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.).

AustraliaThe view from our room window was just a metal roof. Which is not a big problem. The room window was sealed it couldn't be opened
The guy at the reception has been very kind and professional. He showed us where to park our car safely and a little tour or the hotel,restaurant, pub and bottle shop. Everything was clean and tidy

BrazilIf you aren’t booking in the last minute you can find better places for the same price.
We had a comfortable enough room, very clean and just like the ad shows. It wasn't anything too fancy, but you get what you pay for. It's located 8.6km away from Newcastle city center, so if you're traveling by car, you'll be fine. It was a great option for a last-minute reservation during the holiday season. The highlight of our stay was the attention we received from a lady at the reception. She treated us really well and gave us detailed information about the accommodation and the city. She even told us about a Kangaroo reserve close to the hotel, which was a delightful experience. I would definitely stay there again.

AustraliaOverheard underhanded comment from bar staff to patron about us being hotel guests. Reception in shop. Car park difficult to access (due to road works and as access to behind the pub got blocked off late at night meaning we had to walk around the block to get to the hotel entrance.) Price seemed a little steep for basically being pub accommodation. Bed and pillows weren’t very comfortable so I had very little sleep.
Central location to drive to things. Clean. Mostly friendly staff. Lift. Couldn’t hear pub. Problems fixed quickly.

AustraliaOn street parking. No where to make the tea and coffee (no table/bench space), small room, Not particularly cheap given how far it is from the centre of Newcastle and the beach.
Couldn't believe how quiet the room was given that we were above a busy pub on a Saturday night. Comfortable bed, tea and coffee making facilities, mini fridge, good size TV, very clean. Great food in the pub downstairs!
