Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomIt didn’t smell good, there was a scent of mouldy damp. The fact that the toilet is essentially in the same room as the kitchen and living areas was rather queasy. It was hard to find: it took me about 30 minutes after arriving at Escondido drive to identify it, the house number is not nearly prominent enough. And it is very, very remote. Even the nearest hiking trail I could find was four miles away.
It was comfortable.

GermanySTAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. This was a horrific experience. My husband and I booked the stay for the final days of our honeymoon. We checked in at 10 pm and instead of finding a nice honeymoon retreat we found a health and safety hazard. To put it into perspective upfront: We are used to both, budget & luxury travel, but this place was not adequate for neither, moreover being in the upper price category. The entrance door already was covered in ants and all kinds of insects and spiders. We still entered but the room was worst. There was dirt or black molt on the sides of the wall, insects above and on the bed, stains on the couch, a broken entrance to the bathroom with nails coming out the floor. The conditions of the place did not allow us to stay, therefore we left, checked into another place and very kindly texted the host to refund the stay because it was not possible to actually stay there. The host did not reply but instead deleted the conversation. After reaching out to Booking to find a solution, the host told booking that we left before the place could be cleaned. In reality it was 10 pm, the damages in this place were not fixable with just cleaning and the host actually deleted all messages and did not reply at all. Long story short: Instead of showing basic human decency after we had to look for a new place in the middle of the night, the host even refused to refund. Can`t comprehend how someone can behave that way, especially knowing that people booked this stay for one of the most special time in their life.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. Unfortunately nothing positive to tell. The whole set-up looks like a scam, it was literally not possible to stay at the place. We had to leave and look in the middle of the night for a new place causing costs and distress.

NorwayThe room was very humid and the floor was not clean at all, there was dust and bugs coming in from holes under the window. Disgusting bugs were crawling on the floor all the time despite us keeping no food outside. The humidity left a bad small in the room, even after opening the window to change the air. The bathroom was not isolated from the rest of the room. The room is basically a basement with a bunch of old furniture that is falling apart, the bed is a net and a mattress, and the overall impression is of a sloppy and unclean environment. Honestly I understand that the area is expensive, but charging more than 200 dollars for this place is really a scam.
Honestly I did not like much of the place, it was not pleasant to be there so we spent as much as possible time outside.

GermanyThe outdoor space was not very well-maintained when I was there, but it could have been due to the low season. The bathroom had no covered windows, so you may not want to use the shower at night ;) - for me, not a big deal.
First of all, I loved staying here! The house is located off Latigo Canyon Road in Malibu, close to the Malibu County Market, the Pier, and its adjacent beaches, as well as Pepperdine University. I was searching for a tranquil place and found it here. Please be reminded that having a car is necessary, and the winding roads can be challenging at night if you are not accustomed to them. I was upgraded to a family room, which was, of course, very spacious and fully equipped with a kitchen.
