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.).

AustraliaYou could hear the very loud crow of roosters traffic from the nearby main road very early in the morning. The café took a very long time to prepare the food — although I was very happy to wait because it was absolutely delicious and by far the best J have had during my travels in Indonesia.
The property was exceptionally clean and tidy, in a peaceful setting with a picturesque outlook. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomNow for the ‘buts’: - Wi-Fi only works in the reception area. - Food takes a long time to arrive. Not great if others are ordering at a similar time. To get around this, the hack is to pre-order in advance and tell them what time you want it. - Our toilet broke twice. Quickly fixed but still inconvenient. - Although the temperature drops a bit overnight, it’s still far too hot in a room without AC or a fan. No conducive to a good night’s sleep. - It seems the biggest complaint, the lack of hot water, is indeed an issue. Out of six showers, two were warm (but not hot), three cold and one lukewarm. We had to ask staff twice to sort it out.
After reading some previous guests’ comments, I was still unsure what to expect from our three night stay when we arrived. Overall, it was an extremely positive experience. It’s a unique, very atmospheric property in the middle of town. The staff were nice and the food was tasty. The gardens are lovely to relax in with a beer after a long day exploring.

PortugalIt can be a bit noisy sometimes in certain rooms early in the morning.
A nice homestay in the main street of Rantempao. Walking distance from the city center. Big spaces, super super kind hosts, always with a smile and good mood. Local food at good prices, different breakfast options and good portions.

United KingdomNo hot water, shower pressure not great. No wifi in the rooms. I was disappointed by the food considering the good reviews I had read - I had an overcooked fish one night, and my friend had a rendang that also wasn't great. I live in Indonesia and love the food, but didn't find this good at all. On booking.com it also states that there is a spa and wellness centre, which is not true.
The location was good, the rooms were spacious and clean. The staff were kind and helpful.

SwitzerlandOnly one electricity socket. Strange configuration of light switches - serial instead of parallel - waste of energy when you need only main bulb. Had to squeeze some ants in the bathroom, then no problem anymore.
Nice layout around a beautiful garden with lovely views. Beautiful common area and very good breakfast which was served in time - despite some other comments here. Warm water and liquid soap in the shower. Good WiFi in the lobby area.

FranceThe bathroom was disappointing for the price, there was no real hot water and the pressure was very low, also the sink was leaking on us. The restaurant is quite expensive but luckily there are some other cheap options nearby.
Charming place with nice staff. Sometimes they gave us a free fresh fruits salad in the afternoon, such a delicate gesture! The room was spacious and comfortable. Many guides were waiting just in front of the guesthouse.

GermanyAll fine.
We returned after 13 years and Pias Poppies turned out to be just as nice and welcoming as before. Friendly and helpful staff, spacious and clean rooms, now located in a new building with nice views. On top of that you can have your dinner in the restaurant that serves typical Torajan meals of high quality which are quite hard to find elsewhere. What more can you expect?

SingaporeInternet is working properly, but it is only available in the reception area, so guests can not connect from their rooms. A bit too much light is reaching the room from the upper part, and it can get a bit noisy early in the morning.
Everyone from the staff was very kind and helpful. They were eager to help us with contacts and information. Room was very big and clean, with comfortable beds and daily cleaning. Breakfast was delicious, plus, restaurant service is available all day.
