms! Free water refill

Mon (Mr) runs a very good budget property within 5 minutes walk to the village and beach. He is very helpful and solution focussed. Complimentary water, tea and coffee available and kettle in the room. Mon alerted us to a magnificent Hornbill bird in the trees in the garden. Quite a sight. A lovely family to stay with.

We had an amazing stay at Baloo!! The rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable, the gardens are beautiful and peaceful and the family so kind. It is tucked away in a beautiful corner of MPai Bay, but only a few minute walk to the beach. Highly recommend!
