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.).

New ZealandThere was no-one on reception, seemingly at any stage. I had to ring him offsite and get him to come down when I needed him.
I very much liked that the room had a heat pump, and a washing machine and dryer in the unit. They were very much appreciated.

AustraliaNothing really. There were a couple of items missing from our room when we arrived, but this was quickly rectified when we spoke to the manager.
The apartment was very clean and comfortable and well fitted out. It is across the road from supermarkets, restaurants and cafes, petrol etc. It is any easy 30 minute walk into the city. The manager, John, was very helpful when we needed something.

New ZealandThis feels like it was living off past glories. The rooms are tired and poorly maintained. The units would benefit from coat hangers in the wardrobes, fresh pillows, chairs that didn’t have tears in them. Ideally the units should have double glazing, each morning the windows were covered in condensation. The heat pump would be temperamental and would either blast loads of hot air or stop. The reception wasn’t staffed when open. When the power stopped working the staff had no idea how to resolve.
This is in a great location, with great facilities, excellent Wi-Fi and a washing machine and dryer in the bathroom. We had a unit at the back and there was little traffic noise. The kitchen is a good size and comes with everything you need for a meal. It’s close to a supermarket and an easy walk into town. It’s also on a bus route if you want public transport. Each unit has a parking space.

AustraliaThe beds weren't very comfy and the pillows were terrible. Would have liked either a second or third pillow or for them to be fluffier. The water pressure in the shower was good however the heat would randomly turn cold without touching the nozzle. Finally the rooms were cold, the heat pump didn't seem to pump out much heat. If it wasn't for the electric blankets it would have been unbearable
Quiet location, good size rooms. Liked there was washer and dryer. Shower had good water pressure. Staff were friendly. Good value for money. Like they had electric blankets
