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.).

United KingdomThe property is quite big and we have found it difficult to find our room as had to go outside and across the garden, but we made it in the end :) If you plan to arrive late in the evening, ensure you have some food with you as there is only one place with food open in the town and it is not the best as well (kebab place). There is no TV in the room and WIFI was quite poor in our room.
The receptionist was lovely although she did not speak much english. I was very pleased that we were able to book the stay only 2 hours before arriving at the hotel. Breakfast was very good! It was very quiet at night during our stay which we very enjoyed. Bathroom was very clean, the room was ok, had two beds, table and balcony exit.

NetherlandsPrice of bringing dogs should have been published in advance. This was a bit pricey, especially seeing that cleaning after a dog that isn't dirty from the start is peanuts with the linoleum flooring. And on top of that I found the room and especially the bathroom not as clean as I expected. I found some hairs and a dirty toilet roll in the bathroom from the previous occupant(s). Also found the room a bit smelly, seems like it does not get any fresh air at all.
Breakfast choice was great. Lots of food to choose from, very decent breakfast.

PolandSome of the beds (sofabeds) might have been more comfortable but well, you can not have everything for this price. If you need to charge your car, the closest charger I found was two kilometers away.
This is a nice hostel with everything you need for a short stay. Room was comfortable, bathroom clean. A nice location close to the lake. Good breakfast. Key was available for late check in.

NetherlandsThe building on the outside doesn’t look very nice. On the inside it is practical but not very cosy. The selfservice kitchen is small but enough for a simple dinner. The single room is very cramped.
This place is good value for money. The staff is very nice and helpful. The second night I moved to a double room which is bigger. I got a room to the parking but it was no problem to change it to a room with forest view! The building also functions as an academy/university/cultural centre. There is also a common room, places to sit outside and a restaurant (had only breakfast and that was ok) The big plus is the location close to the lake and it’s also very quiet.

FranceI do not like the fact that things were not clear from the begining. I travel all the year in EMEA area and also with my family; first time I lived this situation.
Breakfast was avaialble from 08.00am and not earlier. As we had to catch a ferry end of the morning, we had to leave at 07.30 am. I asked if possible for an earlier breakfast and proposed solution has been to let a kind of breakfast in a frigo close to our room. Breakfast was horrible; no fresh bread, no hot chocolate for kids, no coffee , no milk, no jam, no chocolate pasta...only butter under plastic & a plate with 4 tranches of alami, ham and cheese. No fruit, no yohourt etc... Very disappointing. When we left our house at 07:30; we went through the restaurant and have seen breakfasts were available. Also, last evening, as dinner we just had a soup of vegetables ( A cup of soup); for my 2 kids and 2 adults , we have to pay almost 1000 NOK !!!! come on; it is not acceptable.

Perfect place to stay. Very calm and quite during April season, beautiful landscape. They served great breakfast despite we were only 2 families who stayed during the weekend. It was also great they had kitchen in common area where you can cook, make hot drinks etc.
