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.).

PortugalThe perfect place to relax in the silence of Pai. In a few minutes away from the village center (by scooter) you have everything you need here. Max and Kat are super friendly and they have some scooters to rent there, although there is more than enough options in town.

The owners were super friendly and helpful throughout our stay, telling us the best local places to eat and best activities to do. The view from the room in incredible with mountains all around. Getting into town is super easy, especially if you rent bikes and it’s quite nice to be a little further out as it makes the place very peaceful and relaxing.

IrelandIt is at the top of a slope and the beginning hill is nasty. Wouldn't recommend over 60s.
It was so amazing to have your own little house! Peter was fantastic help. The views are magnificent from the pool and in 35°c it was so refreshingly cold. Room amenities are good, no coffee machine but you don't need it. Great little 5-10 minute walk to the night market, quiet roads so it's safe to walk. Close enough to everything but far enough away to be peaceful.

United KingdomThe hotel hasn’t been open for long under the new owners, so there were a lot of minor inconveniences and facilities that weren’t available which if improved, could make this hotel incredible. - Our room wasn’t cleaned or bedsheets changed the whole time and we had to get new towels & toilet paper at reception ourselves. This is fine with us, but in other hotels, they usually have signs to advise that housekeeping needs to be requested otherwise the room won’t be cleaned. - We had a constant infestation of tiny moths in the bathroom the whole time we were there which sadly led to piles of dead moths every night that we had to clean up. There was a fly sheet attached to the outside of the window so we weren’t sure where they were coming from, but were unable to shut the window in the bathroom as it was the only one in the building which let fresh air in. Maybe the sliding doors need fly sheets fitted so that these can be opened for fresh air too. - The location is perfect for serenity but a very long walk from the town. The road that takes you up to the hotel from the main road is about a 10 minute steep incline which was fine, but only on the days we weren’t carrying luggage, shopping or water. A motorbike is definitely recommended! - It would have been preferred to have amenities such as a mini fridge, kettle etc in the room so that we could make our own breakfast and have coffee to utilise the balcony and admire the views each morning. - Hotel isn’t signposted when you get to the top of the hill. We ended up walking into the land owners house thinking that it was the reception, not realising that we had to keep walking further to get into the hotel grounds. The owner did advise they would be adding a new sign soon though.
We absolutely loved our stay at 17Stories in the Pink room (1) which stole our hearts as we could watch the sunrise and sunset from our room with panoramic unspoilt views across the mountains. This is what sold the hotel to us and we’re so glad we stayed here as the photos don’t do it justice. The owner greeted us and showed us to our room, he was super friendly and informative. The receptionist was always on hand to help, although sometimes there was a language barrier but was always solved with google translate. We didn’t use the pool but it wasn’t ever full or crowded and it was cleaned regularly. Free tea and coffee at reception was a nice touch and better than nothing at all. We loved that there is only ever 10 or so people on site at any one time as there are only 5 blocks, so it was pleasant to be in such quiet and unspoilt surroundings. The location is fantastic if you want to be away from the town and have your own space, but be warned of the long and steep walk. The pink room is super comfortable and cosy and the panoramic views are such a staple to this room. I would recommend anyone to stay in the Pink room as it’s the best out of them all!!
