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.).

FranceNo human interaction, but it was winter and there was a storm with closed roads so it wasn't that suprising. Also the restaurant was closed.
I usually stay at the guesthouse but this time I tried the Apartments which is located a bit higher up. The place was empty so it was awesome! The room was big, with a very spacious bathroom with a real bath! Not very practical but it was fun :) The bed was big and comfy and the whole place/location is really quiet. The view was also nice: residential street with only a few houses and the sea on one side, the mountains on the other side. Although there was no common area where you can cook and eat, I appreciated to complimentary tea/coffee and the fact that there was a individual fridge and a boiler in the room, allowing for some (very) minimal meals. It's not an issue, there are a few restaurants in Blönduós. The road were closed the next day but the owner allowed to stay until a few hours after the checkout time without extra, that was a nice gesture.

CanadaThe screens on the windows are not secured so many flies enter. We arranged the netting on the windows to cover better and that did help.
Very spacious! We liked the little balcony, big windows, good blackout drapes for summer nights. The hosts, although we didn't meet them were always pleasant and quick to respond if we messaged them.

United KingdomWiFi didn't work. I believe the hosts will have been aware of this before my stay as someone had previously wrote on the A4 page giving the password, that the WiFi didn't work. Next to a graveyard, but once I settled in that didn't bother me. Not much going on in the town.
Lots of space, warm and quiet and comfortable. Good facilities.

SpainThe place seemed very old and a bit dirty, like dusty. There were lots of signs everywhere telling you that if you dirtied or broke something you would have to pay for it, which felt a bit harsh. They asked to clean the cups and spoons that were there but nothing was there to use for cleaning, no sponge no soap. I think the room could be put into better use by adding a small kitchen with accessories, as there is plenty of space.
The room was very big and had a little fridge and kettle. The bathroom had a nice bathtub and was very big as well.

United KingdomThis wasn’t an apartment, just a normal room in a house. No shower, just handheld shower over rolltop bath, which was slippery to stand in so we had to use one of the towels. Even though there was a curtain round, water went all over the floor. No TV channels, apart from live cam of the volcano currently erupting. Wasn’t a welcoming looking property.

SloveniaThe whole place was quite dirty. There were tons of flies inside the apartment (I'm not talking about one or 2, I'm talking about a few dozen fairly large flies). While the whole place is large, everything was done in a super inconvenient way - eg. the shower is tiny, there are no electrical plugs near the bed, the kitchen felt cramped, etc.
