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.).

South AfricaOur hostess accommodated our special request for an earlier-than-usual book-in without hesitation. She kept in touch with us while we were travelling to Bee's Knees. She welcomed us at the gate and even offered us some of their pomegranate harvests.

IrelandThere is nothing not to like. This place is amazing.
We have been travelling for 10 months and this is one of the nicest places we have stayed in! As soon as we arrived, we decided to extend our stay by another night because we loved it so much. The apartment is huge and has everything we needed and more! It’s a joy to spend the day out hiking and knowing you have a place as cozy as this to return to. Lakin is absolutely lovely and gave us lots of tips for hikes and food, all of which proved to be amazing! The animals were another bonus. We were especially privileged to get a visit from the cat one morning. We will definitely stay here again when back in Drakensberg!

South AfricaBecause there were no restaurants open in or near Winterton, we had to get some take-a-ways, which is no problem. BUT, because loadshedding was between 07.00pm and 09.30pm, and with the plugs for the microwave not being active during loadshedding, we could only warm our take-a-way food after 09.30pm. Therefore forced to have a pretty late supper.
Room and stay was great.

BelgiumCooking dinner for the 5 of us was a bit of a challenge for me, as I had expected a full stove and oven, instead there was an appliance that had two cooking plates and a little oven . But it all worked out and we had a very pleasant stay!
Very nicely decorated, even electric blankets for cold nights! Nice location with a distant view on the mountains. The hosts were very friendly, even helped us with a flat tire….
