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.).

United StatesThe photos on the booking show a hot tub inside the hotel which was why we booked there. Come to find out it’s unavailable to use with “the price we paid” which I felt like was false advertising.
We loved the location! In the heart of town and east to get around. We were moved from the hostel into the hotel which was fine and it was very comfortable.

GermanyThe kitchen oven was so dirty that it set off the fire alarm when we used it. There are no lids to the pots when we cooked and overall the kitchen could be better equipped.
The guesthouse staff is friendly and very supportive, the room was clean and had a bunk bed and two single beds, all very comfortable. The location is close to many attractions and the harbour where the ferry arrives.

GermanyRoom was very, very small. There was no space to open a suitcase, but we managed. The kitchen is very small considering the amount of rooms. Luckily not all guests wanted to cook, when we cooked. Somebody took the electric kettle to his/her room (no fault of the staff), so we had to heat our water for every cuo of tea on the stove which took ages.
Very central location, clean rooms, comfy bed, clean facilities, plenty of parking in front of the house

United StatesThe WC should have had hand towels. There was a kitchen it was not fancy but functional, I liked it. It had a nice lobby with nice chairs but I had no time to sit in them and drink a coffee and read my book. I do not know if the place was "too expensive" (Iceland is expensive so stop complaining about it) but it seemed like a fair price to me.
The place was nice, clean, comfortable, in a great location. On the down side, the WC should have had hand towels but did not. Best of all the staff was helpful. I need some extra time to work on my computer for some urgent work after I was to check out and I was given extra time to get my work done and then go on my way. This was very helpful. I enjoyed the place and highly recommend it.

IcelandThe rooms are not sound isolated from the corridors/commom area. The rooms on the ground floor are much affected by this as the kitchen and toilet usage can be very noicy. This disturbs your sleep and general privacy.
