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 StatesThere are two ways to get here. One is a winding road in the neighborhood--take that one. The other road is the steepest road I have ever seen! Don't take that one--it was tough to walk--much less drive.
Every staff member was so kind and welcoming, the breakfast was delicious, the view from this hotel is beautiful, and the room was fancy but yet still very cozy.

The house itself, the property and restaurant are very nice. Dinner was amazing! Everything is new, the hotel is fresh and tidy! Also the Christmas tree decoration was very warming. Room is just enough and the welcoming hand-written letter is something I really appreciate!

United Statesloved the beds! Slept so comfortably. Very quiet and relaxing. The pool and the view from it were spectacular. Loved that it felt like we were out away from the bustle of the city. Everyone who works here was so kind. Shoutout to V, makes the best mojitos and best salmon sandwiches!! Also gave us great hike and beach recommendations as well! We had the best time and will definitely be back

United KingdomThe only downside is the car park which is pretty tight to get into, but there is an ‘overflow’ one just down the road which is easier.
A stunning house, beautifully restored and decorated. A gorgeous location with views out to sea. Delicious food - breakfast was the right amount and the dinner was high quality. It was nice to see some alternative options on the menu, different to the local restaurants. Restaurant staff were charming. The room was beautiful - classic decor creating a very romantic vibe. The balcony although small was the cherry on the cake!

South AfricaMy room only had a tiny window high up, fortunately I don't spend much time in the room other than sleep so I didn't mind too much. The bathroom has a lovely large window with a nice view. Aside from 3 restaurants at the bottom of the mountain and a small beach there is nothing else within walking distance.
Small quiet hotel with friendly staff. Nice view, gorgeous building and very delicious breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful. The poolside is a great place for a pre-dinner cocktail.

Belgiumlet me think ........ i cannot find anything. The location and staff exceeded all our expectations. The staff in particular succeeded in giving us that feeling of "being at home, away from home.
We arrived late at night, due to the plane's late arrival. Having notified the staff, they gave us a detailed explanation how to enter the premises after hours. Allthough we did not expect it, a late evening snack had been provided in our room, which was quite welcome. Next day we got treated on an excellent combination of buffet style breakfast and table service in a wonderful setting. Do not go to the trouble of looking to find somewhere to eat the first days of your stay as the hotel's chef is really set up to provide you with delicious meals and treats.
