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 StatesThe internet is extremely slow. Even uploading one picture took a very long time. If you are using this as a working vacation, this is not the place for you as you will be extremely frustrated. If you have no need of internet, though, you will be comfortable and happy! I also want to note that the address on the Booking.com site is different than the actual address. Make sure to confirm the address with the owner before you book. I was not made aware of this until the day before I arrived and it caused me some anxiety since the actual address does not show up on Google Maps. It is not very far off from the listed address so it wasn't a problem once I figured out where I was going.
The house was clean and beautiful and very comfortable. Nothing seemed broken or dirty. Heated up quickly when we got chilly. Quiet location close to the High Street. The host met us to hand over the keys and she was very kind. That made me feel even more comfortable to stay there.

United KingdomFine for us but need to be aware of steep stairs if you have any guests less mobile.
Great location right in the centre of Winchester at the start of the South Downs Way which could accommodate friends & family for one night. Paula was very responsive with answering queries and helping us with parking.

United KingdomJust be aware that the single bed is basically in an open plan area and the bathroom leads off this . Stairs to the twin room are also here. It wasn't a problem for us though.
Such a lovely property, perfect for a night away with friends. Paula was kind enough to meet us near the property, and allowed us to check in early which was great. Super comfy beds and a lovely bathroom! The provision of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits was very welcome . A super location with easy access into town, the property is ideal for a mini break.

United KingdomEverything was beautiful, if I had to point out anything it’s simply an observation to those walking down the steps to the rivers edge… the wood trims on the stairs gets a little slippery. As long as you stay on the concrete you’ll be fine!
Wow!!! What a lovely quirky home in a quiet little spot, yet only a stones throw away from the beautiful city. Perfect location, bed was so comfy and Paula went above and beyond to make our weekend very special. Her communication throughout was fantastic and she even left us a little pressie and treats on arrival. Simply book and see for yourselves!
