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 listing said room with lake view, in fact it referred to the property as a whole, most rooms give on the street, only the family room has view towards the lake. That was a bit disappointing but I still enjoyed my stay. The location is great but there are very few restaurants or shops nearby, you either need to have your own food and cook or trek back to town - it's only 10-15min walk to the centre but starts with a steep hill so it still requires motivation to brave it, especially if it's raining!
Quiet location a bit outside the centre of Castro Nice, comfortable room, hot shower Common space, kitchen, and terrace were enjoyable

FranceThe fittings (chair, lampshades) were a bit threadbare and the kitchen wasn't spotless. The property is near a main road and there's a lot of traffic noise even at night. It's a bit of a climb back into town.
I loved my room because it had big windows on 2 sides plus an East facing glass door leading to a balcony. Basically the sun jumped into bed with me first thing in the morning. It was lovely to observe water birds in the estuary. The owner communicated with me in spite of not having English, checked me in early and recommended a good tour agency. Probably better value than the fancier boutique hotels on the other side of town.

United KingdomThere wasn't anybody there when we arrived. And we have a feeling one of our bags was tampered with; my daughter lost all her jewellery. Plus some of the kitchen equipment failed to work and it wasn't very clean
The view was spectacular and I slept fantastically. Shower also good. Wood burner also lovely.

United StatesThe hot water in my room lasted 2 minutes. I don't speak good Spanish and there is no 24 hr desk. I was too tired to try and contact someone to address the issue so I did not shower.
Great location. Great little kitchen for guests to use though not enough places to sit if all guests are cooking and eating at once. Beautiful little street. Enough street parking. A 15 minute walk to the center up hill. Several good restaurants on the street. Staff was friendly. Check in was easy. Family room had a plug in heater that worked great. Snuggly duvet cover.
