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 KingdomWe were cycling the West Highland Way, they let us lock the bikes up overnight in their shed. The packed lunch was just right for us. Breakfast was a selection of cereals and toast.

GermanyNo power plugs at the bed and just 2 in a 6 bed-room. The Beds are a bit too short for tall people and the end is closed so not possible to stretch. WiFi wasn't working in the lounge, but in the kitchen area only. Prices at the reception were quite high considering the easy to go to location.
Friendly Staff, Rooms clean, quiet at night and a great location right next to the lake and on the WHW. Strong and very hot shower. Enough toilets. Comfy lounge with a superb view. Dinner was good for the price and Breakfast was ok, though no one checked whether it was reserved / paid for or not, so everyone just came and grabbed what was needed.

ItalyThe bed linen were a bit worn out and the room didn't seem very clean. The toilets were ok, but the showers need some maintenance. We stayed there for "emergency", but it was too expensive for what it is. One more point: the breakfast was not included in our booking, so I paid it in advance at the check in, but in the morning no one checked us.
The location and the building are amazing, as well as the lounge area and the kitchen.

IsraelVery basic. We had a room for 6 with bunked beds. The floor was tilted, shared showers and bathroom which are ok but not more. Dinner and breakfast are overpriced and are below average even for a place like this. The stuff were ok but did not get out of their way to help with questions.
Lobby is comfortable and a bonus (you can find books and board games).

Czech RepublicThe wifi didn't work and the bed was not comfortable. It was quite cold during the night and we both caught a little bit of a cold. There is dinner available, which is great, but the food wasn't as good as expensive it was.
The location is great, right next to the trail. The view is great and the bathroom was shared but it was not a problem, there was enough hot water for everyone. The breakfast was a good deal and they had lunch bags available.
