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.).

United StatesThese are NOT dislikes, simply observations from an elderly American: you’ll need to do a couple stairs to enter your room. Your hosts believe in healthy living: you’ll get all your carbs & protein, but without meat. If you can’t live a couple days without bacon, this isn’t for you, but with the variety and amount of breakfast offered, as one of my dear German friends says, “who isn’t full is guilty himself” (wer nicht satt ist, ist selber schuld). You’re not in the center of town, which means your GPS is going to work overtime to find the place (use Waze, not Maps), and the social scene is local and authentic, not trendy and loud.
Entering the Tuscan garden and sumptuous room, I almost expected Fred & Ginger to come out with a dance routine, and they would have had room enough to perform it in the impeccably styled “Palazzo”. You’ll have to pry yourself out of the shower with choice of rainforest and hand-held delivery, with plenty of hot water & pressure. Early risers can stroll down to the beach, joining the locals in swimming, “promenading” (to see and be seen), surfing, or chatting over a coffee. Newport Beach meets Reykjavík: kids ride their bikes w/ their boards and school uniforms in plastic bags, while older folks do their laps in the “baths” and then chat along the beach path the winds along the coast. Every comment about the generosity of the hosts is correct: from watch repair to “must-sees” in Sydney, no request is too outré for these two young (at heart) people: you’ll have to go visit to find out their ages! With so much to do nearby (Hunter Valley wines, historical villages like Morpeth) you may not have much time to sit, but the TV in the room offers multiple sources of programming. This is a favored guest accommodation of surfers and surf enthusiasts: if you want to learn about surfing or surfers, this is a perfect spot. With little shops a short walk away, this is a lovely area to “live like a local.”

The room was large with lovely furniture; huge, comfortable bed with plenty of pillow options, table and chairs, sitting area, brand new private bathroom, mini fridge with milk, tea and coffee, plus a complimentary bottle of wine. Breakfast was a lovely variety including tasty freshly brewed coffee, fresh fruits and yogurt, kindly served at a time that I requested. Both hosts were welcoming and warm. I'd stay again.
