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.).

CanadaDina and Robert welcomed us in with warmth and kindness and made us feel very comfortable during our stay! They went above and beyond to help us with our experience at the national park by answering questions - Robert has lots of knowledge - and by being friendly faces. They also organize private tours with skilled tour guides for those travelling in a small group. Breakfast was yummy and the dinners that Dina made when we requested them were delicious. The location of the homestay is great, a short walk to the entrance of the park. The room I booked was clean and comfortable with a fan and private bathroom. I couldn’t recommend staying here enough! It is very affordable and an invaluable experience :)

TaiwanU get exactly what they advertising. A very basic cheap Homestay, which is exactly like the pictures. But what makes this place so amazing are the owners. They really want to help u and ensure that you have a good time. The breakfast is really good and when you go for the selfcooked Dinner it will also not dissepoint in the slightest. They can also organize Tours for you with a Guide which enables you to go to caves with a very small group which was great. All in all if you looking for a basic but heartwarming great Homestay this is the one!

Czech RepublicI had a lovely stay in D-Cave, it’s a unique experience. We were able to try traditional dress, dance and had so much fun with karaoke. Dina also cooks delicious food, she's very caring and smiling all the time. The homestay is very close to the national park. After every day, I was happy to come back "home", thanks for everything!

FranceStaying at D Cave was the highlight of our stay in Bornéo. Dima is really friendly and welcoming, she organised a local dance for us and karaoke night! We got to try traditional dancing as well, and found some great friends among the other guests. Everyone was taking part during the karaoke which made it one of our most memorable nights in Asia. Breakfast was also cooked for us every morning and help was provided in organising our activities and expeditions to the national park. The stay is also only 5-10m walk from the park entrance and airport making it very convenient. I really recommend staying with this Homestay while you explore Mulu.

Czech RepublicThere was no hot water in the shower. However, due to hot weather it wasn't a problem at all.
Truly homestay, perfect host (Dina), friendly and helped us to plan all activities in Mulu, so they make sense in our itinerary. Breakfast was very nice (we even had a mangos from garden behind the house), you can order a dinner which was also tasty. Boiled water for drinking available. We were invited to a celebration in local school one evening and it was very nice and interesting experience. We can definitely recommend this homestay if you want a personal approach :-)

I had an amazing 3-night stay at D'Cave Mulu Homestay. The rooms were impeccably clean, spacious, and provided a peaceful atmosphere. What made it even better was the joyful ambiance with soothing music playing. Dina's hospitality was exceptional—she puts love into everything she offers, from the delicious and varied breakfasts, ranging from eggs to pancakes, to the availability of a delightful dinner for just 15 ringgit. It truly felt like a home away from home!
