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.).

IrelandThere was some damp mould in the corner of the room. Noone answered when I arrived. It was not clear which house was which in the dark. The neighbour also had a number 70 on the door (the B was not visible in the dark).
The room was close to the shared bathroom. The room was very small (not like in the pictures), but had charging points and internet (although reception was a bit patchy). Close to airport and hospital, and a good pub opposite. Also a SuperValu close by. The kitchen room had a microwave and fridge for use by guests. This was handy for the evening meal.

Spainthe only thing was that our room was an attic, and there were steep stairs to get to the bathroom. I use to wake up at night to go to bathroom so this was not great, but nothing important
Breakfast was ok. I asked Margaret gluten free bread and oat milk, and she provided quickly It was confortable having breakfast at their living room, before starting the day Margaret&Gordon were kind and helpful, and provided any help we needed Location of the house was really convenient, close to the 16 bus stop, which brought us from the airport in 20min, and took us to the city center in 15min, so great. Also, good neighbourhood with a nice pub close, the beaumont house, which served good meal

SpainThe structure of the steps that connected to our bedroom seemed pretty dangerous because of its inclination and location in a cramped spaced.
The staff were very friendly and the connection to the airport and city center was decent (maybe it was a bit far, but the bus was relatively quick and close to the house. We didn't have a problem). Very welcoming ambient good service.

Well placed halfway between city center and airport (bus line 16 + alternate routes, if needed). Supermarket, pub and restaurant very close. The hosts make you feel welcome and provide many helpful information. Room and breakfast have good value for money.
