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 KingdomAbsolutely nothing. It was perfection.
Firstly, it was surprisingly easy to find using City Mapper - it is pretty much a straight line, 10 mins from Maidstone East station, with a pleasant walk through the high street - you will be able to get acclimated with the area on the walk there. My room was gorgeous - sizeable double bed, freestanding bath with grand period furniture. Facilities are beyond what you would expect from a property of this type. The rooms are soundproof and you are provided with all the amenities of a high-end hotel The place is spotless with similar attention to detail in the overall design - what they have accomplished with the renovations is nothing short of startling. Saban and Belinda are wonderful hosts and could not have been more welcoming or hospitable If you want to have a place just outside of the hustle and bustle of London (with the accompanying price tag) but less than an hour away with a quintessential British Market town as your backdrop, this really is the only choice I could recommend. The room I had, in London, would have been 10x the price for what I got here. Please don’t let the price fool you, this is an excellent property that would be great value at twice the price. Finally, I didn’t get to say goodbye to my lovely hosts, but I look forward to seeing them again and hope this honest review makes up for it.

United KingdomMy partner and I had the pleasure of staying in the Judge Huddlestone room for an overnight stay to celebrate her birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience. The property itself is stunning, with an elegant ambiance that carries throughout the entire hotel, a perfect blend of historic charm and luxury furniture, rich oak panelling adds a sense of grandeur and timelessness. This extremely large bedroom, measuring 42 square meters, features a hand-carved four-poster bed that is as lush and comfortable as it looks. The expensive, well-made silk bedding sheets and goose down duvets and pillows made for an incredibly restful sleep, our room furnished with luxury and antique pieces that contribute to its elegant atmosphere. We particularly enjoyed the fireplace, which added warmth and a touch of romance to our evening. The roll-top bath in the beautifully medieval oak-panelled bathroom was another highlight, offering a perfect place to unwind.
