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 StatesThe cabins were located on the lower deck and were enclosed with no fresh air circulating. No windows or vents to open. Instead, exhaust fumes from the onboard generator were being drawn into the cabin all night making it almost impossible to sleep and downright dangerous. The main doors to the deck were closed at both aft and forward ends when the crew went to bed leaving no air at all other than exhaust entering the main sleeping area. No carbon monoxide monitors in the cabin that we could find. Was informed in the am that they were aware there was a problem and were running on auxiliary systems! Additionally, there was a horrific smell of spoiled food/refrigeration issues in the galley area along with noxious cooking odors. No ventilation. These issues indicate things that should be alarming to any passengers and we had no indication from prior reviews. Will be writing the owners/management of the vessel. The crew was excellent and did a fabulous job with a less than fabulous ship.
The scenery was wonderful. The staff was wonderful.

United KingdomOur dislikes were, as we anticipated was the long drive and a 4 berth bunk bed cabin for 4 adults, which we booked with full knowledge and prepared for, and does not reflect badly the owner.
The crew was friendly and knowledgeable and encouraged guests to use kayaks and tender. The hot tub was clean, hot, and modern, with good availability. The food cooked by the chef on board was 5 star. There were plenty of games and coffee table books to keep guests entertained in the evening.

CanadaThe itinerary......we left the docks for a cruise up Milford Sound only to return to moor for the overnight stay at the commercial harbor. View from the cabin was the docks and other vessels when we were expecting to be moored up out in the isolation of the sound itself The morning cruise was basically the same as the evening cruise just a little further out. Almost to the Tasman sea
The vessel and crew were excellent. Meal was exceptional. Staff were very knowledgeable regarding the Milford sound area. Great to see Milford Sound in the rain as it created multiple waterfalls beyond the two permanent falls (Bowen and Sterling)

United Kingdomterrible video post supper felt like we were conned into a Florida time share chat, totally unnecessary, and everyone aboard felt the same. lots of chat of hot tub being put on, but this didn’t happen until it was far too late. hot tub needed to be put on when people were paddling in the freezing water so they could warm up straight away.
clean, safe feeling boat. chef did a great job of feeding us.

IsraelThe concept is crusing only a couple of hours and then docking until the next day. This does not worth the money
