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.).

VietnamNot much of a complaint, but guests may want to know that the top floor with the balcony and bath tub does not have a shower in the bathroom (only a toilet and sink) the bath is the shower, too. I found it charming, but others might not.
The location was perfect! In the center of old town, walking distance from everything. We stayed on the top floor and the views were great. The bed was comfortable and it was the perfect amount of living space. I also really liked the decor. The staff were friendly and the hotel was easy to find. Checkin was simple and we were a bit early but were able to check in anyway.

United KingdomUnfortunately my air conditioning unit would stop after approx 40 minutes, I had to restart and then it would go again. Bit annoying but not the end of the world.
Super location in the old town; perfect to start walking tour in the morning or grab a boat tour of Lake Ohrid, then also enjoy sunset in the lake and have easy stroll home. The building itself is old so it has a lot of character. Check in was easy, I booked a single room but ended upgrading when I arrived for double as I stayed three nights.

SerbiaExcellent location with a host that takes great care of both the property and her guests. Such busy tourist destinations can sometimes feel too noisy or crowded, but every time I entered this building and my accommodation I had a feeling of serenity I really wasn't expecting at a location so central to Ohrid's nightlife. I'm so glad I made the choice of coming to Villa Jovan, and I would gladly do it again.

KosovoThey have this really cheeky way of "robbing" you 2-3 Euros when paying by card and converting to local currency. Closets are extremely tight, as one would expect in a centuries old house, some people might not like that, I did not mind for a weekend.
Location in perfect. It is an old house beautifully converted into a hostel. You basically pay for the location and the setting, rather than services, but it is worth it!

United KingdomIt’s as expected really. A door bell would be a good addition as reception is not always staffed and the front door is locked. Would also be great if it was possible to make a coffee/tea in the room in the morning.
Great location. Old house with lots of character.

United Statesthe evenings (especially the weekend) was very loud on the street. this is not the fault of the property, and would be true of any location in the old city. It was not clear to me before the visit if breakfast was included (it was not) and there are no common areas at the property. there are plenty of choices in the area, though
great old city location, beautiful historic architecture,
