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.).

BelgiumEverything was fine, but the breakfast is very simple/basic and expensive. For €5 per person we got coffee/tea, a sandwich, 1 piece of cheese spread and a fried egg. No fruit or other toppings.
The host (and helpers) are very nice. The room was more than enough for us. Glad with the waterkettle and other kitchen supplies. We used the breakfast one dag, afterwards we did our own shopping, which went well with the refrigerator and space we had in the room.we used the breakfast 1 day, ).

NorwayI was not always happy with the staff, especially the male staff. They were not professional enough. For instance, there was no toilet papers in the common toilet sat several times. Irritating.
I likedthe rooms on the upper floor, they were excellent value. Another thing I really liked was the at atmospehere at the guesthouse; really easy to meet people-both travellers and locals. Some really good restaurants nearby.

This guesthouse is very cozy and well decorated with both Swedish and African furniture. The pool is amaaazing. The staff super kind and caring. Both at day and nighttime. Also the kitchen is very well equiped and has a blender. Soap is readily available in the bathrooms and kitchen and at the poolshower. :)

United StatesRoom coulda been a bit cleaner/updated. You can’t walk out of the property without being hounded and followed by touts and ‘tour guides’ wanting to show you around. Although everyone is super friendly, they won’t let you just enjoy the time alone. You basically gain an unsolicited Friend/guide that’ll eventually ask you for money for spending the day with you lol
Spacious room, decent WiFi. Hot water and fridge in room. Kettle and coffee provided. Friendly staff and nice pool to have a swim if you please. Couple minutes walk to the beach. Decent place in Bakau. Has a really delicious Indian restaurant a minute walk away.

Czech RepublicThe room had a bit of mold in it and the overall look of the walls in the room was not good. The refrigerator in the room stunk, so I didn't even want to use it. The shared bathroom door didn't close properly and the rule for the use 2-3cups of water to flush the pee confused whoever was sharing the toilet and probably thought the flush didn't work and it was quite gross to see the leftover poop in the toilet. Also the power seemed to go off in the area quite often at night.
It was nice that there was a mosquito net for sleeping and a fan in the room. The towels were nice too. It was a short walk to the beach which was great. The wifi connection was great and made it easy to watch videos. Plus it was a 10 minute walk to the craft market, which is where one can catch the shared mini van that costs just 10 dalasi to go to Westfield.
