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 StatesNothing really - all good.
The property was central in the Sassi and exploring everything was walkable. The breakfast room is lovely. Our room was great! Comfortable and modern in an ancient setting. The cistern was below our room- you could look inside!

United StatesThe best breakfast, amazing cave room, amazing host and hostess. Their breakfast ensemble was better than any of the 5 star restaurants we have been to. The owner and his wife go above and beyond to make sure that everything is cared for. The lady bakes her own pastries and stuff for the breakfast.

United StatesThe room was big enough for our family of four, but had no privacy for the shower or toilet which was a little tough for our teenagers! It was also quite a walk from our car, but the location was great.
The location in the Sassi was amazing! Breakfast was quite the spread - more than we could eat. And Enzo and Maria were great hosts. Enzo helped us arrange a walking tour of the city which was great!

CanadaThat we had to leave haha - there is nothing that we did not like. Our stay was wonderful.
I had asked for a gluten-free breakfast and our host provided a homemade gluten-free breakfast made with more love than I had experienced in my own country. The room is beautiful and cozy. Our research let us know that there is a humid smell across these types of cave rooms but the damp smell is not unpleasant at all! It's quite comforting actually. Everything was absolutely perfect.

United KingdomAmazing stay! Can't say enough good things about this B&B. The room is incredible and has everything you could need, coffee, tea, fridge, free prosecco (!), and the huge bath/shower cave at the end of the room was amazing. Pictures don't do it justice! The breakfast was also the best we've had from a B&B (we didn't need lunch at all), and the hosts were great with advising what we should see during our stay.
