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 KingdomGreat accomodation not too far from the university we were visiting. Plenty of shops in the area for anything we needed. Didn't encounter any staff but didn't need to, we were sent instructions on how to access keys etc and all went well. Quiet stay and will definitely return if the price is right!

United KingdomFan in bathroom was a little loud but not really an issue. Room was great overall.
Was great as an affordable place to stay near Edinburgh city centre. Beds were comfortable (though very soft). Getting in was simple. Room was warm once we’d figured out how to turn heating up! Hot water machine was great and lots of tea etc provided. Room was accessible easily though we arrived late. We will likely be back.

AustraliaThe only water source was the bathroom sink. While it would probably have been ok to drink from it, the sink was too small to fit our reusable bottles. So we had to resort to buying bottled water. It would also have been good if they supplied additiona rubbish bin liners. They did provide one quickly when requested.
The score I gave reflects our expectations, both based on the pictures as well as the other reviews. As such, we knew what we were very likely going to get with the accommodation. We had 2 rooms, 6 and 8. Room 6 was the smaller room, but it was still ok for the 4 people who stayed there. There wasn't much room apart from the beds, but we expected that. Room 8 was actually bigger than we expected, though not by much. It was on the lower floor, but we were able to open the window to get fresh air. Comments about how hot the rooms were and how difficult it was to manage the temperature were easily solved by speaking to the manager and trying out different settings. The manager was extremely responsive and provided us with all the information and amenities we required. The location was great with easy access to the city and restaurants.
