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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

The property was clean and in an excellent location. It was stocked with coffee, tea, water, snacks, washing pods, and everything needed for a great stay. There were maps and guide books, plenty of cuddly towels and amenities such as toothbrushes, loofahs, and a washing machine and dryer function from the bathroom. All wonderful. The hostess also did us a great favor in forwarding some forgotten important items. This was beyond the norm and appreciated.

SingaporeIT IS NOT A DISLIKE BUT… IMPT: Please check / confirm with host re: your sleeping requirements. There were 2 of us and we required separate bedrooms. We had assumed (our bad) we had the use of both of the bedrooms. It turned out that we were both placed in the same bedroom, 2 separate beds, while the other bedroom was laid out as a Japanese-styled ‘sitting room’. We would have had to pay additional (the host eventually waived it as we said there was mention of 2 bedrooms) to use the 2nd room as the host had to lay out Japanese-styled bedding (the futon etc.) The one who slept in the room with two beds was asked not to use the other bed.
Warmly welcomed by host, who was efficient and accommodating (read what we ‘did not like’ about property). She provided house rules and neatly presented and clear instructions (in English) to operating the main home appliances in the house, which were most appreciated. The location of the machiya is 👍🏻 - quiet as it’s tucked away from the main road yet less than 5 mins walk to it. Bus stops and casual eateries dot the main road. The house has a well-equipped kitchen and laundry necessities. Tea and coffee provided as was a small basket of snacks.

BelgiumAs in most Japanese accommodations there is not much storage space, but it is really a minor detail.
This place is a gem. The kindness of the staff is incredible, they accommodated a last minute request to anticipate our check in in respect of the agreed time without any problem. Communication (preferably via message) was very easy and responses fast. The machiya is a delight, superbly well appointed, quiet, comfortable for a small group or family, spotlessly clean. There is everything to make your stay cosy, even for longer periods (we stayed 6 nights). Kyoto's sight on the east side are within easy walking distance (Kiyomizu-dera, Gion and Sanjusangen-do each within 10 minutes) and plenty of buses/taxis to be found on the main road 2 minutes away. It was a true pleasure to stay here while visiting wonderful Kyoto!

absolutely loved the property, location, convenience etc. kitchen was great with an espresso machine and just enough necessary comforts. bath and tiny zen garden butte was an absolute delight. washer was a greatly appreciated feature for us! the bed and pillows were forever than I like, but that is totally a preference… the only thing to note is that there bedrooms - western and tatami room are upstairs (steep risers) and the bathroom is downstairs. It is fact in Japan and just something to note. No complaints and will DEFINITELY request a booking again in the future.

This must be one of the best places I have ever stayed at. And I like to travel comfortable. It is something about it, that made me feel so welcomed and safe and cosy. Every detail of this tiny house is treated by the owner with love, everywhere you turn you can feel someone wanted you to feel at home. And you do. It’s squeaky clean, there are appliances and amenities you may need, you can warm this place in an instance, it’s conveniently located 15min from Kiyiomizudera, in a back alley, so there is no noise when you sleep. Even beds and pillows were exactly to my liking! Above all, it feels like constantly inhabited home, letting you relax completely, without feeling self-aware, as so often happens in unknown places. PS. The house looks better than on the pictures. There’s more space.
