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 ZealandThe spa bath isn't really a negative but we didn't want to use it because it worries us that other guests may not like the noise. And they use a lot of water. However, if you have had a busy day it is a good way to relax.
The bed was really comfortable and having a separate bedroom was very nice since we stayed four nights. The motel was very easy to find and a short walk to town centre. The owners were lovely and very helpful. I appreciated being able to do a little washing.

United StatesNothing. We enjoyed every bit of our stay.
By far the best place to stay in Nelson & the Top of the South! The owners have put tremendous effort and thought into making sure you will have a terrific stay @ the Palazzo. The rooms are pristine, bright, modern and stocked with all you could need whether you are staying for one night or a couple weeks. The housekeeping staff was very thorough, friendly and accommodating. The grounds were always clean and well-lit. Should you have any questions regarding places of interest, restaurants or where to find things in Nelson or the surrounding area, the staff is very knowledgeable and has a genuine desire to help. They treat you like friends.

An excellent choice. We have stayed in Nelson on numerous occasions but the Palazzo was by far the best. The owner, staff were so friendly and obliging and nothing was too much trouble. We had the one bedroom apartment which we thought was exceptional value for money given what we had previously paid for hotel accommodation in Nelson. The lounge, kitchen and dining area were a very good size and equipped to a very high standard. The bedroom whilst not massive was ample size for a large double, fitted wardrobe and bedside tables again of good quality and very clean. The bathroom was very big and well stocked with quality towels and toiletries . We also decided to have the continental breakfast which brought daily to our room and was excellent value for money. Would highly recommend and will definitely rebook when we next return to New Zealand.
