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.).

United KingdomThe tranquillity was broken by ongoing renovations during my stay. I feel this should be done during winter when there are no guests. There were dogs jumping and slobbering over me, chewing my car tyres and paintwork and following me everywhere, even though the terms and conditions state no pets allowed. The rooms are lined up like dormitories with little privacy. The furnishings and amenities are functional but uninspiring. There is plenty of space for a kitchenette to store items. It doesn't create a good impression having a fridge and microwave at one end of the room and a desk at the other end with a few pieces of cheap cutlery in a plastic bowl. Finally the price is too high for what is on offer. I have stayed in much more luxurious and charming properties for far less.

South AfricaThe host and the care taker were very unprofessional and unethical.We had an accident where we were not aware that visitors are not allowed after 20:00 and our friend's came to see us very quietly,the caretaker send me a msg saying they not allowed after 20:00 and I replied and said we didn't know but they will leave within an hour..the host had to budge in our room uninvited and told our visitors to leave and they escorted them out..mind you we not even making a single noise, we were very quiet and they never told us that they not allowed after 20:00 meanwhile the rules of the properly said quite hours start from 22:00..We were very disappointed by such reaction.
The place is beautiful and very clean.

South AfricaThere were no side lamps and bedside carpets. The view from the house is not as impressive and close like on the website. It was a mission to access the beach from the house.
The room is a nice big size. The bathroom is nice and the water temperature excellent. I like that the rooms have a bar fridge and microwave and iron. The staff members are very friendly.

South AfricaThe Nagasaki ruins beneath the swimming pool detracted from the beautiful, scenic sea view. We would have liked a small kitchenette area with a wash-up sink, though. The microwave oven needs a shelf or countertop, as opposed to being precariously balanced atop the fridge.
The view was amazing, and David was really, really accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The swing bench by the pool is lovely, and the perfect place for a couple to enjoy sundowners. And how could we forget about Coco? She is such an amazing doggie - she stole our hearts!!!! All in all, we felt secure and really at home here!
