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 AfricaWhen I got there, the owner wasn't there but an elderly couple that was running the place and I had to explain who I was and when I booked and had to show them my booking. They then called the owner and I had to confirm over the phone who I was. After all that, I was told that they had to quickly clean the unit I booked and I had to wait for almost an hour for that. When I finally got inside, the unit had none of the kitchen amenities as the site, they only had a kettle, empty cupboards, a few glasses and a very dirty and smelly small dishcloth. ,no spoons, plates stove, microwave... Nothing. I then told them about this and they called the owner who then told me that it's a backpackers suite and it dies not come with any of those amenities. I thrn told him that my booking had those ame3and he jus told me that there was nothing he could do, I was welcome to find another place but I wouldn't get a refund as per the site's rules. I then asked the eldarly ciuple if they could atl organize jus a microwave coz we had raw stuff thatt needed cooking or heating. They then got us a microwave. The unit also had no TV and the owner said he had taken it for repairs and could only get it for us on the next day as the shop was closed. When I called him the next day, he ignored all my calls and never got back to me. I had to ask one of the neighbors to borrow us 2 plates. The place was not clean enough but I could not lose my money but this has been the worst experience ever and the owner being so not accommodating and rude is the worst. Never ever going back there. The bottom of our door also had a huge opening and wind was coming in,thank God that the weather was not cold.
The fact that the elderly couple atleast tried to get us the microwave
