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.).

Property was well located, family were really friendly very helpful, Breakfast was a mini feast and tasty. Very clean. Location meant you could get up in the morning and pretty much have the area to yourself. Great for photos. The upstairs seating area had fantastic views, lovely colours as the sun went down.

United KingdomThese are definitely not complaints, but just personal to me. The bed was a bit hard and I did struggle a bit with the bath - but I wouldn't have had it any other way as it made my stay even more authentic!
Definitely the highlight of the holiday to stay in this beautiful house. The location was amazing inside the walls. The terrace was beautiful and makes this place extra special. The breakfast was served to you on the terrace and it was like a banquet, with the amazing view and amazing breakfast we were definitely not in a rush to get an early start on the sites each morning. It was so convenient to wander back for a cuppa on the terrace during the day and people watch! The family are very friendly and the daughter speaks good English. If you want the whole package of having amazing welcome, amazing food, amazing view - this ticks all the boxes.

The Polvonnazir Guest House is in a very convenient location inside the old city walls. It is small and homey— literally homey, since the family who runs it also lived there. They are so warm and kind that it is like visiting your cousins! The rooms are comfortable and the breakfast excellent with a fabulous view while you eat.

UzbekistanWhile our stay was overwhelmingly positive, I would suggest that the owners consider some improvements to the shower room for added comfort. On the first floor, where our room was situated, there was occasional noise from the bustling tourist street outside. However, it's important to note that this is inherent to the location and doesn't warrant significant complaint. Despite these minor considerations, the genuine warmth of the reception and the exceptional treatment we received overshadow any drawbacks. The hospitality extended by the owners made us feel not just like guests but cherished friends. Our heartfelt thanks to the owners for creating an environment that truly feels like a home away from home!
Nestled in the heart of the historic town of Khiva, this guesthouse offers more than just a place to stay – it provides an immersive journey back in time. Stepping onto the balcony, we were instantly transported to the charm of the last century, with a picturesque view that captured the essence of the old town. The hostess, embodying the warmth of a true Uzbek welcome, made our stay exceptional. It felt like being part of a close-knit family. Breakfast was a delightful feast featuring an array of treats – from fresh fruits and sweets to pastries, eggs, and pancakes. The terrace, where complimentary tea and coffee flowed, became our favorite spot to soak in the mesmerizing panorama of the ancient city. For anyone contemplating a visit to Khiva, this charming little hotel is the perfect choice. Impeccably clean, comfortable beds, and an overall ambiance that won our hearts – our experience here was nothing short of delightful.

The location and view were stunning. The family who hosted us was very friendly and helped us out throughout our stay. They were very accommodating… The breakfast was absolutely amazing! Also I do recommend doing all the shopping with the family store locating just in front of the guest house. I went to many different shopping stores but none could beat their prices… they do accommodate their guests !

United KingdomBOOK THIS AMAZING GUEST HOUSE! The balcony provided the best view I've ever had in my life! Loved sitting there over breakfast as well as later in the evening admiring the beauty of Khiva. Felt like I'd gone back in time. Breakfast was out of this world - it was my best breakfast for the whole trip and was HUGE! Many fruits, cakes, fried eggs, traditional savoury pastry, all the condiments and so much more. The lady who runs it has a little souvenir stall just outside the front door and is so incredibly sweet and kind. I would love for all my of my friends and family to come and stay here. It is extremely good value for money too. I have included photos of breakfast on the balcony, as well as the view from the balcony.
