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 KingdomI had originally booked a cottage for a couple of nights for work locally and was informed that I was being moved due to a lodge due to an issue at the cottage. This was a great touch from the host and the lodge was exceptional. I believe I will be booking again after showing pictures of the lodge to my partner. Absolutely fantastic accommodation.

NetherlandsGreat service from our host! It was no problem to get an early check-in to drop our bags after we arrived from the ferry. When our ferry off the island was cancelled due to bad weather it was possible to stay another night and when the ferry suddenly did go causing us to check-out late and having to cancel this last minute extra night, that was again no problem. All the while communication via whatsapp went very smooth. The accomodation itself was very spacious and clean and from the bedroom we had a calming view of the sheep. Truely a place you can call home during your stay!

United KingdomCould have done with a longer bed, no an uncommon problem for me as I'm quite tall. You are asked to dispose of your rubbish in the bins provided at the end of the cottages on departure, unfortunately there were no bins there so we took our rubbish with us
The location was great, accommodation had everything you needed for a short stay, communications prior to arrival were good

United KingdomSofa over-large and dominated the living space. Maybe past its best; not at all comfortable. Very harsh, cold lighting in the living area. Big over-emphasis on Covid prevention and "infection risk" in the joining instructions. We're not in 2020 any more. Need to move on. Not sure why key-code had to be texted on the actual day of arrival and not before? We have been island-hopping with intermittent phone reception. Caused unnecessary stress.
A very new property in among a group of other holiday-lets, on a hill above Stromness. Very clean and modern. Spacious bathroom, well-equipped kitchen. Parking right outside door. Easy to find with excellent directions from both ferry and other directions on the island. Good WiFi.

AustraliaVery clean and new. Spacious and well equipped, comfortable bed and lounge.Sorry we could not stay longer. Best accommodation we have had on our trip so far and very reasonable price. We had a one bed cottage. The only suggestion I have would be to email a map of how to get there with the information package. Very helpful lady on the phone directed us there. Thank you for our stay.
