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.).

The breakfast has built up a great reputation and this was borne out. Toiletries provided were generous. The decor was lovely. Amanda is creative and has an eye for understated elegance. The hotel is in a grand part of Northampton near the Rugby and cricket ground. There was off road parking.

United KingdomParking facilities are not great after 5pm at night.
Amanda is a brilliant host, who goes above and beyond to help you in any way she can. The breakfast was excellent. The vibe is relaxed and homely. Amanda allowed us to book in a little earlier than we should have and we truly appreciated her kindness. The bedding was lovely and there is a wide variety of viewing selections on the TV. There are tea and coffee facilities, which we always appreciate. Park across the road and bus stop close by. The bathroom connected to our room was big, bright and had a large, luxury bath.... lovely.

Abkhazia, GeorgiaThere was no external lock on the bedroom door meaning it was open and unlocked. Not comfortable with that. The room was very cold and no matter how long I ran the tap, no hot water. I think there may have been a fault with the heating system as the owner had a little plug in heater in the breakfast room because that too was very cold.
A very twee old fashioned English bed and breakfast. It should have been a ten but will explain later why only an eight. The host was extremely welcoming. The breakfast was lovely with extra thick bacon. Could have done with a few more beans between the 2 of us though. The place was clean and the bed very comfortable. Location was great for the golf course and we found a little old fashioned pub 2 minutes down the road called Ye Olde England serving real ales. We would stay again.
