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.).

AustraliaThe initial response regarding a late check in , which may have come from the owner or the agent was unsatisfactory. I called and spoke to the owner who was more obliging. Expect to pay for arriving after 6pm. Annoying policy because transport is not always reliable and delays happen. We arrived at night and if it was not for an experience taxi driver we would have not found it ourselves. A small in distinct plaque well above eye level on the outside is not sufficient day or night.

SwedenThe TV does not work, and there is no controller to open and close the air conditioning. I contacted the manager of this room, but there was no quick reply. After several days, there is a reply, saying that the TV does not work, and the air conditioning cannot be controlled by the guests.
The location is good, and it is possible to check in early.

AustraliaThe shower/toilet/sink are all in the same space (which is typical for Bulgaria) but this was a problem cos the water didn't drain easily, meaning you are standing in a puddle using the sink after showering. Also there was no hook to hang my towel on, so I had to lie my towel on the floor outside the bathroom. Some more hooks and counter tops in the main room would also have been nice. Hopefully these things can easily be fixed.
Location was great, opposite an awesome cafe and not too far from the tram or metro. The bed was comfortable, nice old floorboards and secure door lock. Aircon used as heater made room comfortable.

BulgariaThe lady was extremely sweet and helpful. I loved the architecture of the building (I think it was built in 1914), but it needs considerable renovation. The rooms are clean and comfortable, however, I'd prefer them a little warmer. In my opinion the price is a bit too high for what they have to offer. Overall, I'm pleased with my stay, this place has a certain magic to it.

NetherlandsThe toilets didn't flush properly, no free parking and our car got clamped in literally less than 10 minutes (to be fair, I misread the advertised parking as free parking, it isn't, get blue zone parking permits), hallways were ice cold, kitchen literally on other side of building (have to walk outside and around), quiet hours were definitely not respected by 2 very horny upstairs neighbours, constant pushed adverts about buying a shuttle bus to Sofia in every automated message about anything despite opting out
The price (40 euros for a private sleeping room for 4 people in the centre of Sofia), the room had good heating thanks to the AC unit, WiFi was pretty good for a hostel

LuxembourgUnfortunately, the property leaves a lot to desire despite the low price. The rooms in the back of the house are very dark and humid. There is an unpleasant odor from the bathroom. Due to the lack of a designated shower area, when you shower in the bathroom, everything becomes wet including the toilet. The air conditioner is controlled centrally by the manager which is not very convenient. I have also noticed a lot of the other visitors have complained about the rules around check-in and I also do not find the system very efficient. Basically, check-in between 18:00-21:00 is only possible after contacting the property to agree on the time and for an extra fee.
The price per night is very competitive and the location is good (the as the property is conveniently located close to a metro station and within walking distance of the very city center. Please note that the neighborhood is not the best but also doesn't feel too unsafe either. The communal kitchen has all the needed items. The staff was easy to reach and very polite.
