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 StatesThe location was cool. It was nestled in a local neighborhood so it was very quiet. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. I only needed the place for a few hours to have a comfortable place to rest before my middle of the night flight and it served its purpose. The only thing that I really didn't like which they actually didn't have much control over was that they were experiencing power load sharing and for two hours the property didn't have any power. This forced me to stay out longer than I wanted to so that I could have access to electricity. Again, it wasn't their fault, but they could have notified me of this before my arrival to the property.

South AfricaThe street facing unit was a bit noisy due to its proximity to the street, but not the establishment's fault if passersby made a noise.
Very friendly staff, that went out of their way to make the stay comfortable. They even brought more of the breakfast cereal I liked, to add to the nice selection they already had available.

I liked everything about Margaret's place. The place exceeded my expectations. The swimming pool view from our rooms was a spectacle 😍😍😍😍👌. The kitchen had all necessary utensils and cereal packs, which was a big lovely surprise😍😍😍. Valden was a great host and paid attention to every details. She told us about the loadshedding schedule. She came to see about us on Sunday before we checked out. Whenever I'm in Joburg, I'll make Margaret's place my home. Thank you for your Hospitality.

Everything was just amazing, it was so comfortable we felt at home. We were so tired from going out to get some food and guess what. Cereal was provided for us we had no reason to go out. I'm glad I found a home away from home. I will definitely come back again and recommend the place to friends and colleagues.
