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.).

AustraliaQuite a walk up to the top from town. The very bazaar welcome of people screaming was quite disturbing. I recommend checking before booking in regards to private retreats being held up stairs that are loud with disturbing screams. Also if a retreat is operating rooftop yoga is not available.
Spacious room with comfortable facilities. Quiet location away from town traffic. Friendly staff

SwitzerlandThe inner hotel is spatious, with nice, elegant decoration. The room is large, with a private balcony. Friendly staff. The nearby restaurant Nirvana, recommended by the staff, makes tasty food and is again quite elegant without being posh. As this hotel is about 15 minutes by foot from the center of Tapovan, you enjoy quiet nights.

FranceIt is steep to get there and you can only reach by foot. No help given with the luggage by a staff that is not super friendly. The yoga hall as well as some bedrooms are difficult to reach through many staircases and steep paths. There is no restaurant in the hotel, not even breakfast. Lots of monkeys came on my balcony (it did not bother me but it might to some people).
The hotel is away from the street noise. The rooms are spacious and clean. The beds are comfortable. There are good restaurants, yoga centres and spas within a few minutes walk of the hotel so one can actually spend a few days just staying there and not have to go anywhere. Not very far from the streets, Ganga riverbanks etc.

New ZealandI found the location was a bit too far and there was too much walking back to the hotel in the dark as a solo female. It didn't have a restaurant as such, but you could order food to be delivered to your room. I would have preferred a dine in option as this could be somewhere to meet other guests.
The room was big, had great views and its own balcony. Staff were friendly and helpful. Was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle and the room was pretty quiet.

United StatesInstead of a double bed, we had two twin beds pushed together. We managed, but it wasn't the most comfortable. Also, the shower was a little wonky and the tub looked very old, and not worth trying out. They did offer room service, but the Western food wasn't that good.
The location was good- close enough to Tapovan and the restaurants and shopping, but far enough away that the traffic wasn't too crazy. The view from our room was fantastic, as well. The internet was fast enough for video calls and meetings.
