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.).

AustraliaTwo of the pillows in the room needed fresh covers. But that is something that I did not even bother complaining to the hotel about as the rest made up for it and I just did not use them.
The staff were friendly and very welcoming and accommodating with my requests. The location was perfect with easy walking distance to the beach and parking for my car. When there is a shampoo and conditioner I always love giving a higher score! Thanks for the conditioner. I will use this hotel again in the future.

CanadaThe room we reserved was not available on the first night we arrived there at 11 p.m. even though we were told ariiving that late was not a problem. So we were put into a musty and smelly room at the base floor of Casa Colors next door.We didn't know that that was not Avadia del Mar until we were having breakfast at Casa Colors and a guest who was staying there clarified. We were given an Avadia del Mar room at 10 a.m. after the sleepless hours we endured in the small, musty and dusty Casa Colors room. Two leaks in the bathroom made us very uncomfortable and they need to be solved for the next person there. The double bed for my wife and I was not spacious enough, a queen size would have been much more comfortable. The metal bed springs in the mattress were not good for someone like me who has back issues. In general, a room for guests should be properly checked before letting a guest stay in it. Little things like a soap holder in the shower would help as would a towel rack. There is one morror in the bath room but surely a mirror in the bedroom would help when we are dressing. There is no closet in the room, but in its place a clothes horse with hangers would have sufficed. But there was none and so our clothes were jumbled up on the impractical shelves and on the bed and the two chairs.
The breakfast was fine but basic. the location was fantastic. The beach is very good. We loved the water there. David and Yerli were always there to help to make us feel comfortable. David helped to organize a tour for us and was always ready to tell us what might be good to see or do. The kitchenette was very useful. And having breakfast brought up to the room was helpful.

ThailandAsked them to do my laundry but the laundry came back not completely dry. Asked them to tumble dry. They said yes and returned the clothes to me later but the clothes were not drier than before. The floor of the room was also quite dusty when I first arrived.

ItalyUnfortunately, a lot of things went wrong: - asked for the transfer service from the airport and re-confirmed twice, but nobody showed up - once at the place, I had to wait about 20 minutes as the owner wasn't on site (apparently he had to buy medicines for his son, so maybe this was just an unfortunate coincidence) - the location is difficult to find for taxi drivers and is in a sketchy alley - I wasn't given any handsoap (let alone shower gel) - breakfast was supposed to be served from 7am, but I found nobody; I texted the owner and they brought it in my room, it was ok, nothing fancy (scrambled eggs in a couple of options, that's it)
The host family was lovely and tried to make up for what went wrong. For example, since apparently there were no restaurants nearby open at that time (9pm), they ordered a delivery for me. Internet worked fine for working. They bring you breakfast in the room. The terrace has a nice view.

There was a nice breakfast every morning and the room was always clean. The room is very spacious with a nice comfortable bed and big TV with netflix etc. The place is right on the beach front, close to supermarkets, bus stop, bars and cafes. Perfect stay
