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.).

GermanyIt's not the hosts fault but the streets around the accommodation are very difficult to drive and we had to turn around at a couple of turns because it would only have been possible to drive with a 4x4 (To be fair we arrived with lots of rain and the overall situation with construction was just unfortunate) The accomodation is not suitable for cooking/self catering.
Before we arrived the hosts send us some advice on how to get there and what to pay attention to by sending detailed routes and detours. Even after leaving they were reachable and helped us get around the streets and villages. The view from their terrace is just spectacular and the whole property was very nice. We got offered breakfast which we didn't take but it looked and smelled delicious.

South AfricaThe torrential rain caused problems for us all, including challenges with flooding in the building. And of course the power was down. But the lodge did put the generator on in spells and keep us up to date on happenings.
I was there during an unprecedented flood, which washed all of the access roads and bridges away. The couple who run the lodge were so supportive, accommodating and helpful in allowing us to stay on when we were trapped in Coffee Bay, and in meeting our various needs during the two extra days we stayed. I want to commend them for keeping going despite no power or access to fuel, food and other things. They were able to keep us provisioned with five star meals and service, all while managing their own issues caused by the flood. It made for a very memorable stay! The lodge is also in a great location with wonderful views. We were able to sit on the balcony and observe the clean-up operation happening, as well as the attempts to fix the only access road so we could eventually go home. If you are going to be trapped, this is not the worse circumstance in which to do so!

EgyptThis is a tough one... All we could think about was perhaps the need for a blackout curtain at the one window where the morning sun streams in, but that's more a 'nice-to-have' than an essential item.
What a little gem this place turned out to be! Michelle is the most hospitable hostess and her love and care for the place is obvious. She made a concerted effort to welcome us and even contacted us before our arrival to ask if we'd need supper and to warn us of the treacherous driving conditions. Breakfast (both the health and the regular one) was good and the coffee was delicious, too. We had the lobster and calamari special the first night which was scrumptious and good value for money. The second night, we asked if we could just have a toasted sandwich and Michelle happily obliged. The room was cold (Winter temperature, of course), but we had electric blankets to warm our bed which were a Godsend. The views from our room and the deck outside the dining room were truly special! We watched whales and porpoises splashing across the cove whilst enjoying our morning coffee.

South AfricaThe roads leading up to the lodge are not the best with a lot of roadworks, potholes and livestock. The room itself was quite dirty. The curtain rails were broken and the shower was filty. There is no ceiling in the bathroom and as a consequence the holes in the roof allow for the smell from the kitchen (which is next door) to enter the room making the room smell bad at all times.
Michelle the host was extremely pleasent and friendly. The dinner was great and the view was good.
