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 StatesLoved everything!
One of the best B & B’s we’ve stayed at on our trip. Michaela & Ben made us fell like old friends from the moment we walked in the door. They even invited us to join them & their friends for drinks in the garden when we got back from touring. Truly a memorable stay!!

United StatesHosts (Michaela and Ben) were attentive, available for questions about area, and were able to provide very helpful information about trails, restaurants, ferries, etc. Breakfast was first class, definitely got our days off to a lovely start. Cheerful place in a wonderful location for our needs - mostly day hikes on the coastal paths. Nice sitting area stocked well with books, brochures to complement the information package in the room. Nice space to read or just relax. The room was spacious, comfortable, and quiet.

United KingdomNothing - it was all good! Was a little further away from town than we thought but 15mins is really not long and it was a good opportunity to walk off our multiple cream teas! I enjoyed it as the stars were beautiful round there - we ended up standing outside staring at the sky for quite some time!
The hosts were absolutely lovely - you could tell from the moment we got there. Really friendly, offered us a drink when we arrived and really couldn’t do enough for us, including booking us dinner somewhere as we didn’t realise things closed by 9ish! The hosts have a separate living area and just let you come and go as you please. They had 3 dogs and 2 cats but they were very careful to only bring them out after asking if we were ok with that. We totally were - the dogs were really cute and well behaved, and my husband totally fell in love with Millie the cat! Breakfast in the morning was great - continental with a few hot items that were beautifully presented. We booked a suite because that was all that was available, which was two rooms and our own private bathroom across the hallway. They provided the world’s softest dressing gown to lounge around in/go in the hallway :-)

AustraliaThe property is a 10 minute downhill walk to the centre of town. However, the return uphill trip could prove difficult for less mobile people.
The hosts were wonderful and and made us feel very welcome. The room was a good size and very clean. Breakfast was comprehensive, tasty and nicely presented. On street parking was readily available. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe.

United KingdomBen and Michaela went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. Our event was cancelled due to the bad weather, so they gave us access to their personal DVD collection, put some beers in the fridge and extended my Step mums stay so she could enjoy the event on the second night. They even offered to collect my husband from the train station! Such a lovely couple who run a beautiful guest house. Crisp white sheets and soft towels. Immaculately clean room, bathroom and guest lounge where fresh fruit and warm croissants are offered for breakfast. It’s in a quiet street with an easy, short walk to the village. We will most certainly stay there again and would highly recommend it to others
