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.).

Lynette
South AfricaNot really a complaint but something to consider. On arrival in the unit, we were quite late. Most hotels / accommodation provide bottled water which was missing in the unit. However, on checking out, we were gifted two small bottles of water for our journey. Whilst appreciated, suggest maybe rather giving the water on arrival - if guests arrive later than planned, they do not have to run around looking for water.
Everything was on point. Loved the view. The unit was well appointed = had more than we needed for a short stay. For a long stay, this would be a home away from home. We will return when visiting the South Coast again.

South AfricaThe rooms were not clean, the was a lot of noise and people were throwing food into the pool. The generator wasn't working and we weren't informed so we arrived to no electricity and were staying on the 4th floor. The next day the generator was still not working and we were not informed. They did maintenence for cockroaches while we were there so they told us that the cockroaches would come out... the kids playground had few broken parts and the trampoline was out of order.
The location to the beach was good, the pool was warm and we really enjoyed that

South AfricaI waited a long time for the room to get clean. Only was ready after 15:20 Not one towel was put in our apartment. I called house keeping. They said they will bring it. I waited an hour then called again (no answer) then again(no answer) . I had to go down to reception to ask. After 20mins a lady came to tell me that there's no towels available, the towels are still getting dried. I told her it's unprofessional as I just checked in and waited 1.5 hours for a towel. She then asks me if I want to bath now, that annoyed the helll out of me. I still waited 10 more mins for a towel. She said she had to make a plan like she did me a favor. Very disappointing. Was my husband's birthday, we went to the beach, we shouldn't have to wait so long to have a bath. Housekeeping is very poor, we waited for the room and towels. They ruined our mood
I booked the 3 bedroom apartment. Had a nice view of the beach. Cute bar area. Very spacious. Good size kitchen
