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.).

AustraliaThere was a lot of junk in the hallway and bathroom was unfinished - it seems like the renovations have been going on for a long time and should probably be finished at some point before more guests stay there. The stairs are extremely steep and honestly a fall risk from the top. There's another loft room that only has a ladder to get up to it as well - thankfully we weren't in there. The room was extremely hot and there was only a heater and fan in the room. The doors opened onto the balcony and we had to leave them open overnight to get a decent temperature to fall asleep. I got lucky with a parking space but the parking is just a permit to leave your car overnight so if you don't get a spot then you have no parking and would have to move your car past 10pm when it's no longer free. Way overpriced for the room, definitely price gauged due to festival

AustraliaThe property is a building site with renovation supplies lining the hallway and the stairs to the share bathroom being particularly difficult to navigate. The stairs to the second floor are not for the faint of heart. Better wait for the renovations to be done. Not for people who have mobility difficulties.
The bed was comfortable. The renovated sections were very nice. For the location it was quiet.

CyprusThe house is a construction zone, the bathroom has unfinished floors, rusty grates, literal plants coming out the ground, there's a reason they don't have photos in the listing. There's unfinished construction and various materials all across the hallway and towards the bathroom. The stairs to my room, in the attic, was broken. The walls of the room are covered in mold, which was way worse than it looked in the photos. There were cockroaches in the house, I saw one in my room, two on the way up and one in the bathroom. The host was extremely dismissive and rude, just because a room is cheap, it doesn't mean that it can be in such horrible condition. I ended up leaving in the middle of the night and getting another room elsewhere. I wish I could upload videos so you could see the absolutely horrible state of the place.
I didn't like anything.

AustraliaThe room was like a haunted room. Even the stairs that were actually climbed looked old and dilapidated. and quite high The room was dark and old and at the end of the attic. There isn't even a door. Looks scary for women The condition of the room is not like the picture the homeowner posted on the website. And there are also pictures of rooms other than the attic. And I didn't think there would be an attic like this. Including delays in sending home access codes or room information. Upon arrival at the property, I still did not receive the room code and information email. The email just arrived at 3am, I hadn't stayed and was trying to get a refund. but was refused The owner offered a new room. But had to pay more so refused when booking the room. I expect to get the room as in the attached picture below.

AustraliaWe were not informed that the accommodation was under construction; the rooms were dirty and not well maintained, and some had mould. The sheets smelt like they hadn’t been washed, and some of us didn’t even get a doona, just the cover. The bathroom was mouldy, the shower was broken and dirty, there was no drainage either. We could not turn off the shower as we would be blasted with cold water so the shower was constantly dropping. No photos were included of the bathroom either, which was very misleading. One toilet was inaccessible due to buckets and construction equipment being piled in front of it, the seat was also missing and the door kept getting jammed. There were exposed wires pinned haphazardly to nails/screws throughout the place. There was expired food in the fridge, the kitchen was also dirty and water would leak from the exposed exterior “roof” into the kitchen. There were dead bugs throughout the place, including ants in the sink and cockroaches on the kitchen floor. Overall, the place was highly unhygienic and unkept and felt like a borderline health hazard. The photos online were incredibly misleading, and arguably false advertising.

AustraliaWhen I arrived (it was quite late at around midnight) there was no key in the lockbox. I rang the property manager who asked me to knock and try to get the attention of the other guests. When this did not work he asked me to walk around the small passage in hopes that the back door had been left unlocked. When this didn't work, someone came around and they found that one of the other guests had taken my room (obviously had access to my key). They then left a key for an upstairs loft room which was extremely dangerous to get to and from and there was no way to lock the hatch from the inside. When they rang me to tell me there was a key, the property manager joked that he had gotten angry at the other guests as if that was to make my situation any better. The property inside was a construction site, with building materials in the hallway. The fact they get away with $300/ night is outrageous.
