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 Arab EmiratesThe apartment is excellent, two rooms and two bathrooms. Very beautiful view. It has a large balcony, which we did not enjoy much due to the cold weather. The location of the apartment, if you use the train, is very close to Glasgow, so that you can go and return to the countryside every day and find tranquility. Baloch is a beautiful and quiet village. We thank the hostess very much for her understanding, help and response. We will come back if we return to Baloch village

United KingdomIt was perfect, I’ve tried to think of a negative but there wasn’t one.
We would highly recommend a stay at Riverside View. Communication for access arrangements was clear and helpful and the allocated parking is a real bonus. The apartment was clean and well furnished. Everything you could need is provided. The beds are comfortable and the living room is bright with windows to all sides and access to the lovely, private balcony with views over the river. The location is excellent with plenty of pubs, some with live music, and restaurants within short walking distances. We managed to eat at a different restaurant every night, granted some were better than others but there’s something for all tastes. You can get on the Loch Lomond Cruise just across the road and take walks along the beautiful river and country park. Balloch is ideally situated for exploring Loch Lomond and further afield, during our stay we visited a number of amazing waterfalls only a short drive away and fascinating places such as Stirling are only about 40 minutes drive. I’ve already passed the details of the apartment to a friend who’s considering a visit to Scotland.

United KingdomI hate to complain but we all found it very noisy in the evening trying to get to sleep and the earplugs the host kindly provided done little to drown out the noise from passing transport and revellers returning from the local pubs. The mattresses were not great either and we all found they made for an uncomfortable sleep. To be fair we did stay on a Friday and Saturday so this has to be taken into account and would most likely be quieter during the week.
The apartment was in a great central location and was beautifully decorated and came with an outdoor terrace with a table and chairs which was ideal for the lovely weather we had. The host has thought of all the little extras you would need which was very thoughtful. Kindly providing milk, sugar, coffee, teabags and a bottle of Prosecco as well as some lovely shortbread biscuits and fudge.
