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.).

ItalyOur stay at Helen's beautiful house was an absolute delight. Despite its secluded location, the property was easy to find. Nestled in the picturesque countryside, the self-check-in was a lifesaver after a long drive. Helen's kindness and excellent communication further enhanced my stay. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a tranquil getaway with the convenience of modern amenities.

South AfricaQuiet and peaceful property that offered best place to stay the night. The room/bed was comfortable and bathroom was also great. The property was little bit difficult to get to at night (which was warned). I arrived at the property around 8pm and it was quite a challenging to rely on Google maps. But the instruction received from Helen really helped me here.

United StatesBecause we arrived at night and what seemed to be rural countryside, Google maps did not have an accurate pin on where the property is located. We had to stop at 2 different neighbors :/ for help. Fortunately we were able to reach the owner who happened to be out of the country. All worked out and it was a delightful property.
As far as we know, there was not a breakfast offered, nor did we expect there to be.

United KingdomNot many negatives - just know that there's no cooking or refrigeration unless you plan ahead and ask for it. Also, you're pretty secluded, so there's no walking to a store or cafe or anything. With no common areas, you're kind of stuck in your bedroom with no TVs or entertainment.
Beautiful home with a very welcoming guest. The rooms were big and the beds were warm and cozy. Nice extras such as bottled water, teas, coffees and biscuits. Very clean.
