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.).

United KingdomBeing so far from the town wasn’t always ideal, but would’ve easily helped with a bit more preparation from myself (like medication etc). The heat would be rough at night without a fan but it was helpful to be by the sea, with the wind!
Being only a minutes walk away from the most gorgeous beach was an absolute luxury. There were hammocks and sun-loungers for you to sit and relax. We booked the shared bathroom and I was very surprised to how much i enjoyed the bucket shower! The restaurant also was lovely, it all tasted amazing and there were so many drinks options to help with the wonderful heat.

NepalIt wasn't as "lonely" as the name suggests. There were loud parties and people yelling both nights, making it hard to sleep. Frequent boat noise added to the nighttime disruption. We also had some drunk guests confuse their bungalow with ours at night, which was a little unsettling.
Beautiful beach - perfect for swimming and sunsets! Accommodation was great and the staff, especially the kitchen crew, were incredibly friendly. Great value for money. We enjoyed the bucket shower - So refreshing!

Best place we stayed in our 3 weeks time in Cambodia! Eco friendly rooms were eye- opening to reality that we use too much electricity and water. Danny the owner has a passion for educating his visitors to be more loving to our planet Earth 🌍

IrelandWow one of the most beautiful places. Such an incredible beach. Crystal clear water. Like a warm bath to swim in it. Really so magical at night to swim with the plankton. The sunset. We loved it here so much. Dany and the crew here are all so nice and make you feel right at home. Hard to leave. We absolutely loved our stay here. So peaceful. Really nice energy here. Highly recommend.

CambodiaYou properly away from everything which is awesome but it means the only place you can eat is the bistro attached to the accommodation. The food is pretty good but it being the only place you can eat they definitely charge a bit more and you don't have much of a choice but to pay. But other than that minor issue absolutely worth it
Absolutely stunning location. Great place to turn on for a few days. We spent 4 days and it was amazing and unforgettable. Well worth it

Czech RepublicIf you are not keen on simplicity and nature then it is not a place for you. The same applies if you do not like animals (dogs, cats, birds or spiders :)).
The beach is great, the food is amazing, and the keeper is really nice guy. We've traveled around Cambodia for a few weeks and this place was one of my favourites. :)

ItalyThe place itself is a piece of paradise! The beach is stunning and the water is a cristal pool all surrounded by palm trees and wooden bungalows hidden in the back I stayed there 3 night, disconnect from everything but connect at the same time, experience a simple way of living. All the staff is nice also if they have some difficulty speaking English, but Dany the owner is a super guy it would split in half just to help you. The restaurant has a lot of choice and everything tastes great, they also opened a beach bar that runs at night were you can chill and have some cocktails. I really recommend to go there, if I can I will stop again before leaving Cambodia

United KingdomThe noisy visitors from other beaches shattering the peace with barbecues and loud music. Nothing is included in the price so be prepared to run up a bill. Make sure you have enough cash as the internet is patchy for card payments and there is a fee for doing so.
The location is the outstanding feature of lonely beach. It is very isolated and there is very little in the area. It took us a bit of time to change our mindset from travelling to stopping but was absolutely well worth the change. Dany has created a unique stay trying to resist modernity and encourage guests to connect in different ways which may not suit everyone. There is no WiFi and the mobile data is patchy at best. Travelers therefore are less hooked into a screen and more to each other. Very refreshing. There is no electricity apart from a nosolar panel on the very rustic bungalows for lights for the evening and therefore no Aircon or fan but the rooms are made to be open to take in any breeze. This means there is no electric noise, only the sounds of the jungle and the sea. The bungalows are very much made in the reuse and recycle style with some unique ways of providing a living space. There is no running water and in the bathroom is a cubic metre of water which is topped up every morning. The shower is traditional bowl shower and the toilet is flushed in the same way. There is a restaurant on site but no where else to eat that is convenient. The food is very good, plentiful and caters for dietary needs and is available whenever you want it. There is a beach bar and a very creative "gym" for those who wish to build some muscles. The snorkelling trip is a must as the corals are in pristine condition and it's a peaceful 2 to 3 hour visit with no other visitors... For Now! Sadly the land next door is for sale and Danys landlord is also wanting to sell. If this kind of escape is for you, do it soon and any philanthropists out there, please buy this rare, beautiful and very special place to keep the hands of the big money resorts off.
