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.).

SpainOur room was next to the kitchen and woke up early the next morning from other guests talking and having their coffee. The guests were not excessively loud at all, but we were able to hear it all from our room. Earplugs would do the trick though and overall, it was not a bother compared to the great stay we had.
We booked late and checked in late on the same day and when we arrived, our room was ready and waiting. Everything was super clean and the beds were really comfortable, there was a basin in the bedroom so we we didn't need to wait for the bathroom to brush teeth or was our faces. The location was beautiful and the shower was amazing after a long day of adventures. Coffee and tea was available and the whole process went super smooth. Would absolutely recommend!

GermanyUnfortunately it might be noisy because of poorly soundproofed walls, if other guests pushes doors or talking a bit too loud.
Nice and clean guesthouse on a farm very close to the endless black beach near Vik. The kitchen has everything you might need and even a range of fresh cookies to taste. The rooms are quite big and the bed is very comfortable.

PolandGreat location (close to Reynisfjara Beach and Vik), clean, comfortable room, well-equipped kitchen (coffee, tea, biscuits) and bathroom (lots of towels, soap, shampoo etc.). We were at a time when the road was closed due to strong winds and we rested in a nice and warm room. We had room no. 1 with a beautiful sunrise view!

CanadaWindows were open when we got there and flys flew in. Maybe the windows can have some sort of mesh to keep bugs from coming in.
Even though the washroom facilities were shared, it was very tidy and clean. The Room was great as well, I like how each room has their own sink to minimize foot traffic to the washrooms.

I enjoyed a large, clean room (I think they all were large). Good ratio of sanitary rooms vs rooms. Clean kitchen with plenty of space to host the guests. Vicinity of Points of Interest and small shopping mall. We did not meet the host, but everything was clear.
