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.).

GermanyFirst of all, it was completely different than we expected. We booked the room for 19 nights and paid a good amount of money. However, this small room wasn't worth the price at all. The room was so small that we could not even place our luggage there properly. The second point is that hygiene isn't a familiar concept in this place. Our bed sheets were full of stains (some of them even looked like blood). The carpets were extremely dirty as well. We felt so uncomfortable sleeping in that bed and during the night we were woken up by the toilet flush since it was so loud. Furthermore, the flush could be just used every 10 minutes (we had to wait to flush again). After using the flush, we could hear the noise for almost half an hour. Another problem was the door lock which looked very old and was not secure, to be honest. Once we left the keys in the room and the door got locked. So we had to call the property owner and get a spare key. I would also like to talk about the issues we had with the owners. In the beginning, they seemed to be very nice and kind. However, we had to check out earlier than expected and one week before checking in we told the owner about that. We did not expect any refund from them, but they told us if we checked out earlier (we left 12 nights earlier) and if they found new renters, we could get a small refund. After checking out, we contacted them several times and even tried to change our check-out date on booking.com, so they could find new renters. However, they did not confirm the new check-out date, when booking.com asked them. They had found new renters for our reservation period, but they told us nobody was staying in our room, just because they didn't want to give us any refund. They profited twice and lied to us. In the end, they end up offering us a ridiculous amount of money, so we wouldn't bother them anymore.
It was in a central and nice place in Southsea. There was a TV in the room with internet access. The kitchen was well equipped. However, I'd never waste my money there again.
