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.).

BulgariaThere was no soap in the room when we arrived, but other than that all the other amenities were in place.
The location is splendid - right at the start of the main street in Carmel. It is a 15 min walk to the beach, going through wonderful cafes, shops, and galleries on the way. There are also weekly events, such as a free wine tasting we happened to arrive just in time for.

United StatesWe absolutely loved our stay at Le Petit Pali. It was definitely worth the money we spent. Relaxing, welcoming, and comfortable. Our favorite part, which we were pleasantly surprised by, was the fantastic continental breakfast. It was simple, but the QUALITY was exceeded expectations. Fresh butter, local pastries, etc. I would come back just for the cute breakfast- lol!

SwitzerlandRoom was quite small, and limited parking isn't enough for all guests for park their car. We had to park on the street some of the time. For the price, I'd would have expected a bit more space in the room.
Location and breakfast were awesome. Staff were also super helpful and friendly. Room was very cosy, although a little small.

United StatesThat my room was not ready when I checked in at 4PM. I wait for 30 minutes and the person at the front desk told me he would bring me the keys when my room is ready and when I noticed that the housekeepers left the room I was to occupy he was holding my key sitting at the desk. I was a bit annoyed as I was waiting in my sister's room the entire time.
Beautiful well appointed rooms. Very spacious and comfortable.

United StatesSmall rooms, motel feel vs resort
Matched the description exactly. It's a redone motel made into an upscale lodging, though still a motel style - small rooms overlooking parking lot, but is fine for an overnight stay. Rooms were nicely done and refurbished. Location was great. Enjoyed the nice touches of sparkling wine upon arrival, water bottle and chocolate in the room, cookies delivered in the evening and continental breakfast with mimosas in the morning. This really made / differentiated the stay to another motel type lodging.

United StatesThe walls of the property are very thin. You can hear every sound in the rooms adjacent to you. Because it is a motel style, people walk by your window to get to the stairs. So there is very little privacy if you want to keep your blinds even a little bit open. If you keep them closed, the room is very dark even with all the lights on. Water pressure in shower is on the light side.
Great location, good service. Breakfast and evening cookies were a nice treat. Complimentary water given each day. Free parking was also appreciated.

Saudi ArabiaFirst night we had rooms downstairs near the stairs, and were kept up late at night and again woken at 5 am by noisy neighbors. The floors/ceiling are super thin and we heard every step. We cha ged rooms upstairs and away from the stairs which solved this issue. The rooms have very little storage for luggage. Showers in all four rooms were a more drizzle.
Cozy, beautiful rooms in perfect location. Breakfast had limited choice, but was of good quality.
