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 great. The massive stone building felt chilly at first (in February) but soon warmed up.
This is remarkable place to stay - at the water's edge on a promontory across the river from Plymouth, in a former military fort. The apartment is only yards from the waves and has everything you need, including a balcony and allocated parking. Highly recommended.

United KingdomThe underground parking and corridors leading from it to the apartment were dully lit. I felt totally safe, but it was a bit unwelcoming (it's a problem I see with a lot of apartments that were built/created in the 70s & 80s). However, the lift worked fine and once in the apartment, it was soon forgotten.
Fort Picklecombe is an unusual building with a unique history and that was one of the main reasons for visiting. The ground floor apartment opened out onto a balcony with the sea only a few metres away - wonderful to watch during the summer storm that happened when I was there. There is also excellent walking from the Fort

Hong KongShould have booked staying longer.
I booked the place mainly because of its location so I can have a seaview and stayed in a historical fort, I am so pleased with my stay even though just before going I was without my car but with some careful planning using public transport and good suggestion from my host Heather, everything worked out well. The apartment had everything I need, very comfortable and quiet, lots of coastal and country walks around and residents in the block were friendly. There were books on local history and information about the fort provided in the apartment. Relaxing holiday in a hidden gem.

United StatesEverything was actually really nice and pleasant. It was clean, it was bright, the bed was really comfortable. Kitchen and bathroom were clean a functional. Maybe a sharper sharp knife in the kitchen?
Gorgeous view, lovely place to get away from everything and enjoy the water. The first two days the water was relatively calm, the last two days the waves were spectacular and having a front row seat was AMAZING!
