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.).

Czech RepublicThe car is parked directly in front of the accommodation, which is very nice. We took advantage of the bath in the nearby thermal springs, but they are quite cold, so we didn't enjoy them as much as those in other places. During our trip, this was the only accommodation where we had to put on and take off the bed linen ourselves.

United StatesFew minor notes for not giving a full 10 score - the Wifi was a bit slow not a major issue for us, but the kids complained :). Also why the location is very nice by the bay the apartment we got did not have direct water front view. Both not a major issues.
Facility was cute. A full apartment with two bedrooms, living, dining, nice clean bathroom, full kitchen adequate cutlery. Comfortable beds. A nice note from host. Self check-in with keys left right at the door. Location is also great , right by the bay.

BelgiumThere is only 1 shower, which can be annoying when the guesthouse is at its full capacity
The guesthouse has a fantastic kitchen super equipped, with a very large area to eat. Very modern but at the same time cozy, super clean with very nice rooms and comfy beds. We were the only guests as it was the last day of the season and the owner upgraded us with two rooms instead of one. Very appreciated :) There is also a natural hot spring not so far from the guesthouse that you can use.

SpainIt would have been nice to know that using the hot tub costs 1700 ISK per person instead of getting caught off guard when approached by the unhappy caretakers.
Rognvaldur was extremely nice and easy going. He came by to greet us and best of all to let us know when the auroras were out. The apartment was AMAZING! It had all the basic necessities and was perfect if you do not plan on cooking an elaborated meal. We loved that there was a hot pot right across the street. The apartment was easy to find and while far away from everything it was also close to where you need to get to. The bathroom was great and everything was clean and newly looking. Linens and towels were fresh. Beds were comfortable. Huge windows to look outside.

United StatesHaving only 1 shower could be problematic but it was fine for us. We showered late at night after we used the hot spring across the street.
The host was so welcoming and funny. He also made sure to answer any questions and gave us tips for our next days trip. The guesthouse was clean and comfortable with a nice kitchen that everyone could use and plenty of seating. We stayed here as we came up from snaellfus peninsula and worked our way north to the Westjfords.
