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.).

IsraelThe terrible stairs to the room. Not for guests who have difficulty in climbing, aspecialy with luggage....
A great country hotel for a short stay for a day visit to Ghithorn. The hospitality is personal by the owner of the place, Ester. Despite the late hour we arrived at the hotel, she waited for us and welcomed us. The room is cozy, spacious, lacking in pampering manners, but comfortable and absolutely satisfactory. We got a room overlooking the front of the hotel and the canal. Real peace. The breakfast was modest but sufficient. We had to define on the evening of our arrival what and how much of each item we wanted. It seems that everything is counted and measured...probably the custom of the place. In the morning we also rented a boat on the spot, and the pleasure of sailing in the canals and the lake was perfect. In conclusion, thank you Esther for the hospitality.

Very nice hotel in a spectacular little village. We enjoyed the room and the freshly set individualised breakfast in the morning. Each guest could order the evening before, what they would like to eat and at what time m, which was a great idea. Very friendly owner. Great location and the posibility to rent an electric boat made this stay perfect for us. Highly recommended!

NetherlandsThe restaurant was not open. For breakfast there was no buffet, you had to choose the day before what you wanted and that's all you were getting next morning. It's less waste, I guess, but I like to see the food before I choose it.
The hotel is away from the busy touristy part - so it was very nice and quiet. The host was very nice.

SwitzerlandPillows are awful, so thick & hard, not at all comfortable. It is bit isolated all by itself & with no full time Reception (perhaps due to lean season), unless you like isolation, it's not for us. Considering the price we paid through booking.com inspite of being a L2 genius member, it seems highly over priced, while similar properties in busiest area are available at much cheaper price.
Host was nice, Room was spacious & clean, bathroom & towels were clean. Free parking in front of the hotel. Freshly prepared breakfast, my wife liked the raisin bread. I liked the idea of no wastage, as you have to preselect the breakfast the night before.

Singaporealthough, walking from the bus stop to the location is not exactly that convenient with big luggage. Taxi cost 30euro for 9 km distance, unfortunately. Checking in is by 6 pm, barely made it - not sure if I will still be able to check if after 6 pm.
The fact that you can rent the electric boat and its location is perfect to start boating - luv it. I think it's the best location to start boating as it's a quiet corner without all the busy traffic - that is an absolute bonus when one is trying to learn how to steer the boat for the first time.

NetherlandsThe hotel wasn’t very close to public transportation, about 30 min walk (which was also nice). It’s a pity that the restaurant was closed.
location, cleanliness, and the boat rental facility were great! Esther was a great host, answered all of our questions. There was no open-buffet but you need to order breakfast a day before (which turned out to be a great experience since we had our own individual table with food ready when we came down for breakfast and there was no waste).
