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.).

IrelandThe accommodation was very comfortable. Beds were comfy and the lodge had all the facilities we needed, including some jigsaws and games that the boys loved! The welcome basket was a lovely touch and the host was very friendly and provided us with some information about travel and tourist spots when we arrived. The bus stop outside the door was very convenient!!

United StatesI can't think of a thing I would change.
We and our adult sons loved this place! We were able to park our car in the driveway and leave it there while we took the bus to explore Edinburgh. We loved this cozy cottage. It was spotless and comfortable. The garden view was lovely. It was so quiet, even though the property is on a busy street with a bus stop across the street. We all slept great!

MaltaThe only thing I didn't like was that the property was already booked for the second part of our stay in Edinburgh so I had to find another property that didn't even come close...
A warm welcome from Lorna, together with the goodies in the fridge, set the mood for our entire journey, and the place is just as lovely (or more) as it seems in the photos. You can feel that it was made from the heart, not as just yet another rental. Oh, and the whole area is lovely, peaceful, and quiet.

United KingdomThe attention to detail and decoration make this feel like home away from home. While exploring Edinburgh we found this so much more pleasant than a travel lodge type hotel in the middle of town. Multiple buses very close by made access to the centre very easy. The owners were very welcoming.

United KingdomThe only thing that would have made this any better would have been a power shower - I'm nit-picking here though, the current shower is perfectly adequate and spacious. Everything else aside from that was perfect.
Lorna left us a package of essentials (bread, milk, OJ, Prosecco, biscuits) for our arrival which was very much appreciated. Bus links to the city were from right outside the lodge which made travelling around extremely easy.
