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.).

SpainA super small, cozy hotel where you feel comfortable. We didn't see anything negative in the total of 5 nights (we stayed 1 night on the way back). If you want small hotels like us 20212 is just right.
A wonderful hotel with a fantastic Restaurant on the ground floor . Super large and clean room and bathroom. The staff was also helpful, friendly . Kathie, the owner, takes care of the house personally therefore the house has a Very cozy atmosphere

United KingdomWe were one of the rooms at the top so had three flights of stairs to go up every time we went back to the room. Just something to be aware of if you struggle a little with stairs. Would also be nice to have coffee making facilities in the room.
Room was lovely, large and comfortable and we enjoyed the complimentary sloe gin. Location great for the theatre. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

We were delighted with our stay at this amazing little hotel. The room was gorgeous, the decor was lovely and the huge bed was super comfortable. The owner has thought of everything, and there is great attention to detail. Lovely little touches to really make your stay comfortable and memorable. Close enough to walk in to the city center. We would definitely stay here again, and next time we would eat in the hotel's restaurant which looked fabulous too.

United KingdomRoom and en-suite were a little tired. Didn’t enjoy the mini fridge in the bedroom which was a bit noisy, this could be moved? No tea and coffee facility in the room, but out on the landing, so not convenient really. Some work on the new restaurant not complete so wasn’t available to book when we were initially led to believe it would be open in time for our stay, some things can’t be helped.
Beautiful traditional property with lots of character, in a great location, large comfortable rooms with a gorgeous outlook.

United StatesWe were on the third level up stairs and hauling the bags was a chore but we did it and it was worth it. Because I'm gluten free the continental breakfast on offer didn't appeal (though Beth assured they would get GF food) so we went into the morning hungry. We survived. There is a new restaurant going into the building so things look hopeful for a hot breakfast soon.
This quiet, expansive room was so comfortable and with its sitting area a great place to hang out. The bathroom is splendid. Beth was welcoming, informative, and accommodating. Lovely. The location was just right - a brisk walk to the Royal Mile and other attractions, restaurants and a truly great bookstore nearby, and quiet at night.
