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 AfricaWe arrived 10 minutes after the earliest check-in time. The carpet was dirty, the vanity desk and wall mirror were delapidated and dangerously loose, there was no toilet paper nor towels nor soap nor shamoo, etc. There were also no bulb in one of the lamps, and one of the bedside table glass-tops was shattered. As a journalist I insisted on speaking to the owner. She was very disappointed to hear about my complaints, adding that she constantly remind her staff that they shoud keep the rooms in good condition. My wife and I refused to settle in and did not stay. We had to move to another hotel in the area. I insist on a full refund. This is the second utterly bad experience after booking though Booking.com - The previous occasion was about two years ago in Blaawberg, Cape Town, when there was no room available after booking and pre-paying the full amount.
The staff were friendly and tried to offer alternatives upon seeing and realising our legitimate reasons for not wanting to stay at the hotel. Please refer toour complaints below.

LesothoThere was no speed point to process payment, had to go out to withdraw cash. The list they could have done was to deduct from my card as I had provided it in my booking. The music was loud and when we arrived there were no towels in the room, only arrived later on. The only one mat provided in the bathroom was dirty. The security at the gate does not speak other languages except for Zulu, not even English so it was hard to communicate.

South AfricaAlmost everything! Doors were not locking so we felt unsafe. The stuff is clueless about everything and when you need them they are nowhere to be found. Their pillow cases were dirty. We had to ask for a towel change because not Only were the towels torn out but they were dirty too
Their garden is beautiful.

South AfricaHad to reverse on a busy road to enter at the correct gate numbered 59 and not 61 as per address on website. Arrived to no receptionist, was assisted by cleaner who quickly went and prepared a room whilst I waited at reception. Room ceiling very dirty with hole as one down light was removed and not replaced. The door to the balcony could not lock which made me feel very unsafe. I requested the helper to vacuum the carpet as it was noticeably dirty.
