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.).

LithuaniaThe bathroom area is very outdated & there's no electric kettle for tea / coffee in a room (or anywhere in the hotel).
Cozy hotel in a quiet location. The room was spacious and comfortable. There is a nice sitting area outside the room. Walking distance from the beach, cafes, restaurants.

IndiaCan improve with maintenance like mosquito net. For solo travellers there is mosquito net along with bed. As family we felt little bit difficult to always have the doors and windows shut without air circulation.
Pleasant stay.

FranceRoom OK but a bit shabby. Quite a few mosquitoes - bring your own net for the bed as they're not provided. Pipe leaked in bathroom meaning the floor was always wet. Building site next door, right next to our bedroom - very noisy from dawn to mid-evening.
A good location close to restaurants and the beach down a (normally) quiet backstreet. Staff helpful and can arrange taxis, etc.

United StatesThey say all rooms have mosquitos nets. I didn't get one until the last night. One worker said they don't provide them for my room type. The other worker installed one for me.
I liked staying at Daphne. The building and location were great. There was a good traveler vibe about the place. And the price was right,

IndiaNothing as such !! If I can add, the bathroom fittings need a change.
I chose Daphne after reading reviews on Booking.com and like always it worked. The property has great ambience, the statue of Lord Ganesha with a lamp burning in front of it, the trees, in the lobby everything created the correct atmosphere. The property is walking distance to the beach, shore temple. Last but not the least, the hotel manager Parthi. He is a gem of a person and helpes all his guests. God bless him!!
