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 KingdomI really don’t understand the rave reviews. I don’t wish to be unkind, and it is an adequate overnight stop. But the bed linen wasn’t clean. The view of the sea was over a domestic rubbish area. The decor is tired and worn. The breakfast was mediocre at best: the cheapest possible orange juice from concentrate. They did replace the fried bread with toast when I asked. A single cup of coffee. I usually refrain from leaving a review if I am negative about somewhere, but this was just so off kilter from my expectations based upon the reviews that I felt I had to honestly relate my personal experience - otherwise what is the point of reviews. The Wi-fi is good. The dogs are great, I took Oscar for a walk. The animals are fun too.

The B&B is in a fabulous location with sea views from some of the rooms. The breakfast was delicious, with lots of choice and a very attentive host and friendly person serving us. If you're looking for somewhere homely and relaxed this is the place to go.

United KingdomWasn't sure if we had access to the garden or not, and the drive isn't the easiest in the world to get in/out of when other cars are about but those were small prices to pay for the location and considerate hosts!
Lovely hosts- gave me brilliant tips on locations for dog walks, dog friendly cafes and where best to park for surfing and were generally very relaxed and accommodating of me and my young energetic pup. They were happy for me to leave her for a couple hours at a time (in her pen/crate when she needed a nap) and she also enjoyed meeting the other dogs, cats, alpacas, donkeys, geese, chickens etc! Room was comfy and fresh towels/tea and biscuit replenishment each day was a lovely extra touch I hadn't expected. Breakfast each morning was great and very filling. The area is amazing- good surf beaches a couple of mins drive away in either direction, right on the coastal path and near a beautiful canal path too, and good pubs and cafes close by. Felt very safe taking the dog out for a last stroll last thing at night before bed.
