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.).

AustraliaPossibly one of the nicest guesthouses we have stayed in. Attention to detail was exceptional: cleanliness, comfort, linen, refreshments. Parking was safe and convenient and the views were stunning. Attentive host, Vera, made us feel so welcome. Highly recommended.

United KingdomThis property is a little 'Gem'! So many thoughtful extras that we were not expecting, from a choice of instant and pot coffee, rusks, milk, chocolates on the bed and the list goes on! All definitely added to the enjoyment of our stay! We sat on the balcony enjoying the birdlife & mountain views, and were able to receive strong wifi signal everywhere. Unfortunately we only stayed 1 night as a longer stay would have been most comfortable. To our surprise, on departure, our vehicle had been beautifully washed.... Many thanks Mountainview you defintely deserve a 10* rating!

South AfricaPerhaps the sliding door to the bathroom needs to be greased as it’s very squeaky and noisy, disturbing whoever may be sleeping when opening and closing it.
I liked the overall cleanliness, friendliness of the hosts, aesthetic beauty of the property and the large shower space.

South AfricaThe fact that my friend snored like that annoying neighbor's generator during loadshedding, but that has nothing to do with the accommodation. Next time I'll book here and make him stay somewhere else. I don't have anything negative to say about this location. They were perfect.
The facilities were clean and neat. The Decor was relaxing and inviting. The beds were very comfortable. We had a lovely night's sleep and woke up refreshed the next morning. The staff were very helpful. Especially when I left my wedding ring behind. They were very quick to find it and send it to me. We will definitely be booking here again.
