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 do not like a shower or bath in the bedroom. The other rooms had separate bathrooms.
Breakfast was very good, with orders for freshly cooked eggs, bacon etc taken. Gorgeous view over the sea and coastline. Well placed for a stroll along the seashore. Easy drive to restaurants in town.

South AfricaThe ONLY negative points I have for a 5 night stay are: 1. No aircon - the room is not hot and well ventilated, but I would like that little crisp cold air to sleep better. 2. Washing can be done in the apartment, but what to do with it then? The staff was very helpful for hanging it out, but then it needed ironing, we used our steamer but no board. 3. There is no DSTV for sports and news, especially for longer stays and over weekends. This is not high on my list though. 4. Then the railing on the balcony wall is too high and totally cuts the view.
The view was the best ever. The room was spacious and well laid out. The private breakfast corner was amazing and made us feel special, welcome and cared for. I am going back in October, and I will stay in the same room to see the wales. With this view, it WILL be AMAZING. It is a MUST. Thanks to the staff, we are well cared for and well rested.

United KingdomWe expected to have a wonderful sea view but seeing as we were on the lower floor this was a bit compromised although there is a common lounge/dining area where one can view them.
The proximity to the whales (mid Oct) was incredible, they come right up to the rocks in full view of the upper floors of the property. Rooms and bathrooms were spacious and well decorated. Breakfast was very well cooked especially liked the muesli, fruit yoghurt combination.
