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.).

AustraliaRarely do we stay at accommodation that’s sets a new benchmark. Seafort did just that in so many ways. The property quality, facilities, cleanliness and comfort - just perfection. The host was like a friend who was so welcoming, gave us the space we needed, but was there to give us tips on trips and sites in the area whenever we needed it. The tranquil and stunning environment complimented the best scrambled eggs I had for breakfast! No hesitation in recommending this stay to anyone visiting West Cork!

United StatesThe view off our balcony was sublime -- birds, fish, scenery into the distance... Breakfast was amazing. The range of choice (porridge to full breakfast, with soda bread, or maybe you'd prefer a meat and cheese plate or... ?). All delicious. The owner rescued us from being drenched and dried our outerwear. And stayed up late when we were delayed. And gave us many directions and personal recommendations. It was like staying at your best friend's house. The house is quiet and beautiful. It, quite literally, could not have been better.

Beautiful place right on the estuary. Our room was really excellent with an undisturbed view of the river and the bay with egrets, different species of ducks and swans. The opportunity to hang out in several different spaces was really nice. Breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked for each person each morning. The house and our room was pristine and beautifully decorated. Siobhan is a wonderful host, making suggestions for sight seeing, dining and helping in any way we needed. Thanks Siobhan for a truly wonderful holiday. Una and Ken

United StatesClean, attractive, and comfortable accommodations. Delicious Irish breakfast, adaptable to tastes. The beautiful and peaceful Bantry Bay lapping at the property’s edge is therapeutic. But the best feature is the proprietress. More than great company, Siobhan addressed all our crises of transportation, telecommunication, and subsequent accommodation, making calls personally. Beyond providing excellent recommendations on places to dine, shop, and visit, she even spent an entire day driving us to remote garden spots and stunning mountain vistas that we dared not attempt to reach ourselves. She became our Irish friend.
