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.).

ItalyThe location is a little gem in the city. You feel like you're in the English countryside. Amazing location next to super cute shops, parks, and transport (all in walking distance) and the staff makes you feel like you're at home. A delightful breakfast that you can enjoy and sip your coffee in the garden.

United StatesI wake early and sometimes I'm looking for coffee and that doesn't usually get made until about 7:30 AM. Not a big deal, but just saying, I would like to think that many travelers to San Fran are from cities and states further east that San Fran, so they may be on earlier time zones. I also wish I knew there wasn't an ATM nearby. I didn't bring cash and I had to leave early so I horribly didn't leave any tip for the staff.
The whole place was very cute. A large house that felt like a home with roommates that you don't know and don't want to tick off. So, for the most part, everyone is respectful and nice. The staff are very nice and accommodating. You get the personal care from them not having a hotel with 5,000 plus people.

United StatesThis is a lovely property, with an expansive and beautiful courtyard. Our room was large and very comfortable, with a great bed. All the staff were wonderful, and we had a great time talking with the managers, Carol and Brian. The continental breakfast had many choices, including hard-boiled eggs, yogurt and delicious bakery. A great place to stay!

It was an exquisite wonderful experience. The room was excellent and bed was heaven! And the hotel was located right were we wanted to be. We were there for only one night, but I would diffidently like to stay there longer.

GermanyThe rooms to the street are a bit noisy during the day till evening because of the muni train that passes directly along the guesthouse but in the the night it was fine.
A very peaceful, beautiful and very kind place. It felt like homecoming and it is much cosy. The staff is so friendly, helpful and kind. We loved it to stayed there. The Parker guesthouse was also so kind to store our luggage while we were off for the weekend. As we came back it was already brought to on our room.
