Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 States of AmericaRain was intense, but not as bad as the other islands I'd heard.
Breakfast was incredible. Hot tub was beautiful. The porch, living room, dining room and bathroom were all warm and wonderful. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and maintained.

AustriaNothing... everything was top... maybe good to mention: it's in the middle of nowhere (but good to start all trips), so maybe be prepared and buy everything you need (food) on the road somwhere, so you don't have to drive out the area all the time (there's also a little corner store and with little street food 4 miles away)...
I don't know where to start... the house in the middle of the jungle... the shower/hottube in the middle of the jungle... the open-minded people (incl. the area arround)... the possibility to feel free and nude where-/whenever you want... i think there's a maximum of 10 guests if it's fully booked, so you can get in touch with everybody if you like.... check-in was super easy and uncomplicated... Ashton and his partner are super nice hosts and care a lot that you feel comfortable, there are really great.... the wifi was top, it was very clean at all and the kitchen is well equiped... i'll definitly come back... highly recommended for mind-opend (naturalist) people...

United States of AmericaIt is not for everyone, but outstanding for the right people looking for a unique experience. I had zero interaction with anyone and was surprised that there were not more people visiting. When I first arrived, I did not feel comfortable and thought I made a mistake. Even by my standards, it was a bit awkward just walking into a house without any host. However, it did not take me long to begin seeing all the potential. I will return.
It was very unique. Had beautiful grounds and a great wooden hot tub. Close to a great beach. Did not get to meet host but was able to get situated and comfortable on my own.

United States of AmericaHonestly, nothing.
Amazing peaceful and free spirited natural spaces, friendly and helpful staff, clean, cozy and authentic laid back Hawaiian pace of life. Minutes from the black sand beach. This has been our most remarkable stay in a lifetime of travel. We really felt welcomed and as soon as we got home we re-booked for a return stay. Special shout outs to Mat, JoEL and Ashton, all who set the tone with such a generous, welcoming, sincere openness. See you all on our return! Perfect for LGBTQ+ and lovers of clothing optional spaces. Amazing hot tub, outdoor rain shower, BBQ and lush tropical gardens.

AustraliaThe accommodation was great. Loved the garden room with the sounds of nature. Accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the hot tub was a great relaxer at the end of a busy day. Accommodation was close to the volcanoe park and in a great, friendly community close to the beach. Travel was necessary to other parts of the island, which is a normal expectation when visiting Big Island.

United KingdomWe should have been more prepared bringing more food with us. The markets in Pahoa aren't far but you are in a somewhat remote location and should prepare as such.
A great stay in a unique property, with friendly owners. It was a great experience, truly unique. Everyone was super welcoming and showed us the local sights.

United States of AmericaBeautiful and welcoming queer retreat with top-notch facilities and an amazing garden. The Garden Oasis room is a gorgeous screened-in terrace, the perfect place to dream with the vibrant sounds and scents of the rainforest all around you. Two inner guestrooms are also available if you prefer a dryer and quieter experience. We enjoyed socializing with the friendly host and other guests in the shared areas, and heard great things about the weekly gay BBQ event on Mondays.
