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 KingdomIt wasn’t too close to the very city centre but was absolutely perfect for the places we were interested in (the old tow, the castle, and Usher Hall).
The property was absolutely spotless and so cozy, with very easy heating controls and wonderful kitchen / bathroom facilities. Caroline was a brilliant host and so helpful and welcoming, we greatly appreciated the attention to detail from hot drink facilities down to shortbread and even a lovely bottle of wine! We will absolutely consider this place first when we next come back to Edinburgh.

FranceIt was great. Cannot think of anything negative to say!
The property was spotless. The host explained everything very clearly when we met to receive the keys (and also great instructions on how to use all appliances). Very quiet location with no traffic noise. Some tea bags, coffee etc. left for guests. Really nice touch to have some shortbread biscuits left out for us too. Leaving was super easy as just needed to leave the keys on the table.

United KingdomNothing.
Caroline, the host, had provided cereal, jam, milk, tea, coffee, and bottled water which we did not expect to find as well as biscuits and other drinks. She met us there in person and gave us some great tips and advice on getting around the area. She was very friendly and helpful. The apartment was immaculate and had everything that we needed. The bed was very comfortable.

The apartment was superb, clean, modern, high spec and It was very convenient for the centre. The owner met us on arrival and was friendly and welcoming ensuring we had a parking spot. Despite calling for assistance out of hours, the owner was more than happy to assist. Additional personal touches were lovely and on line guide was brilliant.
