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.).

United KingdomSpa facilities needed to be booked in advance and didn’t have very long opening hours so unfortunately we weren’t able to use it during our 2 night stay. We were told about booking a spa slot at check in so it was down to us not booking far enough in advance.
Lovely hotel, great complementary event on arrival day - we took part in a great wine tasting. Lovely personal touches.

United KingdomNot much, it could only improve by a daytime bar near the pool so one could have a morning coffee sitting on the sunbeds..I think they will offer this in high season. Restaurant menu would be limited for a vegetarian.
A wonderful quiet retreat set in beautiful countryside, hectares of amazing wild flowers and the smell of eucalyptus. The hotel facilities were so good, the gym,pool,sauna, rooms and restaurant were perfect.

NetherlandsWe stayed on the 1st floor room of the cubicle we were in and could hear neighbours beneath us speak meaning the isolation is not great, but nothing really disturbing. We would advice to have some kind of blinding for the window in the bathroom that is not privacy proof when walking out of the shower.
Very spacious setup of hotel and its facilities. Big pool are and bar, setting in nature and the views and tranquility. Staff were super helpful, friendly and authentic in their way of sevicing. Very nice rooms with spacious bathroom and bacony. Extensive breakfast with multitude of nice options.

GermanyOn the first day the spa was closed - because we were the only guest in the entire hotel. So I am pretty sure they could not be bothered to keep it open for 2 people only. Very disappointing, when you only have 3 days. Also no possibility to borrow a bike for couple of hours. Being alone in the entire hotel we still had an option to either rent it for a half a day or a full day only. I understand this policy in summer but in February when you are alone there, hmmm. Spa is small and has 4 beds only but during my last day 9 people were in there, so was chaotic. Screaming kid in the spa - adult only would be appropriate. Steam room was closed the shoe time. Breakfast is dominated by gluten.
Very natural design, high quality furniture and natural materials everywhere. Very enjoying for the esthetic eye. Great location middle in the nature, nice hiking roots to the ocean. The arrival is not dramatic at all if you take the right root. Spacious and good equipped gym, big parking lots. Great restaurants in the are of 15-20m drive. Spa area is also pretty and is heaven as long as you are alone there. Great cappuccino at breakfast. Very good wifi everywhere. Very warm reception with champagne.

LithuaniaA meticulously designed small luxury hotel, nestled in a splendid retreat setting. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Kim at reception, and Joao ensured our drinks experience was exceptional. The hotel, curated with design-led furniture and artworks, impressed us. We were pleasantly surprised with a welcome wine and delightful chocolates each evening. The intimate boutique spa added to the overall allure. Our experience was truly enjoyable, and we look forward to returning. Gratitude to the entire hotel team for their attentive care. P.s breakfast is incredible!

A stunning place, full merging with nature. We spent an incredible weekend! Throughout our stay we felt care of the staff. Not only a crib was prepared for our baby, but also bathroom essentials. It was convenient to move everywhere with a stroller. Spacious and comfortable room. Very stylish interior of the entire hotel. There are places to walk around in the surrounding area. Delicious food in the restaurant.
