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 StatesMaybe keeping the water from the shower out of the room was a bit of a challenge. Could use a low floor lip or barrier to help?
Location was perfect especially if considering the great hikes into the canyon.

United KingdomThe air-con / heater control occasionally had an intermittent fault which would cause it to keep knocking off even though room temperature wasn’t at the desired feel.
It was immaculate, it always smelled incredible and it was in such an amazing location.

Best hotel we have ever stayed in. Very spacious room, with an enormous bathroom which was originally a cave. New hotel, very clean, very well maintained. Excellent breakfast. Very helpful staff. Perfect location in a non-crowded part of the old town. No doubt - a perfect place to stay.

ItalyAdvertised as having a fireplace and that's the main reason we chose this place. The fireplace existed but was not operational. It's winter and we were very disappointed on not being able to use a fireplace.
Comfortable rooms, and beds. Great location, friendly staff. We would stay again.

United StatesThe closest I can come up with a negative is that the great shower they had never seemed to get the sprays to work (some type of spray that scented the shower). Personally, we just laughed about it.
Wow! An amazing town and an equally amazing stay at this five star hotel. The staff was great, breakfasts awesome (and man who waited on us was a class act like from a Downton Abbey scene) and room (including view) much bigger & better than expected. The location meant a lot of uphill walking, but that's part of its charm. We have already told a number of people about this wonderful place.

United StatesWe ended up paying quite a bit more for an upgrade since the room we booked, was less appealing than the one my daughter had, plus we wanted to be adjacent to her room.
The location was great with a beautiful view of the caves. The rooms were spotlessly clean. It’s was fun the sleep in a cave.

United KingdomIt was all exceptional - including excellent staff and breakfast. By the way - don't know why there is a sad face with this review I literally couldn't have been happier - and I'm not a happy person.
If you come to Matera you have to stay in a cave. If you're gonna stay in a cave then splash out and stay in a luxury cave. I don't normally splash out but I feel this accommodation absolutely delivered an exceptional experience - go on you know you're worth it!

The property is located right in the middle of everything you want to see! Walk out your door, take a few steps, and you’re on the threshold of where you’re going, whether it’s sightseeing, hiking the gorge or getting a bite to eat. It’s perfectly located! Staff was also very friendly, dedicated to keeping the place spotless, and ready to help with our every need. It was a true highlight of our 10 day Puglia trip!

United StatesCan’t decide if the hotel design, scent, location or the service was more exceptional… It is a unique hotel, worth every effort to stay there. Their service is top notch. We had two bedrooms (4 adults) and everyone was so pampered and we felt relaxed, happy, woke up in beautiful bedding and ambience. Did I mention the scent of their rooms?? Fantastic stay, we will happily always go back!
