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 AfricaIt was next to a commune of sorts, and one morning I woke up to very loud music playing next door. Obviously nothing the property can do about that.
Lovely staff, breakfast and great location! Easy to walk to the beach and nice restaurants, and close to the highway :) Would definitely pick it again!

South Africa1. The shower leaked onto the bathroom floor quite badly, leaving the bath mat soaking wet. 2. The furniture (and bathroom) is really dated, and can use a good modernizing.
Breakfast was really good, and the staff very helpful and pleasant. Location is excellent.

TaiwanThe only problem I met is that the door. You need some special skill to open it after key card tap in the card reader. It takes me 2-3 days to learn.
More than expected!! The staff is warming and friendly. The location is also perfect, just next to the Main Street and beaches. Restaurants are nearby. I also find good laundry shop in the neighbor region. High cost-performance ratio.

Breakfast could have more than just stork margarine and mixed fruit jam for toast. Perhaps some cheese and cold meats like proper continental breakfast

United KingdomI have already written this part out... But it got lost or scrambled, and I don't have the doner type......the pillows for both of us were too soft. And I didn't fancy using the cushion as my main pillow. Probably could have a asked them for a replacement but didn't.

Great location, spacious room, from the very beginning we were provided with a mosquito spray which came in handy, long breakfast hours, friendly lady at the reception, no noise outside

NetherlandsThe sofa bad is not meant for tall people. It was not comfortable to sleep there. Also the sofa bed was skewed at the food end since the end had no support from underneath.
Staff were really kind. Big room with nice balcony. The room was also clean and lot of storage.

South AfricaToo many lights on — one right outside our window. Noisy at weekend with in cars racing on street blaring booming music - but our first evening was quiet — luck of the draw, I guess.
The friendly manager Ntzika, was extremely helpful and accommodating. It was a heatwave in CT, but the downstairs room was quite cool - aided by a ceiling fan. Bed certainly big enough for two. Unexpected breakfast was a nice touch. Setting is wonderful — less than a block from Sea Point promenade.
