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.).

MaltaThe lighting in the bathroom could be a bit better.
They make it a point to make you feel welcome. Left us some snacks and drinks in the mini fridge and also gave access to their kitchen if need be. They cleaned our room each morning. The location is not on a main road, so prepare yourself for off-roading. And if you have luggage, it needs to be carried down a trail path and up the steps into the room. Ana prepared us for the possibility of non-harmful insects since the location is surrounded by nature, which is expected. But they clean each day.

United StatesThese aren't issues, just things to be aware of if they matter to you...the cabins don't have A/C and the view and pool aren't really the draw here. It's a beautiful and historically-accurate property.
I had a lovely couple of nights here, with Ana's warm welcome! The drive down from the main road is a bit daunting but it's totally doable even with my automatic car (a bit tight, don't get a giant vehicle). The buildings and gardens are gorgeous, everything smells amazing, like being in a jungle. The service is wonderful (they even snuck into my room during breakfast and cleaned/made the beds). Breakfast was quite a spread, including fresh local cheese, breads, and Ana's homemade pepper jam. Wifi worked fine. The bathroom and shower were nice, and I enjoyed the upstairs couch sitting area (with a mini fridge, which included a bottle of wine & some local cheese).

GermanyIt was simply amazing! The accommodation was very unique with a great architecture and interior design. Everything was very clean and the view was stunning!! You can look at the stars, the coast, the pool is good for cooling down —- BUT THE BEST is / was our Host Ana. She was such a lovely person and we felt comfortable from the first second. It was our honeymoon and she prepared a bottle of champagne, chocolate, flowers and a good wine for us. That was amazing. She also was available via WhatsApp when we had questions about what to do on the island and it was very pleasant to just have a good conversation after the breakfast. She is a real multi talent and served self made things with the breakfast, that tasted really really good. The breakfast itself was perfect too! Also every advise Ana gave us (restaurants, viewpoint etc) were a perfect match. If you read this rating don’t hesitate and book that accommodation! You definitely won’t regret!

Belgiumnothing was bad.. perhaps creaking parquet if someone wants to sleep, and sometimes risk of having to manoeuvre if 2 cars want to pass at the same time on the narrow road ( but quite common in small towns in portugal).
- nice 2 floors renovated stone house with sea view - calm and secluded but not too remote (15m to restaurants, whales tour, etc) - host ana was always available, keen to help, and very hospitable ( same for other persons working in the property) - breakfast with tasty local products ( perhaps also fruits?) - wifi reliable and quick - there is a pool
