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 KingdomBeing an old property, hearing the person upstairs getting up at hourly intervals for a wee from 4am was tiring! I think the poor ceiling/floor insulation is reflected in the cheap accommodation cost though.
We stayed in Room 6 outside in the courtyard. Lovely room with very comfortable bed and decent sized shower. Staff were professional, helpful and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed both our evening meal and fabulous breakfast. Excellent food.

GermanyThe quality of the furnishings and decor was poor. The one chair had a weak back so, unless one wanted to lounge, it was unconfortable. The shade was broken in my room, so not only could I not get it dark, but it was on the street side and so people could theoretically see in when the lights were on. Charlotte did a lot to make up for it. Unfortauntely, the first solution was to move me to a room where only the door could be opened for air (bathroom window was just a pane of glass), and there were beard hairs all over the sink. It was rather disgusting. I got moved back to the first room and a blanket put over the shade. That worked ok. But a bit of hassle at 10 o'clock at night. The management staff unfortunately had that attitude of an answer for every comment by the guest, which leaves one feeling unheard and rather like trying to talk to a wall. Perhaps the managment should learn from thier staff people! There is a lot of room for improvement, and it should not rely on the interpersonal skills of a single person to give guests some kind of satisfaction. Finally, it has been a long time since I have seen a breakfast buffet without a single piece of fruit on offer, not even a basket of apples and mandarins.
One staff person, Charlotte, who attended to the many problems, was very helpful and solution-oriented. The carpet was excellent - nice wool carpet. Sounds silly, but the one chair was uncomfortable so I sat on the floor. From the menu choices for breakfast, the avacado-poached egg dish was delicious.
