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.).

GermanyThere was a stain on the wall that didn't look good
It's good located, just a few mins away from the turistic street. The room was very clean and comfortable. The small kitchen was really helpful and equipped with all the necessary. It was a very pleasant stay and the staff was great.

United KingdomReally nitpicking but because the toilets were shared would have been good to have hand towels or a dryer in them (I kept forgetting to take my towel!)
Really cute guest house with courtyard area. Loved the free coffee and snacks. Although a communal bathroom and kitchen it was always immaculately clean. Very nice neighbourhood in Sofia close to the centre

Cyprus- A lot of dust - Got a room where the shower was not enclosed at all. As a result, a lot of water ended up on the toilet and, in general, the entire bathroom floor was wet because of this - Very poor wi-fi
- Late self check-in - Beautiful and cozy inner courtyard with cats - Beautiful shared kitchen, which is excellently equipped with everything necessary (toaster, coffee machine, dishwasher, oven, refrigerator, etc.). Also, there were various snacks in the kitchen - Excellent location - Cozy room - Very comfortable bed - Adaptive heating - Laundry

GermanyI could hear the people above me walking and turning in bed. But I just put ear plugs in, then it was okay.
The location was really central, but also quiet. The guesthouse is not directly on the street, which is an advantage. The room and the kitchen looked exactly like on the pictures. All the shops and restaurants in walking distance.

SpainUnbelievable value for money. It was probably one of the best guest houses/hostels I have ever stayed in. Super cosy, well decorated, clean and comfortable. Every little detail was amazing and they even offered some snacks for free. The room was amazing and literally 1 min walk from Vitosha street. I would definitely come back to this place.
