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.).

SerbiaThe flat could have more stuff, e.g. salt. Originally we got only 3 towels for 3 people, but after asking the host it seems this was a mistake and we were quickly given more. Not the fault of this flat but the resort or the entire area: - The beach is somewhat dirty, didn't notice anything in the water but on the ground next to water there's lots of random plastic, a real shame for the setting. Generally everything else was clean. - The offers in the surrounding are quite limited. There's a mall nearby with a supermarket, but it's quite small, e.g. not possible to buy meat there. Most nearby restaurants seem crappy (check Google reviews).
Overall satisfied. The flat is nice and big, the kitchen and everything else functions well. The resort is pretty, nice big swimming pool with a great view of the Dead Sea and sunsets. Private beach is close and great for swimming in the Dead Sea, every time it was quite empty - from the water we could see the Marriot beach in the distance, it's probably nicer but there were 30ish people in the water while we were alone, a private swimming experience! Overall the location is good - even possible to do day trips to Amman, Madaba, Kerak, As-Salt, .. but see negatives on location.

SlovakiaA spacious apartment, with two complete bathrooms, one bedroom, a living room with a kitchenette, and a nice balcony, with a nice view of the Dead sea. We liked the resort as well, there is a nice small beach in the resort, a couple of pools (we didn't use them as the water there was cold, as it was February), a jacuzzi (which was perfect),... Good price in comparison with other accommodations in the area. Totally recommended.

RomaniaLovely location and views to the sea, beautiful terrace, two bathrooms, nice interiors, the sofa bed was actually very comfortable to sleep on, we were given water, tea bags and biscuits. The sheets and towels were cleaner than in other accomodations in Jordan. The surroundings are nice and lush, the sea and the little private beach with showers are at walking distance.

HungaryMany reviews are about apartments are not clean, which is unfortunately true. Anyhow, toilet and rooms were clean, kitchen and the shower was not the best, a bit dirty.
The Resort was really nice, so we decided to stay one more extra night, it was worth it. During off-season (January-February) it is really calm, restaurants and bars are not open, but pools are clean and you can enjoy it also the Dead Sea. Staff members speak good english and they are really helpful, you request anything they are there within few minutes.

CanadaThe apartment needs minor maintenance and renovations. It is very expensive. We could only afford one night! Everything else was great.
Check-in was easy and the communication was facilitated by WhatsApp. They send us a comprehensive guidebook which explained everything about the room and the resort. The resort itself is a wonderful place to stay. Thefe are 3 pools and an exclusive beach. Food is available at a bearby mall as well as in the resort. The staff are responsive and accommodating. The apartment is spacious and comfortable.

NetherlandsA tip is to clean the sun beds, they are dirty especially at the hotels private beach. Also the hygiene in the bathrooms can be improved. You cannot easily walk from one resort to another for example to go to a restaurant. Basically you are stuck to the resort, which is boring.
The room / apartment was very spacious. It contained a little kitchen including even a washing machine. The terrace of our room was very spacious too and had a great view on the Dead Sea. The swimming pool was also nice and offered a nice sunset in the evening. Great!

United KingdomNot so much the apartment itself but the resort had a few things. Like the pool/billiards area. They said it has table tennis and a pool table. The cues had no tips so couldn’t play, and the table tennis wasn’t there. Plus a few other things like the jacuzzi not working until our last day. Not massive things, but all things that weren’t as advertised. The lack of places to eat on site was also a bit annoying. We had to eat at the mall each night.
The apartments were a really nice size with every h you need for a comfortable stay. The beach and Dead Sea within an easy walk. The pools were fanatic. 2 nice sized shower rooms. Clean and modern. The staff were also very helpful and very nice. We also had a nice view from our apartment.
