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 StatesNot much.
I am 80 so I was needing a place to sleep, which met my required assets. I don't know about romantic...sorry! And my host was knowledgeable and helpful ... what more could I ask except to say thank you.

United StatesThe place was quite small, which was expected. Cleanliness could have been better. The drawers in the dresser and bedside stands had obviously not been cleaned, and the screens were dirty.
Refrigerator and microwave were useful. Parking was convenient. The host was friendly. The bed was fairly comfortable.

United StatesNot really a dislike, but some small blinds in the windows overlooking the driveway would be a fantastic addition. That’s it. everything else was great.
We loved the location, and the bed was comfortable. while it’s a ways away from the main shopping areas, we didn’t want to be in the middle of the busiest areas so this was great. It felt like somewhere that someone could actually live, vs a hotel room. the outdoor shower was also really nice, and we loved the resident cats on the property. There’s no television, which was really welcome and helped us to unplug and relax.

United StatesThe location is relaxing and away from crowds, but you need to have a car or access to a ride. I had expected to stay with family visiting in Kona, but there was a last minute mix-up and they didn't have the extra room. But they had a car and we went together each day.
The owner, Farsheed, is super nice and helpful. A gracious host. The setting was comfortable and relaxing. I'm used to hotels, so the kitchen facilities in the bungalow were a surprising bonus.

United StatesNo privacy, rude, quarrelsome host, dirty room, old, discolored towel, creaky bed, no air conditioner, no curtains, outdoor shower, even commode has an outside window with no curtains but a stained glass lower half, there was a car right outside the bedroom window which has no curtains. EXTREMELY UNSAFE, I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL POLICE BACK HOME WITH DETAILS TELLING THEM I'LL CONFIRM IF I GET OUT SAFE. BOOKING.COM WAS ZERO HELP. IT LISTED PRIVATE BATHROOM, HOW IS AN OUTSIDE WINDOW WITH HALF A TRANSPARENT WINDOW PRIVATE?? HOST SAID THERE WERE NO ROOMS WITH CURTAINS OR PRIVACY, BUT IT SEEMS FROM THE OUTSIDE THAT THE ROOM NEXT DOOR DOES HAVE CURTAINS AND IS PROBABLY EMPTY.

United StatesFor what it is, this place shouldn’t be renting for more than about $70 a night. It most definitely isn’t worth the outrageous $165 I paid. This is basically someone’s extra property carved up into small “bungalows.”The grounds are funky and messy with lots of junk lying around and a completely neglected garden. There is no outside space to sit and, although there is a “barbecue area,” it’s just where a section of yard and garage junk has been pushed to one side. (Oh, and you have to ask for special permission to use it.) The place is very sparsely equipped and furnished, and the owner is stingy with towels (1 bath towel, one face towel—no washcloths, no kitchen towels). A roll of paper towels would have been nice, and so would a beach towel or mat. There was no soap in the shower or sinks. The windows were dirty. Light fixtures in the bathroom were broken and the front door knob was barely attached and could be broken off by a well-nourished five-year-old. No view and no charm whatsoever. WiFi really spotty. No smoke alarm (disconnected and lying on counter) or fire extinguisher. The only fan (a ceiling unit) rattled noisily. I had to ask THREE times for check-in information.

United StatesI would have preferred twin beds. I had to buy a cot so that each of us could sleep in our own space ( but I knew this before arrival). This was not the owners issue. However it would have been better if the owner had an extra cot available. Thats only a 50 dollar purchase and is one that would help guests ( say with children or an older person who does not ( like me) like to share a double bed). There was a issue: This owner should better understand people who are traveling.
This BNB fit the bill I needed. It was in the location I needed. The bed was good.
