How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

A tiny tiny thing, the shower door leaked, but a large floor towel was provided which was great.
A beautifully clean room! The property owners went the extra mile for my partner’s birthday with a banner and some malteasers - thank you so much!! The property was in a lovely little town with some great options for reasonably priced food and drink. Bed was comfy, good pillows, good tea and coffee facilities and croissants for breakfast were a lovely touch. Very safe and secure with easy contactless check in. Shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

Wish they would have still served breakfast, we knew about this advance so not a big deal at all still well worth it.
Clean rooms, homey and the staff were very friendly and even gave us recommendations for places to go and eat etc. It was very quiet with parking available literally outside

The entrance is less than conventional, tucked round the back down a passage and the stairs not good for the disabled but I should have checked what floor the room I booked was on so not their fault .
The room was comfortable and cosy, bathroom was big and location perfect for visiting the safari zoo. Didnt see any staff but spoke on the phone and the lady was lovely .

It had nothing to do with the host - someone was trying to get in our room in the morning at about 8:30am, I believe it was one of other guests staying in other rooms and misrecognise our room as theirs. They were trying their keys, and only gave up after 1-2 mins, very stubborn..
Only stayed in one night so not sure if my experience can apply to most circumstances. The staff member we met was great and they did phone me in advance on the day to make sure that they had someone to welcome us when we arrived. The location of the guesthouse is excellent for people who aim to visit the safari zoo. Only 2-3 mins drive from there. It's about 10-15 mins to walk to the town centre, not too far away unless it is raining heavily (don't ask me why I would know about it :D). Parking spaces in on the street on the both side of the street. There were plenty spaces when we were there in April. However, be cautious if you park on the opposite side of the street, as cars don't tend to slow down especially if they are coming down from the hill. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, hairdryers are provided. Plenty hangers and space for hanging wet clothes if there is any. Some biscuits, croissants, tea bags, and coffee are also provided.

The only tiny niggle was the double bed was VERY soft but thats personal preference. Shower door sticks slightly and I felt bad for having to sort of slam it shut so as not to get water everywhere.
Room was well equipped, comfortable and a good size. Complementary croissants and coffee was a nice touch. Host was lovely and made helpful suggestions for food and attractions.

There was nothing we didn’t like. If I had to be incredibly picky I’d have liked more power in the shower it it didn’t stop any of us taking one so was t really a problem at all
Staff were so friendly and helpful but at the same time left us to it which was nice, the room and stay exceeded my expectations esp for the price. My children enjoyed staying there so much they wanted to stay another night
