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.).

GermanyWe booked a private tree house and were greeted with the words "I'll show you the tree house, and if you don't like it, we have another one". We had a look at both and the second one was much better. The price was the same. Be careful if you're the last one to arrive that day, you might end up in the "prototype" room. There's no reception/wifi. We witnessed them being overbooked a few times which is due to them not being able to check their reservations online whilst people extend/book with them in person... We didn't like the way staff was "upselling" things. It would be nice if they had a price list for food/drinks/activities, so you don't have to ask every time. They would also be better off to factor the cost of dinner into the room rates (which would still be cheap) as dinner seemed expensive compared to the room rates.
Staying in a tree house is cool and we enjoyed watching the birds and monkeys from our tree house. It's also a good place to meet other travelers and be social. We met lots of great people there!

South KoreaNo hot water and bathroom light didn't work. However, is it hot in Sigiriya so no need for hot water.
Breakfast and dinner were delicious. Staff very friendly. Potential to be a great place once construction is finished. Only a certain small area with wifi, so make sure you plan things before going.

GermanyBasic problem was that the hostel was overbooked so we needed to stay at another place which was far away from the Hostel and had mice. The owner tries to convince people to stay longer which lead to overbooking. For the future: either you let people that want to prolong their stay to move to the other place, or you cancel the new booking. We didn’t get what we booked.
Really nice atmosphere and people (mother, Ani and many others).
