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 Kingdom.
The room was perfectly clean with lovely homemade cakes and tea and coffee making equipment - very welcome after a long journey. The bed was super comfortable, we had an excellent nights sleep. Chrissy made us a fabulous multi-course breakfast which set us up beautifully for the day. Great location for free parking, exploring Harborne, the University and Hospital. Lots of lovely restaurants and cafe's in the area.

United KingdomThat I didn’t get to meet the dog!
It’s like a home away from home. Clean and tidy, comfy bed, and a little cake in the room on arrival alongside tea/coffee making bits with fresh milk provided. Chrissie is a fantastic host with a lush personality and she made me feel like an old friend. Nothing was too much trouble, Chrissie even satisfied my craving for scrambled egg on the second morning. Great location with the high street a short walking distance away where there’s plenty of places to eat. Highly recommend Rudy’s if you like pizza. Easy to get an Uber into the city centre, perfect for getting to and from where I needed to be.

United StatesI honestly have no negative comments about our stay.
EVERYTHING! I can not say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed or wanted was provided for us. Chrissy was a fabulous host. The accommodations were spotless. The pictures did not really do our room justice. The upstairs bedroom and bathroom were roomy and so comfortable. Breakfast was a gourmet meal. Each day we were served something different. It was a feast! The location was great. An easy walk to stores, restaurants and buses. Honestly, we hated to leave. You are missing out if you don’t book a stay here.

ItalyA desk in the bedroom could be useful, but I used the big table in the common room. Finding a taxi proved to be difficult, but the bus took me to the railway station "University".
Christine is a very very good host. The rooms are really nice. The area is well served by buses and full of restaurants of different kinds and prices, moreover it is very quite, but very far from the city centre.

Chrissie the host was quite frankly superb. Nothing was too much to ask. Freshly cooked breakfast each morning, at a time that suited my needs. The bedding & towels smelt amazing and nice little touches of the toiletries and hot drinks facilities. Massive TV with access to Netflix. Lovely & quiet - barely knew anyone else was staying! (I had the downstairs garden room). Great location with all the amenities you could ask for on the high street just a few minutes walk away.

Chrissy is a lovely hostess, really friendly, warm and welcoming.
