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 KingdomA little out of the way so definitely need a car to stay here and easy to get to places. Some of the items in the unit were a little dated and damaged, but was not really an issue for us.
Friendly welcome from the owners and beautiful setting and gardens. Good value for money. Nice private plunge pool to use in such hot weather. Recommend to other travellers.

NetherlandsMake sure you don't press random buttons or switches where you think a light switch might be as it may be a panic button, and the power outlets could be more conveniently situated.
Nestled in a beautiful part of Hour Bay with wonderful mountain views, this apartment is a self-contained gem. With a private garden (and outdoor shower too), the facilities inside and out are wonderful. The hosts are friendly and knowledgeable.

EswatiniWhen I go on holiday the last thing I want to do is clean up my room or wash dishes- I feel the price charged should incorporate this. I had requested to leave a little later as my flight was only at 17.45 and that request was blue ticked. As a traveller I have found previous tenants will accommodate you especially since i had to deal with an 84 year old, i would have even been prepared to pay extra just to keep her comforatbal till like 12 pm etc.
We were not offered breakfast it was self catering

South AfricaThe floor could have been cleaner; because of our late booking the cottage had not been aired, but this may have been different had we given more notice.
The accommodation was spacious and well located. The lounge/kitchen area was large and there were two bedrooms; the main one looked out onto the walled garden. There was a covered outside braai area and a big dining room.. We had safe parking and security was good.
