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.).

AustraliaAfter staying here 20 plus times we were given the worst filthiest room in the place. Stained carpet, stained furniture. This is the only time we've ever seen a dirty room we did book last minute though it may have been all they had. Pretty sure it won't happen next time.

AustraliaThe only thing that didn't work for us was connecting to the wi-fi we followed as per instructions but still didn't allow us. Gave up after few attempts. Don't know if reception is suppose to put you into their wi-fi system not sure but oh well better luck next time.
Polite staff, from check-in to check-out and we could leave our bags after checkout and come back pick them up. Kudos to house keeping for moving that heavy sofa and splitting the bed into 2 single beds upon my request, keep up the great work, I see you. Walking distance to some great eateries along the same street; although they have a restaurant which we didn't try out maybe next time. Pretty quiet as the building is located at the end of the street I believe. We had a mountain view room.

GreeceThe pool seemed to be in an odd place, right beside reception. There was not much much going on around the hotel, no restaurants, nowhere for breakfast other than a ten to fifteen minute walk to the other end of Palmer Street.
The property was nice and well presented. I am used to staying in hotels a little bit more upmarket but still felt this property was very good and really represented value for money.

AustraliaThe location of the entrance and parking was a ‘riddle’ that took some working out. Disappointed that despite phoning the hotel (the day after checking out) to recover my phone charger left behind in the room, it has not been located.
The room was clean and comfortable. The location was ideal for our needs ideal and and reception service during the stay was friendly and efficient.

United KingdomThe towels were too few and a bit small but I guess I could have asked for extra. The location is a bit far out on the edge of town if you don’t have a car. However, the cabs are inexpensive and you can walk to the passenger ferry in about 20 minutes walking fast.
Very spacious and clean apartment fully equipped with everything you could need. It was very quiet and we slept well.
