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.).

BelgiumIndication to reach the house. But we phoned Suzanne and she came to "pick" us.
Warm welcome. Fresh pastries every morning (we stayed for 5 nights).Plenty of space. Suzanne phoned different restaurants to book tables for us. Very kind of her. It was of great help as it was bank holiday and we didn't expect to see so many people. Lovely region, very near sceneries of outstanding beauty. A car is absolutely necessary as it is quite remote but it was what we were looking for. We were delighted.

GermanyEverything was just right.
From the great and very well equipped, very clean flat to Suzanne's hospitality - everything was just right. Plus some surprises in the fridge and warm scones for breakfast. I would have liked to stay longer. It is also very quiet, the garden is beautiful. If you follow the instructions exactly, you will find the accommodation fine.

United KingdomWe loved how Suzanne cared for the environment and wildlife close to the property. We also loved how well stocked the kitchen was, especially Suzanne's homemade treats. Forest View was a magical experience from start to finish and when we get the opportunity, we'd love to go back. Thank you, Suzanne for a truly wonderful stay. Clearly, we'd highly recommend this fabulous property as an excellent base to explore Glendalough and the surrounding areas.

IrelandAn absolutely beautiful apartment/ little contained house in a lovely setting. There were lovely treats upon arrival and there was plenty of stocked food for breakfast were greatly appreciated. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, all you could need in terms of utensils and more. Suzanne was extremely helpful and went over and beyond with all she provided. She sent us very good directions in advance and informed us of anything we needed to know about the apartment, in a Covid compliant manner. We only wish we had stayed longer, already hoping to plan a trip back and we have recommended to others planning to visit the area to book to stay here! Thank you for everything :)
