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 KingdomThe airport collection service cost the same as getting the local cab so no advantage to it and it wasn’t there when I arrived though a nice gentleman, Omar’s brother did wait with me. I was put in a different apartment across the road on the first night and had to move the next day which was a pain because of work commitments. Also wasn’t keen to stay in a place I didn’t know after arriving alone late in the evening. Omar wasn’t around a lot. Got hassled to pay full bill but wasn’t keen to until eg the hot water was working. Paid half and then settled on leaving.
Good location for me. Nice modern, clean apartment. Very nice dog!

BelgiumWhen I arrived on my first evening, the room was full of mosquitos (I think they left the door open), but I must say, this problem was immediately tackled/solved by the very friendly staff by installing a mosquito net above the bed and sprayng the room with anti-mosquito spray, so after one hour everything was OK.
Nice basic room in a quiet environment, a bit away from tourist area. Very good value for money !! The staff is very friendly !

SwitzerlandThe bathroom was in a bad state, several things were broken, including the towel rack, the toilet paper holder and the bathroom door. Further there was neither hand soap or shower gel available. I did get some dish washer soap though after asking for hand soap. There is wifi at the property but in my room (bottom floor, furthest to the right) the signal was very weak and not usable.
The property looks very nice and the staff members are friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the fan made sleeping easier during hot nights. The property is located a bit away from the beach and the tourist area but I did not mind that. It was quiet and you have some cheap local restaurants around.

FinlandIf you have wheels then no problem whatsoever. By walking it's quite far from the restaurants etc.
The perfect getaway with a nice local family. The only thing for us was the distance from the beach. It is quite far by walking, which we like to do, but at night time it is not so comfortable. If you have a ride this place is highly recommended!!

DenmarkThe guest house is a bit out of the way, compared to some of the other (more expensive!) options. It's a solid 10-15 minute walk away from the main eating/drinking street, which is a lot when it's on unlit and very wonky streets.
We needed a short stay after landing in Gambia, and found Bajo Kunda which is kinda close to everything, and very cheap. The value for money is super, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful in referring taxis etc.
