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.).

PortugalI can't complain. If I had to say some things, I might note that people who have problems with stairs might want to avoid upper floors. It wasn't an issue for us. The noise isolation isn't the best, but that also depends on your luck with neighbouring visitors.
The guesthouse is in a great location. The room was quite spacious and comfortable and had coffee for us. It was also quite clean. There's a garden outside if that's what you're looking for. In Porto, where space is precious, that was quite enjoyable. Geraldo has contacted us on arrival, and we checked in a bit earlier. Then he helped us chart a route for our visit and also gave us tips for the dinner. So from the very first moment to the last, it was a great stay, and I would definitely stay there again.

NetherlandsIt would have been nice to be able to unpack my suitcase. There was no place to put clothes except 4 hangers on a rack. But this was a small thing. There was room to put the suitcase open on the floor.
Owner even picked us up from the train station with his car! Great room with door leading to garden terras. Plenty of room with table, microwave, etc. Location was above the city center, easy to walk there. There was a simple breakfast offered for 8 euro per day. We had good contact with owner via WhatsApp. Even though he didn't speak English very well we managed very well.

United StatesNoise from the music school across the street. The music bit was lovely but sometimes people would be outside at night talking very loudly and it carries into the room I stayed in, which faces the street.
Beautiful furnishings, tons of natural light, very clean and comfortable. Set away from the tourist traps, it is in a more residential neighborhood but is still walkable to restaurants and attractions.

ItalyThe location was up a big hill. To get to the 2 single beds you had to go up a sort of ladder. There was no sitting room apart from a bedroom. The decor was lots of wood and brown tiles...heavy...
Geraldo was very helpful despite speaking little English. He collected us from the station when we arrived in the dark. There was a garden.

United KingdomNot as much of a property but Its beakfast related. I was given a voucher for my breakfast which i could use in a cafe nearby. The voucher states I could come from 8am. I was there at 8:05 but the cafe was closed.
It was a very good stay. In fact I stayed in that guesthouse twice. First time room was quite nice as well but on my second time the room was fabulous. It was a different room on a different floor. Hosts were super friendly and they let me leave my bag for 10 days in their guest house while I went travelling to the other parts of Portugal and Spain.

I appreciated Gabriela being so flexible with my check in / check out time (as I had arrived in quite early & requested a later check out). Thank you! Check in and communication was smooth, easy & covid safe. I stayed in the duplex suite - which was spacious, cosy & comfortable. There is also a lovely peaceful terrace.

JapanThis is tricky because the property has just changed owners. There is no hotel sign outside, so until Madalena came, there was no way to get in. We were on the ground floor, which was a blessing because the stairs are rather steep. The room was fine. Street noise, but oh well. However, there is a mold problem, at least in in our room. We could smell it as soon as we opened the door. There is a place in the ceiling that looks like the origin, possibly originating from the upper floor bathroom. The shower cubicle is extremely small. We had breakfast (catered, which may be due to property owner change?) and it came in a carrier bag. Lots of food, but I’m not sure it was worth 12 euros.
The beds are very nice and firm. There is a hot water pot and coffee maker. Madalena, who seems to be running everything, is brilliant. So very helpful and kind!
