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.).

GermanyThe breakfast was just a already prepared tray with a cold hashbrown, cold scrambled egg and sausage with a very tiny piece of cheese- you had to ask the staff, to reheat it at least in the microwave
The room was a fully fledged apartment with kitchen, seating area etc.

United StatesThe only issue we had was the stairs being a bit steep for my elderly Dad.
We couldn’t been happier to call this home for almost three weeks. It really became our home away from home. The staff communicated efficiently to arrange for airport pickup and greeted us upon arrival despite a long wait at the airport. They even kindly offered to get a cake for my son’s birthday the day after we arrived to help us celebrate it. The owner and staff were so kind throughout our entire stay. They helped us with every request, folded and washed our clothes promptly, made nutritious breakfast, cleaned the rooms well, provided beach towels and treated us as family. We made some forever memories here and great friends! Thank you so much for accommodating us! We really appreciate Kate it!

MexicoSmall things like would be nice to have an option of herbal teas for non-caffeine drinkers. Some may want a pool or more buffet breakfast options but I don't think any of that took away from the beauty and grace of the place.
Highly recommend this place, I felt so at home, the staff were super friendly and welcoming, the rooms are so nicely designed, I travel a lot and this may be one of my favorite room setups I have stayed in. I loved it, there is even a kitchenette you can make your own food, the view is incredible.

PortugalBreakfast choice was very limited and always the same everyday, it was not a buffet. The hotel had no pool, the only common space was the top floor where breakfast took place. The price was too high for the offer but prices are very high in Palau and in relation to the touristic offer.
The hotel is centraly located in Koror and the room was very big, actually a studio with equipped kitchenette. The owner and team were very helpful to book tours and taxi. A transfer to airport was included. Internet worked pretty well.

United StatesIt was a bit expensive. I wanted a half day rate since I was flying at night and that was offered, but only until 6. I wish there was a pool. The worse thing was that there was no wifi in the common area on the roof (where breakfast was served and could be used for lounging, but I couldn't skype my kids from that space so brought down the breakfast tray each day to my room)
I loved that it had a clothing rack and fan and well-stocked kitchenette and two chairs and a coffee table for a living room element in addition to the very comfortable beds. It was a nice size, with a balcony. Great attention to detail and decoration. I had to dry scuba gear and used the laundry equipment well instead of packing wet gear. Breakfast was lovely too with eggs instead of Chinese style dinner food. Very nice hotel.

I stayed at Garden Palace for two weeks during a work trip to Palau. It was spacious, clean, overlooking a green area. Away from the traffic / noise of the main street but close enough for easy access of restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacy etc. The owner and his staff were great, paid attention to detail and always available to help. The laundry service was at a reasonable rate and much appreciated during my long trip. A good breakfast was served on the roof terrace every morning and we were able to use the terrace for work meetings. There is an area to rinse and dry diving equipment although I did not use this myself. Overall a great stay!

The staff are so kind and helpful! They let us check out around 15:40 so that we can come back and take a shower before we take our flight, which is really what we needed, cause we went to the waterfall in the morning and got wet, would be so nice if we can take a shower before we take the plane!! Thank you so so so much for letting us check out late! Really appreciate!!

Oya and the crew at Garden Palace were amazing throughout our stay. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, all while not being overbearing. We stayed in two different rooms during our stay: 201 and 305. They were nearly identical, both spacious, spotless, and well appointed. Every amenity I could think of was available in the room and there were opportunities to cook for ourselves with a toaster oven and stove should we choose. The sliding door to the balcony allowed us to let in the morning breeze and also look out over the rainforest below. Breakfast on the rooftop was always a highlight. There are places on the roof to also dry suits and other items from the day's excursions (thought there are also drying racks in the rooms and there is a balcony too!). The crew helped us hire a car during our stay, arranged for airport transfer, and provided recommendations on places to shop and eat. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

United StatesOya and his staff had excellent hospitality and were very accommodating. The shuttle service to and from the airport was a welcomed inclusion to the room rate considering our flights arrived and left in the very early morning hours. Our online tour got canceled before we arrived and the front desk (Oya) was very helpful in finding us a tour on the day we had previously wanted. Overall a very serene and enjoyable stay.
