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 KingdomAlthough we had a lovely room - the Luna de Miel suite - which was very large and comfortable, the room could have done with a safety deposit box and a fridge to store cold drinks in the room rather than using the communal fridge / honesty bar in the downstairs kitchen. That should not be a distraction from the overall stay comments - just something to perhaps note for future reference.
Friendly and very helpful staff. Great location - nothing was too much trouble.

PanamaOnly downside is that we could hear the cars in the highway but it’s rather a white noise than an annoyance.
Everything! This was exactly what we were looking for: coziness, privacy, comfort. The swimming pool overlooking the garden, and tennis court is a plus. The horses in the gardens add a charming vibe to the place. Matthew was also very helpful and responsive to our requests. We could see the sunset from our room. We will definitely be back!

South AfricaThere is nothing I didn’t like about the property. It was absolutely amazing!
I was enchanted by the property for several reasons. Firstly, the picturesque setting on a wine farm with rolling vineyards was simply breathtaking. The presence of horses added a touch of rustic charm and serenity to the surroundings. However, what truly captivated me was the magnificent manor house itself. Its architecture and elegant design exuded a timeless beauty that made my stay feel like a fairytale come true.

South AfricaIt was dirty between bath and window. The tea station was inadequate, often there were no cups, there was no milk, no place to put your tea bag. It would be great to have a small dustbin at tea station. Bed side lamp did not work. It is a honeymoon suite, but there were no matches for the candles? Missing in personal touches, that add warmth and welcome. We asked for lemons and lots of water. There were no lemons and we eventually had to get water bottles from other rooms, as they were sometimes not provided at all.
Breakfast was very good and always served on time.
