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.).

PolandI liked the place a lot. The location is great, right next to Baleal's picturesque rocks with great views on the ocean, and very close to main Baleal's places to go like the Washed Up bar, the supermarket and the coffeshop. The main beaches are at a walking distance. At the same time the lodge is not on the main street, so it's quite at night. I took private surf lessons there, and I loved them a lot. The teacher Guilhermo is a talented surfer and an experienced teacher, and a great guy in general. The staff, basically Elena - the manager and the soul of the place, is very nice and hospitable and always ready to help. Elena provided all the info about the town that I needed and was always open to talks or questions. Great people are what keeps the place and the town together. I'll definitely come here again when I'm back in Baleal. Thanks!

United StatesSurfness Lodge is a lovely surf house! The women working at the house made my stay exceptionally wonderful. They were so warm and welcoming. The house itself is very very clean, and upper semi-private terrace, that was part of room I booked, had sea views. Wonderful surf is just a short walk away. I would definitely stay here again!

The hosts are awesome! Naomi, Elena and Nilson made to we had everything we needed and showed us around town. We had a great surf trip. It was super handy to have the waves outside our window and boards for rent downstairs.

United Kingdomcould do with access to the back of the property without going through the living room but that’s being really picky and to be honest it isn’t much of a bother.
It was kept clean (kudos to the staff) with all the facilities that we needed. As we were on a surf trip it was nice to have someone to hang and wash wetsuits, store boards and chill out to after a surf. We liked how relaxed it felt, always felt welcome and had fun interacting with other guests and staff.

United StatesHonestly, there is nothing to complain about here.
This place had a chill, friendly vibe. I felt so at home here. It was clean and well organized. The kitchen even had a knife sharpener. The host was honestly the best host I have ever met at any hostel or guesthouse. He was very friendly and polite, and really took care of his guests. The location was just a few steps from the cliff overlooking the water, and a path down to the surf spot. There were restaurants, a grocery store, and a car rental within one block.
