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 KingdomSmell of damp on opening the door to room 34. Damp on shower room floor in front of toilet. Wall had damp and rising wallpaper. Sharing shower with 2 spiders and another flying insect. Shame, because this dented the overall experience. I suggest to get a decorator.
Short notice booking. Room ugraded to Delux. Not sure what the 'delux' was! However, the drastic total opposite to the Didn't Like were: - Free off road parking. - Excellent comfortable mattress. - Super clean white bed sheets, and pillow cases. - Clean duvet and cover. - Power shower was just like in any high end hotel (even if the control knob was broken). - Perfect WiFi. - Heater was excellent.

United KingdomThe smoke smell as the previous occupants must have smoked in a non smoking room. There was rubbish on the floor and the nice carpet looked as if it had not been hoovered nor the room dusted. The worst thing was the ensuite: loo seat loose, cracked basin without a plug and generally bad decor. Money should be spent upgrading. Would have preferred decaffeinated teabags.
I did not have breakfast. The front of house was friendly on the day on the phone and upgraded me to a double ensuite when I arrived due to mobility issues without my asking. There were lots of mirrors, the room was the right temperature and there was no traffic noise. The sheets were clean and the water nice and hot. Someone came to resupply my milks. Liked the kettle facilities and the fact there was an easy TV to operate and plenty of sockets. When I left, the owner or front of house asked me if I needed help with clearing ice off my car. Plenty of car park space.

The staff were lovely and were kind enough to let us leave our keys at the desk, so we didn’t lose them at the festival we were attending. They also have free parking.
