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 bathroom was extremely small and the room was not much bigger with nowhere to sit except the bed.
The room was fairly basic but the bed was comfortable enough which matched the price. Good location close to restaurants and the Hoe.

United KingdomWas not made aware that neighbouring establishment would be playing very loud music until midnight. Then other residents came in and were quite noisy which woke me up again. The shower wasn't very powerful.
Nice spacious room and en-suite. Good location for restaurants and for the Hoe, as we were attending the Plymouth Half Marathon. Comfortable beds & towels provided.

Pub below is lovely and the room was absolutely fine with a great view out over the harbour.

BulgariaBathroom door was difficult tight to close. Lock mechanism was faulty. Old building with narrow stairs to room would be difficult with luggage. Can be loud only during the day and evening. Great sleep during the night.
Great harbour view. Clean. Friendly. Warm. Would go again.

United KingdomThe handles on the wardrobe doors were missing. They are held closed by strong magnetic catches. It took a little while for me to work out a way to open them. The power shower appeared to have no functioning electrical supply so although the shower worked, it was not “powered” as such. The lid on the kettle was jammed shut making it hard to fill. I spent several minutes successfully fixing the lid to make it functional again.
The reception by the staff was very friendly and efficient. The location was ideal for my purposes. The room and bathroom were very clean and tidy.

United StatesJust that there wasn’t a little bottle of shower gel, having to figure out the switch for the shower heater was a bit of a turn off. The tv was also a bit difficult to use, don’t know if it was the remote but there was a delay in changing the channels
