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.).

The place was in a fantastic location, surrounded by beauty. The breakfast every day was great, especially since there are not a lot of nearby food options. The staff was super nice and the room super comfy. Easy parking but be prepared for an intense drive! Highly recommend renting a car.

BelgiumEverything was really good. No complaints.
The room was very spacious and clean. With all the necessary amenities. The breakfast was good with fresh bread every day. The hosts were very friendly and even went the extra mile to ensure that we had some gluten-free options when requested. With the main attractions in Flores being on the west side, it is a great place to stay during the visit.

HungaryIf you want to use a washing machine, you have to pay extra for that.
Local accommodation operating in a large family house, where several rooms are rented out. The accommodation is well located, the wifi worked well, everything was clean. The equipment is simple, but the bed is quite large and comfortable. The breakfast was sufficient. We were able to park nearby for free.

SloveniaThe room was very small and it was hard to move around even if you don't have so many luggage. The sink is very small and the shower floor was broken. Breakfast was served very early, so if you get up late, everything will be warm. Also the bread was never fresh.
The location is nice. You are close to the waterfalls and hiking trails and next to the beach.

We were welcomed by a very friendly host who spoke very good English. The house and the rooms have a traditional decoration but were quite comfortable and all have a great, even majestic view. Breakfast was good, including bean-coffee and homemade foods such as cake and marmelade. Our stay was very enjoyable.

Belgium-- room sandy and long black hairs all over, cleaning also left windows wide open while we were away and our laptops and so in the room -- noisy -- description to be interpreted differently (for example, water boiler in yr room but shared kitchen and canteen with television not so much for guests but for owners and shared fridge in the hall) -- had to do some work for the office but internet signal too eak too slow
++ comfortable pillow ++ nice warm shower ++ good breakfast, though a bit of variation would do for those who don't eat cheese. fresh fruit ++ host speaks good English, owners kind

EstoniaDoing laundry was slightly overpriced. In addition, no bikes were available at the accommodation despite the information available on Booking.
Comfortable stay with nice breakfast included (even with home-baked pasteis de nata), very clean room and comfortable bed. The location at Faja Grande is absolutely stunning and great for starting many of the hikes over the island, at the same time being closed to some local restaurants! All in all, strongly recommended.

The location is excellent for hiking and there are a few restaurants near by. People in the Faja greet you as you walk by and everyone is nice and helpful. Also: we loved having fresh towels every day and the laundry service was wonderful. I’m sure we’ll be back!!! Thank you Jose!!

ItalyThere was a high level of humidity inside the bedroom. A wind blower is necessary to feel ok, but it does not make a comfortable sleeping. The bathroom was really tiny.
Abundant breakfast with homemade cheese, jam, yogurt, and much more. Super position. If you are a trained walker, there is no need for a car from this position. Good overall value for the price!
