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 swimming pool near the lodge accommodation could have been better cleaned if there were two extra lengths of hose for the cleaner to reach (and clean) the other end of the pool.
The food at the restaurant was superb, as was the service. The staff were polite, respectful and friendly

SwedenFood could be improved (3/5). Also, when ordering a room with breakfast included it’s somewhat odd that half of the dishes on the menu are not included in the price, you need to pay extra. That gives a stingy feeling. A recommendation, please soften the lights on the restaurant terrace, they are too strong and makes the terrace uncosy at night (the terrace as such is great!).
Location, the views, the wine (especially the rosé), the staff, spacious rooms. Great with an inhouse restaurant for dinner.

United KingdomThe staff were really friendly and very helpful. We were attending a wedding nearby and had several events to get to - shuttle services were booked for us and were all very reliable, and the manager gave us a lift to one evening event which was close by. Nothing was too much trouble, we were delighted and had a thoroughly good time.

South AfricaI changed the channel on the TV and completely lost connection. as much as I tried, I could not get TV to come on again. I did not want to have to call for staff to come to the room to set the TV, so I went to sleep. I could not find the switch to turn off lights so slept with a pillow on my head. Perhaps a sign to show you where the light switch is. Light is not a huge problem for me, hence not calling staff, but some clients may not be able to sleep with all the lights on.
Really so calming, with beautiful views of the mountain. the dam in front of the rooms, makes for a peaceful setting. staff were amazing.

Antigua & BarbudaLeaving. But make sure to take some cases of wine with you.
All the staff go out their way to make you feel right at home. Our suite, the view and breakfast were amazing. Not to mention the wine tasting and the platters to accompany them. The grounds were well looked after with spectacular views all around. There is plenty to do and see in the area. Plenty of hiking too.
