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 new breakfast set up is not as good as the old one. Please go back to the buffet with ordering hot food. Table service for tea, cereal, fruit etc did not work; have it laid out for people to help themselves.
We’ve stayed here a few times and it always serves purpose well. Clean, well located and staff are friendly.

NetherlandsThe food quality from the restaurant is subpar for the price you pay. The rooms are not soundproof. One night the lodge had a late check-in and crying kids in the lobby, so it was bit noisy. The staff in general was friendly and nice, but on my last day in my room I was hurried to checkout by a staff member when I was still packing the last things in my luggage. I found it somewhat rude, since it was 10:45 at the time and the official checkout time is 11:00.
The room is not very big, but everthing is wel maintained, tidy and clea (considerjng the lodge is already 5yrs old). The bathroom is modern and very clean

KenyaThere are mosquitos in the room, but no net? A noisy fan is not an adequate replacement for a net. I got a few bites of course. An ironing board / Iron in the room would have been helpful.
The hotel was very accommodating booking me in last minute. It was in a great location and very quiet. The room was clean and comfortable. I didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on the food. The staff were very helpful. The shower was great, hot and powerful.

New ZealandTea and coffee making facilities in the room would be a wonderful added extra. Hot water for the shower is a must, particularly after a long and arduous flight. The twin room we were in was noisy as it was close to the dining and reception area.
The breakfast was delicious; fresh with a great variety of cereals, breads and cooked options. Fantastic coffee! Staff were attentive and very helpful. Meals on the terrace in the lovely garden were an added bonus.
