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.).

DenmarkQuite a confusion from the staff checking us in, where they were not prepared to receive us when we arrived and were unable to find our booking.
Beautiful location, the gardens was very well looked after with thought for planting and blossoming flowers - giving a fantastic impression when driving up to the hotel. Hotel was very maintained and clean. Lovely lobby/main room with lots of seating area, where you can sit before going into dinner. Dining facilities was a little dark but there is the opportunity to sit outside and eat. Nice little swimming pool to cool off in. Bedrooms where nicely decorated and very clean with a balcony overlooking the gardens and the hills. Waiters were very attentive and helpful and ensured that we had a good service (Thank you Pettersson) We booked a birthday service with decorations for the room upon check in and a birthday cake at dinner - the staff made it a nice little celebration.

KenyaWe were not at all happy with the size of the room. Although we had requested for Gluten free food this was actually completely ignored. One of our Game drive was done in the Nissan which was not comfortable.
We had actually booked into Taita Hills Safari Lodge, We were only informed on arrival that the Lodge was under renovations. There was no communication from us to the lodge that we were coming by train, yet we were informed that a vehicle had gone to pick us up from the SGR station.

RomaniaVery nice lodge situated in Tsavo West Park. Rooms are clean, and in the morning you can find monkeys in the balcony :). The food is good and all the personnel is very kind. In the afternoon you can relax at the pool, they have music and you can have a cocktail. You can book from the lodge game drives in the park (morning & afternoon).

ItalyThe bathroom in our room was very old, all textiles in the hotel (curtains, towels, sheets, chaise-longue by the pool) are worn out. The management of the structure is quite poor: we struggled to get in touch with them prior to our arrival and communication was not very smooth throughout our stay.
The architecture of the hotel, its gardens and the layout are magical. The main hall (and most areas) are decorated with a taste that fits well with the environment. Food was very good, diverse and well suited to all tastes/diets. The staff were kind and professional as rarely encountered elsewhere. They made our stay and the place wonderful. We did two game drives and we enjoyed them very much: Samuel was exceptionally passionate about showing us a good time and the wildlife of Tsavo.

KenyaRoom was too hot during the day and early evening, only a fan and that does little to cool the room, i do not like AC but should be an option. a Balcony to sit on would have been welcome, sitting outside to relax is a good way to end the day

KenyaThe location is superb, just at the entrance of the park. It offers morning and night game drives. The game drive was excellent and the food was also to die for. The staffs were friendly and helpful in every way. Ample parking at the venue too. I enjoyed my two-day stay and hoping to be back sooner. They also have a small world war I museum on the premise that is quite informative.
