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.).

AustraliaThe food was amazing. House was in a great location and the grounds were large and well maintained. Our room was of a high standard with large comfortable bed area and separate lounge. Bathroom facilities were spacious. The house had a communal lounge room, large dining room, breakfast room and large grounds including seating and pool.

United StatesThe most significant impact was the load shedding that the whole country is experiencing right now. While the property had a generator and the power returned fairly quickly, it was still a nuisance and caused devices to not be able to charge or interruptions viewing activities on TV.
The staff was accommodating and provided for all of our needs. The pool was having some extensive work done during our visit so it was not able to be used. The property experienced some significant impacts from the load-shedding that happens throughout the country and it caused significant disruptions to our stay. The staff was very accommodating and tried to work around the issues. The room was beautiful and comfortable to stay in.

Staff were exceptional - nothing was too much trouble! Food was wonderful. Setting was beautiful. Pool wasn’t in use because it was end of season and due to be renovated but we still sat on the comfy loungers with towels provided. Tea and coffee provided in the room. Fridge too.

ItalyThe lack of curtains and the sole presence of curtains causes the sunlight to wake you up really early in the morning. Also, it gets a bit noisy outside due to few animals; it is completely understandable and it is manageable, but are if you are quite sensitive to noises and lights you need to think about it.
Great location, amazing place full in the gardens, really quiet and private. My room in front of the pool was amazing, really spacious and cozy. The bed was really comfortable and large, the shower is huge and room's cleaning was perfect.

MexicoThe bed was a bit too soft in my room (the suite 1) but that's just because I like firmer mattresses.
Beautiful property with an old-charm feel. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and the rooms are all different and well appointed. The service was great, my friends and I felt like we were in an intimate country house, but the property is just 10 min away from Sandton business district. I would love to stay here again!
