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 StatesThe place has few amenities and is outside town. It's best to have your own car/driver. The bathroom is not as nice as most city hotels, but everything works. It's a good place to spend the night if you are driving through the area.
The staff is very friendly - always checking if we are enjoying our room and meals and happy to go above and beyond to help us. We had a great dinner at a reasonable price and also a delightful breakfast.

BulgariaJust have in mind the location, because it's a tiny road on a hill and it's not easy to get there, especially when it's dark.
It's a really nice British style villa on a hill. The owner is very friendly and welcoming person, we had a great talk over dinner with him. He provided everything we needed, dinner and breakfast were good as well.

MaltaThe WiFi constantly dropped out and we were without wifi most nights. The walls between the rooms are quite thin and you can hear almost everything, even what’s happening downstairs.
The property is clean, spacious and the amenities are modern. It’s a quaint hotel with minimal rooms. The staff are friendly, accommodating and want to provide you with whatever you need to make your stay a good one. Breakfast is by order and whatever changes you require they arrange. The rooms are large, the bathroom has a shower and the hot water and pressure are good. The owner and main guy was beyond helpful and extremely nice 😊

GermanyThe property is situated on a rather steep hill. For us it wasn’t a problem at all since we were with a driver, but the location might need to be considered depending on your mode of transportation.
The food was so delicious and freshly prepared for us upon our order on arrival. The staff was extremely friendly and hospitable, we felt so welcome and comfortable here! The room was also spacious, clean and very comfy. We wanted to head off very early in the morning for a hike and they prepared us our breakfast to go (at 5am!). And they even offered free accommodation and food for our tour guide which we really appreciated!
