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.).

IndiaThe shower did not have hot water coming through but the owner explained that there is a switch which might have been turned off by other guests. I wish this was informed before or on arrival.
The owner is really kind and the location is perfectly close to supermarkets and public transport. The breakfast is good and the property is well maintained.

SenegalThere was an issue with the internet connection. I guess it was independent of the guesthouse.
The guesthouse is ideally located in Banjul if you need to get a couple of things done. Kairaba Avenue is quite busy. The staff is very helpful, accommodating, and friendly.

United KingdomOnly one plug socket in the room itself.
The breakfast was very nice, good bread (toasted) with omelette, coffee and interesting jams. The staff were very helpful in dealing with our requests even late at night. The room was large and clean. We were immediately given the wifi password. Partly by our own fault, we ended up with a mosquito net that was very slightly too small for the bed, but the establishment provided anti-mosquito candles and we had no problem with mosquitos in the end.

SpainVirtually impossible to find. The address is unknown to all except those who live in the same street. The owner would not talk to the taxi driver to give him directions. I should have expected that there would be no lights in the street, there were not, about 300 meters to the main road on sand roads in the pitch dark. Bring a torch. The electricity failed three times during the early evening, the WiFi was on and off mainly off. The water is from a pump so when you get up to use the toilet during the night there is no water. I wanted to catch the bus at 7am so planned a shower at 6.00. no water. When I left at 6.15 the hotel was in darkness, the front door and gate to the street were not locked. It's a pity with a couple of sign boards one on the main road by the pipeline mosque and one on the first road it would be easy to find. Keep the water pump running at night and it would be so much better The electricity and internet issue I think were down to overloading of the system because Daniella could turn them back on. I had low expectations for Banjul it was not my first time there.
The hotel was fine the room was clean. I could only stay one night due to changes in my travel plans. The room had two fans and was intended for a family. Bathroom was a little worn but clean and had a bath. Reception was fine and very quick Daniella was very helpful. Plenty of restaurants and mini markets within 5 minutes walk as we're three banks with ATMs.
