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.).

United KingdomThe bathroom was a little dated but it was not a problem.
The owners and staff were so friendly and made us very welcome. The food was good and the breakfast was excellent. There was plenty of it. In the restaurant they always topped the bread and tap water up for no extra charge..

CanadaWe booked a double room. Unfortunately after arriving, we were advised the hotel made a mistake and our room was not available. They arranged a room at a hotel 200 meters away for 1 night and we were to return for the 2nd night in an upgraded room. I understand mistakes happen but it was still disappointing and it left a bad taste in my mouth. We specifically stay at one hotel for 2 nights for our convenience during vacation. The upgraded room to accommodate for their mistake was okay, it was large and spacious but minimal and basic. The breakfast had typical items offered in Swiss hotels, everything appears fresh.
Room was clean, large, and spacious. No noise issues during our stay.

DenmarkThe host always smile at me and pretty responsive. Also provided a promotion code for the discount of cable cars The room is a bit old but it's cool to see several objects of decades ago. I stayed at a room with a balcony. Not so much surprising view but it's cozy to be there. It takes around 10 mins to walk from train station but not a bit deal. And it's quite a peaceful place

Australia(annoyingly) standard in Switzerland there was no AC and no fan in the room (and no exhaust fan in the bathroom). You could open the windows but only one of them opened from the top (which meant others slamming closed in the wind). We had most open all night as it was warm. Luckily no biting bugs. But was a bit noisy from cars and lots of light while sleeping.
Great location for hiking oeschensee. Great buffet breakfast. Great view from the room and it had a balcony. Beds were very comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Free parking and the place had a lift.
