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 StatesWhile there are two bathrooms, one feels like the kids bathroom and the other felt more comfortable to me. I wanted to wait for the main bathroom, simply because I felt it was more inviting to me, but I felt a little pressured to use the other one when asked if it was open, which it was.
Tho and her family are quite accustomed to having homestay guests and as a result made us feel quite at home. She was there to greet us when we arrived and stepped us through setting up the door entry and answered our questions. The beds were comfortable too!

United StatesWhen I rented this room I did not realize what a "homestay" is. I did not realize I was renting a bedroom in someone's private home and would be sharing a living space, kitchen, and bathrooms with the owners of the home as well as other guests. I would liken this situation to that of a hostel rather than a hotel room or guest cottage. Having said that, I don't think you could ask for a nicer communal living situation.
Tho and Rowan are really wonderful and welcoming people! Generous, helpful, and interesting to talk to, they work hard to provide a good experience for their guests. You immediately feel like you are part of the family. They were very available to answer questions about the area and even loaned my son a pair of shorts out of their own closet.

United StatesDuring booking, I thought I would have my own bathroom but I did not. It turned out OK because they had 2 bathrooms and I never had to wait to use it.
I was very pleased with this property. The host was very accommodating and helpful with suggestions for dining and attractions. My privacy was respected and we only interacted when I initiated it. There were 2 teenage boys but they were very well behaved and one of them is exceptional on the piano. The location was ideal. Very close to Newport Beach, Huntington Beach and the Balboa Peninsula. The room was very comfy and I had 2 beds to choose from. One was firm and the other was medium, I chose the firm bed. Wifi was great. They have a nice backyard for sunning and relaxation with a picnic table. I would definitely stay here again!

United StatesThe person in charge of the house did not tell us at the time of arrival that my wife and I will have to share the huse with a bunch of people. We have no privacy, the house was hot as well as our room, no A/C so we did not sleep in the house. I end up spending $180.00 for a hotel room so we can sleep in peace.
Nice house but way to many people inside the property
