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.).

MexicoThe lack of an elevator was a minor inconvenience to me, so in my perspective, it didn’t overshadow the overall magnificence of the experience. (I’d say it’s a perfect place for light travelers or those with a helping hand, who are looking to rest and spend some indoor time for some self-indulgence and care.)
This stay was a perfect blend of style and warmth, adding a delightful touch to my travels. After having stayed at a snug room with limited space for my favorite activities, like journaling and postcard writing, I luckily found accommodation at this pretty BnB for an extra night. Monique, was wonderfully attentive, ensuring a smooth check-out for my early departure the next day. Her warm welcome with a delicious very Holland-orange King’s Day cake, set the tone for a truly enchanting stay. The accommodations exceeded my expectations, offering luminous ample space and a cozy yet refined atmosphere. Equipped with modern amenities, including a hair iron! (which helped me to finally look presentable for a final dinner that day). Gracias, gracias, gracias. 🙏🏻

United KingdomThe wooden staircase was quite difficult to negotiate as we were on the second floor, but as our host explained the building dates from 1750, so can't be changed. We are in our early sixties and it was manageable but might be an issue for people with mobility issues or those with larger items of luggage.
Room was spacious and clean with facilities including a fridge, kettle and coffee maker. Lots of little extras including choice of tea bags and full size toiletries in the bathroom. The view from the window over the canal was lovely. The host very kindly allowed us to leave our luggage at the property earlier in the day and this was already in our room for us when we returned.

ItalyHart van Leiden is strategically located on the Oude Singel, close to both the city centre and Leiden Centraal Station. My room was on the top floor, big and cosy, with a comfortable bed, fridge, kettle and coffee machine. A table, armchair, sofa and a large wardrobe completed the pieces of furniture, while the room offered a nice view of the canal. Overall, the hotel is very well taken care of and squeaky clean, so it was easy to feel at home. Monique was a very friendly host, with always a kind word for guests. Hart van Leiden is strongly recommended for anyone visiting Leiden as well as Amsterdam.
