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 KingdomEverything was fine, my only issue was the bathroom sink seem to be getting blocked but that shouldn't put anyone off. It's a lovely place and we loved our time in Bala 👍
Cozy, warm, comfortable and everything you'd need for a relaxing stay. Close to the centre and pubs / restaurants/ takeaway etc.

United KingdomThe neighbour made us feel very uncomfortable when she knocked in and accused us of not picking up a dog poo in the shared courtyard and she also implied that we left a used dog poo bag on their windowsill. We did have our dog with us (as the property is advertised as dog friendly), but we didn't let her out to the courtyard at all as it wasn't suitable for a dog in our opinion.
The location was excellent, 10 minutes walk from the lake, 2 minutes walk from the high street (plenty of shops and pubs). The house had everything we needed for a few nights stay. The host was extremely accommodating, as we arrived an hour before the check-in time, and he was happy for us to check in earlier than we were supposed to.

United KingdomThe heating was not constant. Even though we adjusted it, it was switching on and off. The linen was washed but had some hairs and lastly no private parking, but there were parking spaces available. The hoover provided was not very powerful, and we struggled to hoover the living room. Unfortunately, there was no mop to clean the floor, so it is not ideal for a family with small children.
Nicely decorated, cosy. Friendly hosts, close to shops and restaurants, nice views.Overall, it was a pleasant property with a nice location.

United KingdomCentral heating was a little difficult to get your head around but ok once sorted.
A lovely little cottage right next to the High Street so all pubs,restaurants & shops are just seconds away. Despite this the street was quiet.

United KingdomParking was a slight issue - garden is ok but next door neighbour isn’t keen on dogs so was wary of letting our dogs in the garden.
The property was fantastic. Lovely decorated, comfortable, has everything you need!! The owners are lovely. We encountered a slight problem on the second day but was fixed in minutes with help from Geoff and Christine. They are always on the other end of the phone whenever you need them, they really made us feel very welcome. The cottage is really like a home from home. Location is fantastic!!!
