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 KingdomRecycling of paper/cardboard rather than putting it in rubbish bag.
The setting was beautiful and the flat was warm and welcoming. With fresh baked bread hand delivered upon our arrival. The flat had all the kitchen utensils we needed and the bedroom and bathroom were of a good size for 2 people.

United KingdomNo shower curtain or enclosure, so even being really careful, the bathroom floor still gets rather flooded.
Alice is friendly & helpful, & quick to respond to queries. The location is amazing - such views! Well-equipped kitchen. For breakfast, a lovely loaf of home-made bread; milk, butter, mini pots of marmalade, jam & honey; ground coffee; packets of cereal & muesli/granola. Very comfortably furnished. Would definitely stay there again.

United Kingdomthis isn’t a negative of the property, rather a general observation. As an EV driver Dorset isn’t great for charging infrastructure so it would be a definite selling point to have an EV home charging point available (at additional cost)

United KingdomThe bathtub didn't have shower curtains. It is challenging to shower without being super cautious to not make a mess. The location was north of Dorset, so it is around 1 hour drive from most of the most popular spots in Dorset (e.g. the Durdle Door). It also took us a bit of time to find the entrance at night, but the map on booking.com show exactly where it is!
Friendly owner who cares about us. Although we didnt get to see her, she messaged to check if everything was okay. The flat was perfectly clean. The owner Alice prepared breakfast (bread, milk, jam, cereal, tea, coffee...) and everything we needed in the flat. The view is also amazing! Cute and friendly dogs! The beds were really comfortable.
