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.).

GuernseyNot 2 bathrooms, only 1 bathroom and extra toilet and both on ground floor (bedrooms upstairs). No door mat, therefore floor becomes wet and messy. We were given a chalet with a fabulous view but were unable to take it due to accessibility. Deep gully from car to very uneven steps, and with no hand rail to the lodge, not good for less mobile people and children.
Friendly and accommadating staff, very comfy beds and cosiness.

United StatesThe stone walkways made walking difficult. Stairs to chalet were steep and uneven. Handrails on stairs were worn wood that caused splinters on the children in our party.
Location was fantastic, especially the views. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen adequately supplied. It even had a coffee bean grinder. Pool at hotel was nice but costly.

United KingdomWe were quite a long way from the hotel, and there wasn't much else going on in the area, whether it was low season (early June) or not I don't know, but no other eating choices other than the hotel.
As the chalets were self catering no meals provided, we ate most evenings at the mediaeval buffet which was fine. The chalets themselves were fine if a bit limited on power points for charging etc..

PortugalThe place (Chalet 25) REALLY needs a lot of repair. The weather is severe up in the mountains - the wind leaked through most windows. The TV remote is old and about half the buttons don't work. The pellet stove control was completely broken, but fortunately it could be 'controlled' by plugging the stove in to start the fire, then unplug. Repeat until bored with this. Kitchen utensils were minimal. The handover of the ration bag of two Delta-Q coffee capsules for two people/two days was a silly ritual at check-in.
Location is what you get here - spectacular location. Perfect fiber internet - 100 megabits/s. Despite the negatives stated below, the place was warm enough despite stormy weather, and was a nice basic place to stay.
