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.).

ItalyThe price (a double room for single use) was a little too high in my opinion, also given the low season. There was some problem with the automatic lighting in the bathrooms (not turning on, or turning off too early), but nothing serious.
In an ideal central position in the town, very cozy room with practical water basin. The dining room is very nice and there are other good spaces and commodities.

DenmarkMy bed broke when I sat on it. I didn't like that. Luckily there was another bed in the room. I slept in that.
We had access to plates, microwave and much else, so we could make a decent and cheap dinner. I also very much liked the price.

NorwayNothing wrong, but most rooms share a couple of bathrooms. They also have upgraded rooms with private bath and TV. Breakfast costs extra and is probably a bit expensive.
This is a basic hostel with private rooms, but as such it is of good value. Central location, but reasonably quiet with a good price. Nice staff!

SerbiaWhen I arrived, the place was closed. Completely locked up. And there was a note on the door that the receptionist worked until 6 pm and whoever arrives later should call them. I was in roaming, plus I had no idea about the prefix (only a local number was provided). On a Sunday evening, I went around the town to find somebody to inquire and one man told me about the prefix, so I sent a message. 5-10 minutes later a man appeared and gave me the key. Apparently, they tried to call me on my mobile that afternoon, but, first of all, I NEVER answer the phone when I drive, plus I was in roaming. I booked this place 2 months in advance and they never bothered letting me know that they lock up the place early. I could have adjusted my arrival time, if I had known. Since I could not find the password for the internet in my room and there was literally nobody around to ask, I started roaming around the ghost-town-like place and finally came across a reception (because of the renovation of the place I entered on a side door, not where the reception was) where I finally got the password. The internet then worked perfectly. FAAAAR too expensive for what they offer.
The room was very comfortable and clean, the position of the place is in the centre of the town. The receptionist in the morning of my departure was very kind.
