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 KingdomJust not as luxurious as we had previously experienced, and a wee bit small.
The hosts, Dean & Tomoko were brilliant. Dean was especially helpful, passing on local knowledge of best food, pubs, places to go, and parking of our car!! Thanks for your calm patience Dean😀 Compared to some of the other accommodation we had stayed in, this was probably the least impressive, but the hospitality made up for the bijou room. It had all the facilities you needed, and was comfy enough, just a bit smaller than we were used to, but we had a lovely stay👍

A lot! Our room was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It had a comfy bed, great shower and the patio was a nice space to enjoy. The tea and coffee selection and the bathroom products were high quality and Tomoko our host was lovely. The location close to town was also excellent.

New ZealandTurning a big car in the carpark could be an issue but personally there wasn't a thing we didnt like.
Great staff and a great sized room with good temperature control. The bathroom was enormous and had a spa bath and there was parking outside the door. A short easy walk into town made for a perfect stay. The price was brilliant, great value for money unlike most places nowadays. Look forward to staying here again!

Hong KongSurprised to find a queen bed in the lounge area rather than a pulldown or sofa bed. It was comfortable but meant that we had to sit on the bed or at the dining table as a group which wasn’t ideal.
Friendly welcome and helpful staff who sorted us a second night at short notice when we realised we’d made a mistake with our dates. Clean accommodation, very well positioned for town centre and restaurants.

United KingdomBest Motor lodge we have stayed at. Not only was it quiet which is something a lot of motor lodges fail to be. But it also had the best coffee I’ve managed to find since we started travelling from Auckland. The spar bath was just brilliant. Had a few such spar baths over the previous 3 weeks and this was hands down the best. Parking was good. Distance to centre and shops was a short walk. Staff were great. Very much worth staying here. Just make sure you get the spar bath room :)

New ZealandOnly one thing I’d change is the bedside lamps. The lamp shade obscures the light, not ideal for reading. Everything else was excellent.
We booked 2 bedroom unit. Very clean and comfortable, very spacious. It was very quiet being at the far end from the road. Very welcoming and helpful hosts. Easy, walking distance to centre of the town. Would stay again.
