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.).

IsraelNothing..
A hidden gem. Wonderful accommodation in a mansion that looks like an old palace. The feeling is like being a guest on the set of a movie where you play the royal couple. The hosts went out of their way to answer all our requests. The breakfast was excellent, with a lot of fresh fruit that was cut especially for us.

PortugalOur neighbors were very loud and not very well-mannered, but no one is immune from this..
This guest house is located half an hour's walk from the center of Amarante in a very beautiful area. The house is simply gorgeous, huge and full of interesting antique elements. The landlord is warm-hearted and very nice. We were greeted with wine, cheese and marmalade - it was very pleasant. Breakfast was amazing, very filling and tasty. I’m very grateful for the welcome and kindness, I would like to wish landlords all the best)

GermanyWe loved everything.
After a long day at the Douro valley, the accommodation at Casa do Fontão was what we needed and could not have imagined! We did a last minute reservation and when we arrived, a glass of wine with some cheese and Marmelade was expecting us, from the nice and sweet host of this beautiful place. The room was cosy and spacious with a comfortable bed and warm blankets, as the weather has not been the best during our stay in Portugal. The next morning a generous breakfast was prepared by the host for us, in a beautiful old-style living room, next to a piano. We would definitely stay there again!

United StatesWell, because of all the rain, it would have been nice if it were closer to town. We had to drive in for dinner and it was hard to find parking. I'm sure in nicer weather it would have been a nice walk.
We loved this place. What a great old house! So many rooms...I kept getting lost. The room was huge. The bathroom was huge. The owner was delightful. Very accommodating and she served wine when we arrived. It was not right in town, but easy to find and onsite parking was easy. The breakfast was fabulous. As huge as the house. Lots of variety, lots of fruit. It was hard to believe this place was so inexpensive. Well worth it.

From a welcome cheese and wine, a beatifull room, through a great breakfast that we could never finish, to wishing us a safe journey. She even walked us out to our car with an umbrella in rainy weather. We could not have wished for more.

EstoniaIt is difficult to drive out of the property uphill, but has nothing to do with the hotel, it's the landscape.
It's a beautiful boutique hotel with large garden and a stunning view on the hills and town. The whole house interior is a manor style antiquities and furniture. The room and the bathroom look royal and are very clean. The hosts are very polite and friendly and offer welcome meal (wine and cheese). Breakfast is very tasty and plentiful and served in marvelous room.

United KingdomNothing.
Absolutely everything. The building is beautifully furnished and maintained, we were offered the opportunity to choose our own room- all of which were different but equally stunning. The host insisted we have some cheese, wine and homemade quince at a time to suit us. We elected to have this in the early evening on the beautiful terrace overlooking the well kept large garden and the green valley below - a great view to enjoy. The breakfast was simply the best we have ever been offered with a huge array of prepared fruits including orange, pineapple, melon and banana. Fresh bread rolls, cooked ham and traditional jamón and sliced cheese. Also cakes - and large individual pots if freshly made tea or coffee. And even scrambled eggs were offered as well! Nothing was too much bother and we had the full run of the house and gardens.
