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.).

GermanyParking wasn't that easy, but we always found a free space, even if it meant a bit of a walk.
Lovely house, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. Sea view from bright and cosy bedroom on the top floor. Great area for a holiday with loads to see and do. Convenient for pubs, shops, chippy, walks etc.

The house is really nice and the decoration was lovely and lot of effort has been put into it.little courtyard for the dog .beds were so comfy.super pet friendly .nice tea and coffee selection..big kitchen everything you need .hosts were great with messages.

United KingdomIf you go out in the evening by car, you may struggle to find a parking space when you return. There is no banister leading into the top/single room. Thus, you need to be careful walking down the stairs. Additionally, the main staircase has holes in the groves. So, do be careful if you are staying with little ones.
This property was perfect and beautiful! I didn't want to leave. It was exceptionally clean and presented beautifully. There is plenty of space and it is very comfortable to be in. Guests can control the heating and the property communication in great with all the relevant information. The sea view is stunning and I wanted to move in. There is a co-op 2 minutes up the road should you wish to top up on anything. The property has a variety of teas and coffees.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing:)
The house was beautifully decorated and furnished throughout and super clean. It was ideally positioned for a long weekend enjoying all the excellent facilities at the sailing centre just down the road. Quieter than neighbouring Weymouth but still plenty of pubs and shops in walking distance. Close by free parking was always available.

United KingdomThe cottage is on the main road. Thus, at night, it's a bit noisy. The stairs looked stylish but were slightly scary to climb with a baby and difficult for old parents.
It was a lovely cottage with beautiful interior. Also it was quite close to the beach, only 7min walk. It had all modern amenities, perfect stay for a family. They arranged a lovely cot for our baby.

United KingdomThe stairs we felt were abit awkward...my parents are both in their 70s...and our little dog kept running up and down...🙈 a bannister at the top staircase would have been really helpful.
We loved the decor of the cottage, it was very quirky. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. It was in a great location to where we needed to be. It was extremely clean throughout...we throughly enjoyed our stay.

Very clean property. Well decorated, and had everything we needed for a short stay near Chisel Beach. We wanted a location mid way from most of top 5 Dorset coastal locations to drive west, then east in a 2 night stay. Shops and a Boots pharmacy very close to the cottage which came in handy.

A beautiful little cottage in a beautiful location. We found a beautifully maintained, tidy, clean cottage. Nice decoration, all the necessary items in the kitchen, comfortable beds, and the brilliant quirkiness of a little house built on the side of a hill. Views from the top floor are incredible too
