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 AfricaSome of the guests did not have respect for other guests, as their noise levels were unacceptable. I addressed it with the guests and also informed my host! Also, the WiFi reception was bad which impacted on my ability to do my reporting!
The location and the staff were very good, and the cost of the accommodation was good for my budget!

South AfricaWater from shower was cold and it was raining to bath in freezing water. Bathroom door handle was lose and handle was coming off everytime we use toilet. No soap provided for bath purposes We were refused to utilize lounge which is part of the advert and package with no good reason. Staff was told to make excuse to say there is no key for lounge where as I viewed area few minutes ago and I was told it's not open for visitors Television was faulty, it made annoying sound with blurry pictures. Complaint was lodged and tissue had to be pushed in to fix it, meaning you knew that fault Lastly reception is not visible, I had to make calls in order to be assisted and be asked irrelevant questions. Wifi password is not provided or left in the room, I had to ask for it and staff had to put it in for me.

South AfricaWe were inconvenienced, made reservations successfully and it was done on time but when we got to the hotel we were told that it was fully booked.I am not happy with the first apartment that I was given because it was not even close to what I paid for. I demand a refund, I should be discounted since I was given a smaller room and it was not up to my standard. Very bad first impression, if I don't get a refund I am not going to recommend your hotel to any of my family and friends, in fact I will go viral and post on all my social media accounts.
The second room was spacious, comfortable and clean.

South AfricaWe arrived after traveling almost 1000kms only to be told our rooms are not available and that they are booked out. However, they arranged alternative accommodation for us which was more expensive. They refused to cover the cost difference and so we ended up paying more than what we booked. I cannot review the facilities as I did not get to see them.
