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.).

SingaporeWe had a great stay - the room was self-contained and private. I really appreciated the well-furnished cooking area and the lovely selection of local snacks and drinks. The rest of the room was also no exception, and we felt really well taken care of by Anthea, our host.

United KingdomIt would be useful to have more lighting during the frequent load shedding periods.
The accommodation is in a quiet street in a convenient location, within walking distance from many of the town’s restaurants and shops. It is very comfortable and has a lovely covered terrace overlooking the pretty garden, though it was too cold and wet when we were there for us to sit outside. Anthea gave us a warm welcome and had arranged many nice touches like a glass of sherry for us.

South AfricaThe only thing we didn't like, was the bed which made a noise if you moved around too much.
Every detail - from the bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and the cosy outside area. The added part which was really great, the stocked fridge of refreshments.

This is the most amazing place to stay ! Anthea, the owner is very nice and helpful. She gave me lots of recommandations about places to visit and things to do. And the place itself is just great. It is very nicely furnished and very well equiped with a real sense for small details that makes the difference. There is also a large private patio to relax and I loved the cats on the property.

This is a magical little hide away on the edge of town. Really well put together by a thoughtful host, there is everything you could need and a whole lot more....I travel a lot and don't think I have ever seen more attention to comfy details and guests needs.....I wont tell you everything, just book and go experience for yourself!! The excellent value for money is also worth mentioning.

South AfricaThis is a little gem hidden away in the beautiful town of Darling.
What is there not to like! This is a beautiful newly renovated place that caters to your every need. Outside you will find a lovely sitting area to enjoy the beauty of the garden. Inside the room is cozy and offers a comfortable bed, living area and kitchen. A electric fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere and the TV has Netflix on offer to keep you busy when you are done exploring Darling. What made our stay are all the beautiful feline friends that walk around. We love cats and after being gone a week from our babies it was nice to be surrounded by some of them sharing the love. The place looks like the images!
