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.).

SingaporeWe just had one issue with a reindeer sleigh activity that we booked through the hotel. There was some sort of miscommunication between the reindeer company and the hotel, and we ended up with a bad experience and paying more than the cost if the service given to us. The hotel promised us a refund of the extra amount we paid, but took a very long time to deposit this into our account. It wasn’t until we complained to booking.com that they refunded us.
We got an upgrade to a cottage with a kitchen and it was very beautiful. It was clean and comfortable, and tastefully decorated. We had dinner at the restaurant both nights and the food was good although quite expensive. It is a cosy hotel and we really loved our stay overall. There is a Mexican lady at the restaurant and she is very warm and kind. She went above and beyond to make sure we are eating well at breakfast. There is also a Philippino gentleman who is very helpful. The other staff were also courteous and friendly.

United KingdomVisit end Sep 23. One of my top 3 hotels out of over 30 I stayed at during my 5 week trip in Norway. Beautiful location with exceptional rooms, spaces and the most helpful and friendly staff out of all the places I stayed. Amazing food and ambiance. Contemporary and eclectic. Will definitely be back!

United KingdomRoom was quite hot but then we've stayed on the hottest day of the year. Small space for hanging things.
All the staff spoke great English, made us feel welcome and relaxed. It's a peaceful, family run atmosphere which has been decorated beautifully throughout. The food at dinner was delicious- all three courses, and breakfast choices were very good too. Water pressure in the shower was great! Really nice small touches like the quality of the shampoo and showergel and that there was both hand wash and cream in the bathroom, gave it a more luxury spa feel. Plus having usb sockets built into the headboards made charging devices easy and not on the floor for once!! Overall though it's the staff that made us feel welcome and comfortable.

FranceA little disappointed that after contacting and requesting a restaurant menu (to meet the requirement to reserve a table 48 hours before), the menu was not available and only 2 options were available (the food was nice, but is pricey).
Fantastic location and we were lucky enough to have spectacular views of aurora borealis. We stayed in a lodge; this was a good size, really comfortable and it was nice to put a log fire on. Breakfast and meals were served in the main building... slippers provided. Staff were helpful and friendly, doing some extra 'gritting' on the path to make it easier to get luggage to the lodge.

A bit outside of Alta in a beautiful mountain forest. The team was incredible helpful and friendly, preparing everything in a perfect way - there was no need to ask anything from our side. Pretty modern cabin with full view windows and a LOT of space. Dinner was excellent and the breakfast had everything you would like to have for a good start in the day. Really happy with our choice to stay there - so we will come back for sure. :)

NorwayIt is a bit pricey. Thin walls, it sounded like they were moving furniture upstairs at midnight so it was hard to sleep.
Very cozy and modern lodge. We were very happy that the early check in was available. Very nice staff working in the morning, they even opened the breakfast one hour earlier for us. (Thank you so much Anja!) Very nice with the friendly sheep living right next to the lodge, our son really enjoyed feeding them.
