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.).

IndiaBeing on the main road meant the traffic sounds came through at times. It would have been great to have a covered area outside the back of the house to enjoy the garden more also.
The location could not have been better with proximity to great cafes, markets, parks, shopping and much more. The communication from the host was perfect.

AustraliaThe TV is tiny and was not suitable for the space and 3 over 60's trying to watch it. There was no wifi at the property which I didn't notice when I booked, this wasn't a big problem as the mobile data worked fine here.
The location was excellent, the cottage is very nice and had nearly everything we needed. The heating was great. The rooms were good and the beds nice and comfortable.

AustraliaOur room was great, my husband missed the WiFi. We explore in the morning and early afternoon. At around 3pm we like to get home and relax. My wife enjoys her TV and husband enjoys the WiFi.
Location was fine, a little further out of the town centre than I normally expect, but it was close to the excellent botanical gardens, especially for kid, and there is little artisian centre called the The Mill, which has a Tap brewery serves good beer, but the the Pizza's are Yum, Yum, Yum. The rest of the place you may or may not like. Husband likes to have an early morning walk, many great places to see. The old gaol, now an arts centre, a must, but only open Fri, Sat, Sun 10 to 5.

AustraliaTiny tv, but had read the reviews so we were prepared. Driveway is a little challenging but there is also street parking out the front. A bit of information about the property would have been appreciated - contact details, check out procedures, a little history about the house.
Quaint and cosy vintage home with everything we needed for a two night stay. Clean, comfortable and warm (bed and shower were great). Eclectic collection of furnishings and decor.

AustraliaIt is an old house, so the floor boards were very creaky. Part of its charm! It is on the main road so the front bedroom does have some noise, However it does die down overnight so not too much of a disturbance. And there is a very tricky tree encroaching on the driveway (on the nature strip) which makes maneuvering in and out of the driveway a little challenging
A nice quaint cosy cottage that was perfect for two couples to stay in. It is walking distance to the main town. Everything was spotlessly clean and it had all the facilities you could want. The hosts were very welcoming and called when we first arrived to make sure everything was OK. The beds were very comfortable and for the Winter months it had plenty of nice warm heating.
