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 lack of transparency. The ad on booking.com gives no indication you will be staying in their home under their living room. The bathroom was in their house and you had to enter into their front door area to use it. There was no kitchen, just a hotel-like kitchenette. Also a lack of privacy with being in their home. This wouldn't have bothered me had they said in the description that you would be staying in the downstairs area of their house. For $770, i would have preferred to know where i would actually be staying.
nice location, amazing hosts. Hillary and Graeme are such kind and accomodating people. Very warm and easy to talk to.

AustraliaThe advertising for this place was grossly misleading and deceptive. Nowhere is it made clear that the owners live above the unit, another person lives 30 feet away, there are two noisy dogs that roam the place, there is no lockable door between the two and so there is no privacy. Neither is there a lockable entry/exit door so everything is unsecured when youre out of the unit. There is no actual kitchen only a microwave and a very tiny portable oven that wouldnt hold an entire chicken to roast. Instead of staying there to use the outdoor BBQ and spa with family we had come to visit, in the daytime we left as soon as we could each morning and stayed away all day. Conversations between the owners and when on their phones and the loud TV are easily heard, so we found ourselves whispering. The toilet and bathroom are effectively in the owners space, through an unlockable door so again highly unsatisfactory . A dog defecated on the carpet by the bathroom, unnoticed by me until I stood in it with bare feet. On our last night there were a dozen guests at the hosts place on the balcony above the Unit and barely any space to park. At the end of our four night stay we left feeling utterly ripped off and angry at being sucked in to staying at a place where we had no choice but to remain.
The facilities were clean and comfortable.

New ZealandOverall me and my family did have a lovely stay, although I feel this property is not advertised properly at all! The owners reside right over top of the place you have booked. There are neighbors right on the front door step of the place there was no privacy as the owners came and went as they pleased. We even had to shuffle cars a few times because they needed their trailers from where abouts we were staying for $612 I wasn't happy. The bathroom situation is not very ideal either. I would never have booked had I have known that someone lives in there other shed right on the airbnbs door step and knowing the owners reside at the top without being notified and seeing this upon arrival I was not happy at all.
The host are lovely.
