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.).

DenmarkIt would have been nice to know that I should have brought my own lock for the safety box. Should be very clear in instructions.
The Charlet was great, just loved quiet evenings in the hammock and the breeze from the ocean, the monkeys in the trees and very important, the beds was wonderful and perfectly clean. Nice breakfast 🍳

TanzaniaWe ended up switching to a different style of rooms with better amenities, but those ones didn't have the beachfront view. The cottages with the beachfront view use a shared bathroom with other guests and it wasn't clear during the booking that this would be the case. We easily switched and there was no problem, but we did have to pay a slightly higher rate.
Great location, very relaxing and good for a quiet but affordable retreat from the city. The food and drinks were also very affordable, including the seafood.

GreeceIf you hate bugs, this place is not for you. It is a luxurious hut, meaning no windows... I would have loved a kettle and coffee/tea in the room. The lights are very dim, impossible to read a book at nighttime
Very green and natural location with mangustas, monkeys and birds' singing, amazing beach, very clean facilities and good breakfast. Great view to the ocean, it is very relaxing sitting at the hut's veranda. The bed was very comfortable, we slept great. We loved our stay there and definitely recommend it

United StatesThere was only one outlet, but we had several devices to charge. It would help to bring an adapter to accommodate such need.
Room accommodation is basic but very adequate for the area and climate. Smart design. One sleeps upstairs, which makes good use of the sea breeze. We did not feel a need for air-conditioning.

GermanyIt took 2 days for me to get a towel and cushions for the beach chairs would great. The food is very good, let’s say mid-range to expensive. But a bottle of water for 2500 is way overpriced. Unfortunately the WiFi did not work at all and in the common area, you would have to pay extra.
Simple beach huts directly on the beach. Perfect if you like it simple and want to stay right on the beach for a good value. The room had a bed with mosquito net, fan and table. The room was clean in the beginning but due to the natural ceiling, there was lots of „nature“ falling on the bed. The staff is friendly. Either I got lucky or they really decreased the volume of the Musik in the neighboring place.
