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 Kingdom1. The pictures foe when booking not exactly what iy looks. On the photos almost appeared to have the kitchen ans dine are in the room but it isnt. Asked on the staff, reckoned most people comments tye same when they arrive. Infact it says private kitchen and bathroom. Thats not nice 2. The kitchen not cleaned on daily basis, remains dirty for some days 3. Room #2 not hot water for shower even though had it reported. 4. Have a small roof window for natural light, when it rains have to close it

United KingdomIt would have been useful to know what was actually provided for preparing food, and for it to have been there. In the first property, everything that there was for the kitchen was dirty in the tiny dishwasher - as if whomever had used it expected it to magically clean itself which is a great inconvenience to other guests. Not everyone can, or wants to live out of takeaways! It would have been useful to have a small pan and spoon for food heating for the hob. The toaster was a helpful addition for which I was grateful. I would have been happy to bring a few items with me, had I been aware. More information about the parking before I got there would have been helpful! My training times were varied, so this proved a little tricky for the first couple of days!
I had a little help from the housekeeper for the first property, the second one was a great deal easier! The desk in the second property was really great for my needs, I had a lot of opportunity work to do whilst I was training, so having space was very important, as was a working and reliable internet.

United KingdomPlease see my remarks above.
The steps were to my studio at the top (Room 5) were a bit steep, but manageable since I did not have any luggage. The conveniencecto the University and convenience of having eating places and markets nearby was great. I will likely be staying with you on my future UoB trips.

PolandUnfortunately, I was highly disappointed with the room/studio. The room was not clean enough; it smelled of cigarettes (?). The towels and the bedlinen (although theoretically washed) did not feel fresh. The shower and toilet were clean, but the kitchen area was not. Although it was easy to contact the owner(s), when I asked for the TV remote and ironing board, it was not delivered to me. I could not use this "extra" TV at all during my 3-night stay, and I needed the ironing board on a particular day, and I only saw it on the last day being delivered.
The biggest (and unfortunately only) asset was the location (just outside the University Campus)

United KingdomThe room was not clean, and there was left over rubbish in the cupboard and fridge. They did offer to come and remove it, which I turned down - as that was not the point. The fridge had a smell to it. The bed sheets and towels seemed old and over washed, did not have a freshness to it. I had mild concerns sleeping in it. It was very cheap materials of it all and was not kept up. The shower cabin was extremely small - I was ok, but imagined people slightly larger would struggle. Parking was managable but not convenient. Walls paper thin and everything can be heard. Slight struggles with door locks both the main door and room door. Very little info on what was available in the room and could have used a dish towel too.
The location was good and there was quick reply on a issue with the wifi, There was single use slippers to use which was appreciated as the floor was not very inviting for my feet. The little hair shampoo set was appreciated. The room itself was spacious, tv enourmous. The main good thing was communication with the host.

United KingdomThe communal area was very dirty, especially the stairs. With my room on the second floor, and with mobility issues, it was a struggle getting to the room, especially as the stairs are narrow. The balustrade between the first and second floor, had come lose, making it doubly difficult to navigate because of the mobility issues. On my first night the noise went on until just after midnight. The shower was also quite narrow.
The location was suitable. However, I was unaware that the road was residents parking only zone. Once discovered, I had to plan myself around the parking restrictions.
