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.).

United KingdomWonderful welcome from the host who had thought of absolutely everything a traveller might need, including two little bottles of wine for a night cap. She was also a mine of information about local beauty spots and short cuts that google appeared to know nothing about. We also had a comfy lounge where we were able to meet and chat with other guests. Breakfast was superb and we lingered for ages, all of us chatting together about a whole host of things.

United KingdomThe house is a little remote but as long as you know that beforehand it's not a problem. It's easy enough to find if you follow Michaela's directions and there's plenty of parking.
We were looking to stay at a hotel or pub in the area but having left our booking until the last minute there wasn't much available. We weren't expecting much from Sunrise View but what a find it turned out to be. The house is beautiful, spotlessly clean and in a scenic location. Michaela and her husband were the most delightful, charming, interesting people and it was a pleasure to meet them. It was like staying with long lost friends.

ItalyThe house is located in a very quite and panoramic area, close by DownPatrick head. The room and the bathroom had all the comforts you can wish for (jacuzzi, wine, par fumes, hairdryer exc..). Plus the owner of the house, Michaela, is extremely welcoming and loveliest person in the world. The breakfast was on the highlights of our holiday! Highly recommended, we wish we could have stayed more!!

Michaela is extremely friendly, easy to talk to and very accommodating. The location is amazing, nice and quiet, close to a beautiful beach and the views are stunning wether it’s the garden or the sea view. The breakfast is 10/10!
