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 KingdomNo different to a garden shed based on its single glazed windows! I had planned to stay for 1 night for R&R and the temperature within the lodge on arrival was 2-3 degrees at 15:30pm! The only source of heating was inadequate portal electric heaters that were faulty and not emitting much if any heat. There is also heavy road traffic noise based on it being near a busy road, not peaceful at all There were also building works going on in the main building with the use of loud machinary and awful levels of noise (like a building site!) Although the construction workers were very friendly and did try to help me by offering extra heating that they would try to source , they also showed me to the accommodation because it is not clearly signed. On the other hand the staff over the phone are unhelpful and told me it was my decision to book their accommodation and were brutal. I have since seen other bad reviews/ experiences so clearly they have no customer service and are only interested in money. I left the property after 45mins due to the cold, which was the 27th of Decemember, and I am till this day waiting for my £150 deposit back, and they refused a refund on the £65 I paid! The accommodation from what I did see was dated, and the bathroom shower had cracks around it It is also worth mentioning that when I arrived albeit I am grateful cleaner's had been in and they did do a good job however the floor was wet and not only did I slip (thankfully without injury) but it was incredibly horrible enlight of the freezing conditions. 2 weeks on and no apologies or refunds, and they still hold my deposit! Especially considering I left due to poor facilities. Absolutely awful and probably the worst I've ever experienced and was no different to staying in a garden shed.
The location by an open lake was lovely and scenic and that is the only nice thing I can say

United KingdomI don't trust this company. They have emailed me saying the room I occupied was burnt after I left so they've charged me for the damage deposit. They sent me a video of the burnt room and it isn't the room I stayed in. They had two storage heaters in the room which were not safe and I had to switch them off as the plugs were heating up. The outside door which was very flimsy, was the only lockable door in the property. I did not feel safe and so couldn't sleep well that night. The cabin is in a remote location, no wifi and extremely poor phone network. The area is poorly lit. The smoke alarm was disconnected. They only communicate via text message and when you try to call them they don't answer. They gave someone else the keysafe code for our property and we were told we were in the wrong place. We were then given the codes to all the other 4 cabins and told to go and find the other ones and check that the codes work - ridiculous! It is just not safe, especially for 2 women. We were the only ones there. If we'd needed help, no one would have been available. There was no one there even though they tell you to contact the main building if you need anything. I have reported this to booking.com as they need to be removed from their site.
Nothing.
