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.).

TanzaniaThe bed twin beds are not very comfy. They are small, for a tall person not ideal The duvets need to be upgraded. The shower needs to be checked. The button for changing the water to the overhead is faulty. Fumigation is necessary in such kind of a facility. Cocraockaches were on my face at night. Fighting with them on the first night justified that the beddings have not had thorough checks before.
The staff was amazing and very helpful. They assisted in getting me a genuine mechanic to check my car. The breakfast was great. The environment was exceptional The design of the house and the space felt like home.

Suzanne also came up with a number of ideas for things to do and how to do them without our own car or driver. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are returning for the last night of our holiday!!

After a warm welcome, the team did everything to make my stay as comfy as possible. Friendly and flexible! I loved the garden where birds and tree hyrax came to visit. The breakfast was a feast, with the pancakes as a highlight. If you look for a home away from home, and a perfect location for visiting Nairobi and surroundings this is the place!

United KingdomThe gardens have a pond, and at night there was a lot of noise. Lots of strange nature callings and little creatures that disturbed our sleep. There were also a number of mosquitoes - although we did have a mosquito net.
The service was outstanding, and it is a truly beautiful and lovely place to stay with access to pretty gardens. It is within walking distance to The Hub for shopping, and we felt incredibly safe at all times.

South AfricaThis guesthouse is situated in a serene green environment with a lovely garden. It is close to malls, markets and nature activities. The staff is engaging and attentive to the needs of their guests and will go out of their way to accommodate requests comfort of guests. The standard room had a comfortable bed, even for those over 1,86m! Rooms are serviced everyday and are sparkling clean. Breakfast is served at times convenient for guests and they provide a great variety of hot and cold foods. We highly recommend Spurwing Guesthouse!

KenyaThe only negative note was the very cold weather in Nairobi, which affected also the temperature inside the accommodation, particularly in the dining room. The night has been ok with the provided hot water bottle.
Dinner (fish filet, French fries, vegetables) was excellent. Impressive choice of food for breakfast too. Supportive and friendly staff. I'd recommend a stay in this guesthouse.
