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...).

PolandEverything was perfect. We were in December, we were worried about the temperature but completely unnecessarily - the fireplace in the suite heated the whole cabin quickly, adding a romantic, cozy atmosphere. Breakfast served in the morning at the door - bread, pancakes, yogurt, fruit, fresh juice. The whole cabin very clean, the bed very comfortable. The surrounding area is beautiful. The owners were very nice and helpful, they responded promptly in case of problems. We had a temporary power outage, we called and immediately the problem was solved. We felt special and thank you very much for that. The whole stay allowed us to get away from reality for a while. We will definitely return, and recommend to everyone.

Gorgeous property! Cabin on the mountainside overlooking the River! Includes a wonderful breakfast delivered up the trail to the cabin. The host offers an incredible platter of homemade foods and local foods for an extra price that was very worthwhile! The food was wonderful. The forest was wonderful.

I arrived in the rain and the fire was set up to be used, extremely easy and very cosy. The owners are kind and friendly and made me feel extremely welcome. The fresh breakfast delivered each morning is divine.

United States of Americait's a bit difficult to drive up the road, just a bit. nothing too much, since it is an uphill dirt road. But I feel like it's all part of the experience of staying in a treehouse.
The location was the best, hidden away in a tree cabane. Super sweet. The breakfast is served every morning right on time with a good selection of food (and deliciously feeling like it's homemade). Absolutely loved it!

We also had the most incredible view! Finally, the breakfast was delicious with fruits, warm homemade bread and pancakes, juices as well as jam, honey and cereals. They also took in consideration that I did not drink animal milk and offered me a plant based option. We plan to come back and highly recommend to anyone who wishes to connect with nature and Geres in a conformable environment :)

AustraliaSimply put, this place was a dream. Peaceful secluded location with hiking trails accessible from the property. Cozy yet spacious treehouse cabins with incredible views. The region isn't touristy so many of our hikes we saw no one else. The breakfast every morning was an awesome heartfelt touch. My wife really loved all the little details that made the cabin extra cozy. Everything was spotlessly clean. We'll be back.

United States of AmericaIf you stay more that 1 night it’s usually nice to have a dresser—not only to put away some of your things but to also have another flat surface to put things on. The room did not have one and we struggled with digging thru our suitcases laying on the floor.
The room was very nice and had an amazing view of the valley and reservoir between the trees. The shower was hot and there was a pellet stove in the room for cold evenings or mornings. The breakfast was just like in the pics-a cute basket filled with freshly baked bread, pancakes and jam, honey, fruit, etc. If you get the chance, order the charcuterie board for the evening. It is filled with bread, crackers, meats, cheeses, and dried fruits and nuts—also included in the price is a local vinho verde. It is amazing. The kitchen is nicely equipped with plates and silverwear, coffee machine, microwave, fridge, and mini dishwasher.

GermanyYou can hear the street, although it is not busy at all at night. In March, you needed to use the heating oven late at night and in the morning, which worked like a charm, however it makes a constant and also a periodic sound...we blocked it with earplugs during the night.

United KingdomOur stay at Secret de Geres was truly magical and definitely our favourite place during our visit to Portugal. The cute tree house was nicely designed with focus on the surrounding nature, located in a peaceful forest on a hill with breathtaking sunset views. We could really feel the love and care the owners put into this place, which contributed greatly to the overall experience. They were really nice people, welcoming, hospitable and responsive to our queries. The breakfast with freshly baked bread and pancakes, which was beautifully presented in a basket delivered to your door, is also hard to forget about. This stay was a very unique experience which touched our souls and will stay in our minds for a very long time. For those looking for an escape from a busy life, this one is highly recommended.
