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.).

Sri LankaThe location on Google maps is quite inaccurate leading us to struggle to find the location
The room was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We had a very long delay on the train and arrived well after midnight. We were very warmly welcomed and helped. We decided to stay another night and unfortunately all rooms here were booked so we moved to a new inn only 100m down the road under the same owner called the classic lake round (not yet on Google). This was equally good in quality but slightly cheaper. Many thanks to our host Sunil who was very kind and welcoming Location was also perfect

EgyptThe hotel was up on a small hill, so if you have luggage you will go up by car or tok tok and for the daily walks you will hike up and down, its not hard but still it's not like walking in a straight level street
The location was nice near the lake, the room size was good and clean and the staff are nice

SingaporeThe short stretch of road leading up to the hotel was dimly illuminated. Advisable to use handphone torch or a separate one if walking back from town at night.
It’s just off the main road, via a 100m or so incline road from the junction. Small peaceful single storey building partially hidden from gate entrance but sufficiently signposted. Less than 10mins easy walk to the town centre. Friendly and helpful staff - Madhu and Petti always around to help with any enquiries. They also serve good breakfast upon request- check their photo-menu.

SwitzerlandThe biggest drawback in this guest house is the noise from the other rooms and also the lobby. The first night only few other guests were there and it was ok but the second night the guest house filled up and it got really noisy. Also, could be a bit cleaner.
Simple guest house, but very new with (for this price) good bathroom. Great location, near the lake, 10 min along the lake to the city center, tooth temple and so on. The owners and staff are super friendly young Sri Lankans, who help you with your travel plans and gave me the best tip on how to get reservation tickets for the crowded train to Ela (without using the black market!).

ItalyUnfortunately the walls are very thin so you can literally hear anything happening in the other rooms, it’s not nice. There is no fridge in the room. The view from the room is not the lake and neither a nice garden.
It’s inside a courtyard that looks pretty old but their building behind looks new. The room is basic but clean with ac and all you need for a night. The staff is friendly and helpful.
