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.).

IsraelThe bedrooms are very small, there is not enough space for suitcases and clothes. The GPS coordinates differ from those indicated on booking.com, only thanks to the maids who met us along the way we were able to arrive at the place.
This is a nice place for a family with 2 children, but not for a 2 couples. The kitchen had all needed appliances.

RomaniaThe presentation picture with the river next to the house is misleading. No, no, the river didn't change its course over the years, but the picture is probably 25 years old with small vegetation or is maybe taken from a drone because the surrounding trees are at least 5-6m tall and the river is not visible at all.
Due to KLM flight change we arrived one day later in Reykjavik (7PM) and we drove more than 6 hours to Vaglaskogur. We announced we will arrive late and host was very kind and waited for us to give the keys. The house looks like in the pictures and is in a remote location. It is very quiet because is far from any neighbour or facilities. Akureyri (the closest small city) is around 15km away if you use the shortage via tunnel, but do not forget to pay the tunnel (online payment only). I don't remember if the jacuzzi was mentioned in the offer and this is why I don't put it into the negative aspects the fact it was empty.

Czech RepublicBeautiful accomodation in the middle of the forest. It is beautiful, clean and huge. There is a coffee machine, BBQ and a huge terrace. The accomodation is located in a remote area and it is possible to see the northern lights.

This is a lovely and cozy wooden cabin. It is placed very close to the ring road literally in the woods. It was so peaceful and quiet- the perfect place to relax. The cabin is very comfortable with everything you need. The beds were great. I wish we could stay longer.
