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 Kingdomentrance to the hotel, narrow street and the name board is barely visible, but all 100 stars
The hotel exceeded my expectations, for such a price I thought it would be worse, but this hotel and the room I got were wonderful, my partner and I felt like in heaven, beautifully made, cosmetics and bathrobes in the bathroom - wow, what's more, it was the first time I experienced breakfast they bring it to the room, it was great, warm rolls, fresh juice was great, the only thing I would change is the entrance to this hotel because we went several times and we skipped it because the entrance was very narrow and the name of the hotel was not well lit, but for me the stay was 100 stars, as Whenever we are in the area, we will definitely buy a room like this again

United KingdomNothing, everything was as we would have hoped it would be
Lovely, comfortable dog friendly room in a beautiful village less than 30 mins outside of Plymouth City Centre. Some great beaches within a few minutes drive from the property, especially Mothecombe where our two dogs had a fabulous time running around. Our room had everything we needed and the hosts were on hand if we needed anything. Breakfast was delivered as ordered and was really fresh and delicious. Parking on site was a bonus, as was the pub next door where we enjoyed an evening meal.

United KingdomRoads to the village are narrow; one is very narrow. It pays to follow directions given by the property owners rather than your satnav.
Very intelligent conversion of a lovely barn in an interesting village. Almost everywhere I stay there is some aspect of the property which is irritating, and you think “Oh, why didn’t they just . .” Not here. Everything you need has been thought out and provided. Wifi is easy and excellent. Quality and cleanliness excellent. Ample free parking. Friendly village pub opposite. Lovely area.
