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 StatesWe had a private room with shared bath. I didn’t realize the shared bath would be with a dorm style room. It wasn’t a problem but I’m not sure I would have stayed here had I known. The breakfast was small enough that it should be included in price of private room.
Very clean with nice facilities. Owner host is very nice. Great location. Quiet for a tired pilgrim. Relaxing garden area.

We had an one night stop on our Camino. It was a good place to stay, including a swimming pool. The kitchen is well equipped with what you need in order to prepare food.

United KingdomNothing, it was the perfect stay for day two of my Camino!
The property was tidy, well sized and perfect for pilgrims. There was a lounge to socialise, plenty of space outdoors, a pool and the rooms had everything you’d need. The bed was comfortable with an easy to reach plug socket. The host, Sandra, was amazing and so so welcoming. After a few days of rain she was kind enough to tumble dry all our socks and clothes for us! The dog, Spot, is well deserving of his fame and was a sweetheart.

South KoreaIt’s a gem in a peaceful town Fão. Room itself is as typical dormitory in any guest house. (In general and positive meaning) But the other facilities are amazing. Kitchen is very well equipped with enough basic ingredients (usually from pilgrims’ leftovers, like pasta or oils) Laundry is available either with the machine or handwash. Clothesline is under the sun, if you do it fast, your laundry will be dry faster. Garden with pool is really impressive, I could give a cooldown for my feet, which has serious pain in both sides. Very friendly and supportive host and her doggy ‘Spot’ will welcome you whem you check-in. Don’t miss a chance to stay here :)

Wow! A not to be missed experience after a long days hike. The pool & garden are certainly a plus for this type of accommodation by far the best sleep. Sandra the host/ owner was most welcoming. Accommodation has been sensitively renovated for the purpose of meeting pilgrims needs. Sandra gave us great recommendations for restaurants nearby went to a local tapas bar had superb meal for 4 ppl under €55 drinks included. Simply sensational & memorable evening. Loved Spot the dog too!
