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.).

Fab location, lovely property. Liked the set up in the bedroom with 2 comfy chairs and views in 2 directions. Loved the breakfast. Suzanne made us very we welcome and could not do enough to make our stay an absolute pleasure. Good to get away from theTV for a few days.

United KingdomExceptional in every way. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a b&b room that has been so carefully thought out - mine even had a walk in wardrobe. But Suzanne, the host, really made everything special. I don’t think I will ever forget my stay in this beautiful lodge in a stunning part of the world.

United StatesSignage is minimal and the driveway difficult to find. Make sure to use aer code, it was very helpful.
This was a delightful stay! Suzanne couldn't have been nicer. She wanted to share driving tips and plan out roads on maps she had. She made a marvelous, delicious breakfast for us and sent us on our way with tea and water. The room was spacious and the bathroom and dressing room wonderful to get ready in the morning.

United StatesIt was perfect.
Amazing place. I wish we had more nights here. Suzanne, the owner, made it memorable, cozy, inviting! While we were out for dinner, we came back and found a fire going in the kitchen and sitting room. The morning breakfast was scrumptious - homemade scones, French pressed coffee, fruit and yogurt with choices of muesli, or similar toppings. She gave us recommendations for dinner and hikes in the beautiful Glendalogh National Park. We will be back!!

Our hostess went above and beyond. We had car trouble that couldn't be fixed until the next day. She drove us into the local town for dinner and then came back to pick us up when done. The next day dropped us to our car and made sure all was well before leaving. The house itself is beautiful: gorgeous setting, big comfortable room with spotless facilities. Lovely big fruit scones for breakfast looking out over the amazing garden.

United KingdomThe room was comfortable and cosy. The host was very friendly and helpful. She hung up our wet things after a rainy walk and loaned me a spare coat to wear to dinner. The location is perfect - we saw lots of birds and wild foxes from our window. Breakfast scones were delicious! Thank you for a lovely stay.

PortugalThere was only one thing we didn’t like, we had to leave!
There is no right word to describe our staying! The environment was stunning! The house was spotless! Everything was absolutely beautiful and amazing! The hostess is the nicest lady on earth! She prepared us the most amazing breakfasts, with homemade scones, and since we’re not able to rent a car, and taxis are difficult to find in that area, she predisposed to drives around, she was so nice to us! As I said there’s not right, or enough, words to describe how amazing our staying was! Regarding the room, it was beautiful, very we’ll decored, cozy and had all the essentials! Ohh, if you book the room with the extra large bed, believe me when I say, it’s extra extra large! The bed it’s very big and very very comfortable!
