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 KingdomThe bathroom was small, although the shower was a decent size, but the placement of the toilet and sink made it a bit awkward to get in and out. There was a step up into the bathroom after you opened the door, so once the door was closed, you had to be careful not to slip down off the step. Breakfast was at a cafe downstairs, which was just coffee and pastry/cake.
The accommodation is on Ortigia Island, which is beautiful. Location was good and walkable to everything on the Island and around a 30/40 minute walk to other main sites. The room size was adequate.

CanadaThe check in was precarious and depended on our having a phone plan and familiarity with WhatsApp. It was only by good luck that we came upon other guests who could help us make contact. Other guests were also in the building with similar frustration from being unable to contact anyone on site.
The location was on a main square with glorious fountain. It was within walking distance to the main sights and convenient to the bus routes that took us to more distant mainland spots.

United StatesWe were exhausted and needed sleep. Because it is on the main piazza, the garbage truck comes and picks up the bar bottles from the restaurants--at 1:00 a.m.. The first night what sounded like a jet airplane hovered near out room--at 3:00 a.m for about 20 minutes (some kind of compressor/pressure washer maybe?). That was followed by the street sweepers at 6:00 a.m. So this wasn't the best place for us in that respect, The restaurants were't noisy at night and the piazza was otherwise very quiet.
The size of the room and the comfort was very good. We thought we would like the location on the piazza, and in many ways, that was wonderful. The host was amazingly kind and very very helpful.

PolandI wanted to check in before the time indicated by the host, or at least leave the luggage for some time before the check-in, but it was hard to get the response from the host about it, even I was reminding about it a few times. And I wanted an information only, to arrange my stay. It was disapointing because it almost spoiled our day in Siracusa.
The room was very comfortable, very comfortable bed. Nice decor of the room and the building. High ceilings. Breakfast is served in the cafe downstairs - veeery tasty, great option! The location is PERFECT, just in the middle of Ortigia. In the historic (or looking like) building. We had a room with the piazza view so it was cool, but noisy - mind it if you care about such things :)
