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.).

Couldn’t fault the property. Warm welcome, very comfortable room with a superb view and the use of a very nice lounge/breakfast area + the hostess did us personalised cooked breakfasts on both mornings we were there. Price was competitive too.

United StatesIt was on a hill and parking was on a steep drive and the stairs outside the house were steep and narrow. Difficult for bringing in luggage. It was farther from downtown than I realized. I have a slight allergy to cats and they have a cat.
Lovely host and very helpful. The breakfast was excellent.

New ZealandThe house, lounge and room were beyond beautiful, extremely spacious and comfortable with a wonderful atmosphere. But more importantly - the hosts were just brilliant. Jan and Chris are just devoted to hospitality and it really shows - attentive, caring, warm, with Jan making us wonderful breakfasts every morning we were there, as well as providing a delicious complimentary cheese platter and drinks to welcome our arrival. Chris brews excellent cider, mead and stout which were some of the best we'd ever tasted. We cannot thank these wonderful people enough - a wonderful way to wrap up our NZ journey.

AustraliaStreet parking is limited and you can’t do a U-turn on this road so you’ll have to reverse for a short distance to reach someone’s driveway at a bend before you can drive forward. We found this tricky on the first 2 days, then we got used to it and it was no biggie.
Janet is an amazing host. She made us feel welcomed right from the beginning and we believe our trip was extra special thanks to her hospitality. We greatly appreciated Janet for going out of her way to cook us a tasty hot breakfast every morning, and for offering tips on what we can do/ see/ eat depending on where we plan on going to help us make the most of our time. The room is spacious and clean, and the bed is very comfortable. House keeping comes in every morning and does a wonderful job. The view of the lake and mountain from our bedroom was also stunning.

United KingdomNot an issue for us but people should be aware that the property is accessed via quite a steep incline and we helped one elderly couple with their cases.
Very friendly welcome from Janet. We had to leave very early one morning for a trip but breakfast had been prepared and left in the fridge for us. Room was spacious and comfortable. No more than a ten minute drive from downtown Queenstown.
