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.).

IsraelThe bathroom floor is a bit cold (stone) and the shower is not closed with glass or curtain, so water gets everywhere. It would also be nice to get more selection of breads at breakfast and more vegetarian dishes for dinner. Slippers in the room would also be a good addition. These are all minor, though.
The view at the hotel is amazing. The hot tubs are nice and location is quite convenient for the area (for such an isolated hotel, but drive to attractions was totally fine). The staff was very nice and accommodating and the room was beautifully made up for our honeymoon with flowers and a gift. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and very good food for breakfast and dinner. We would definitely recommend, staying there was one of the most special experiences. The electric sheets in the room are perfect for cold weather.

United KingdomRoad onto property. It was quite chilly in the main rooms.
Great place to stay, but be aware that the road in is 8km of very rough, pot-holed road. Room 4 is an amazing room. Some rooms were at thd back and would be dark. Ask for room 4. We were leaving early, and got a great breakfast delivered to our room.

SingaporeOverall decor was a bit dated and receptionist could have been a little friendlier.
The chalet was very well maintained and super clean with stunning views. Was so fabulous to be so embedded in nature and to hear the sounds of the waterfall. Lots of food to light the fire which kept the cabin super cosy. We used the Kolkol which was one of our most magical experiences as a family. Dinner was also super tasty and restaurant staff very friendly.

United StatesWe loved our stay at The Fernery. The staff was incredible! They did so much to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we wanted to make our stay enjoyable. We stayed during the winter, so the rooms were a bit chilly even with the space heater and fireplace, but it was cozy every evening in bed with the bed warmers. We used both hot tubs- just remember to book in advance if you want the hut tubs- we loved the hot tubs at the end of a long day exploring and hiking. Lovely stay! I hope I get to stay again in the future. Do pass up on this accommodation if you’re in the area.

South Africaset in a most spectacular situation on the edge of a river gorge with its water rushing down to the sea. it smelled of pine and forest and all we could hear was birdsong and running water. how did they build it, we wondered? so close to the edge, yet so safe to stand on.... dining room had glorious views of the sea beyond, and the cocktail deck was perched above the rushing water. quite an extraordinary place.

IsraelThere was heavy smoky smell in the room even we didn't use the fireplace. The recomendation was not to open windows and doors due to monkeys and other animals that can enter( there are no nets on the windows) so we felt uncomfterable during the night. There must be a way to ventilate the room before new guests arrive.
The location, the hot tub, the amazing view, very comfortable room and good breakfast. The stuff was helpful and nice.
