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.).

AustraliaI arranged for an airport pickup through the hotel and I think it was a little overpriced.
Excellent location and rooms. I arrived late at night and they had my dinner which I had pre-ordered ready to go. I only had the 1 night, but the rooms were comfortable, the food was delicious and everything was quite easy. Beds were comfortable as well.

What a lovely hotel - our room was beautiful with a huge comfy bed and an amazing shower in the middle of the room. Nice to have a table and chairs outside too. The staff were fantastic - super helpful and really went above and beyond to help us (especially Charity). The taxi driver was brilliant that they recommended too. The food is the restaurant is great - really beautifully presented and tasty. Nice wine selection too. Breakfasts are cooked for you which is a nice change from a buffet. In a clean, safe area. Will definitely return.

South AfricaAs you can probably tell my my review above there was absolutely nothing we disliked at this beautiful boutique hotel, it is outstanding.
Everything was beyond our expectations. The staff:- From the moment we arrived all the staff, from the receptionist, to the garden and maintenance crew, servers in the intimate well appointed restaurant (with an incredible wine cellar), were incredible, knowledgeable, helpful, polite, and perfectly attired. The grounds:- Are immaculate and well manicured providing plenty of spacious parking for our large 4X4. The beautiful sparkling pool with plenty of Sun loungers. Our room:- The furnishings (curtaining, blinds, floor rug, furniture, side tables) linen, gowns, towels, lighting, climate control, sound system, TV, crockery, etc etc. The thoughtful toiletries provided. The mini bar fridge stocked with lots of wonderful offerings, Nespresso coffee machine and frother PLUS the chocolates, chips, popcorn and other tasty treats. Need I say more? Absolutely fabulous and we will definitely be staying at The Giglio again and again!! The restaurant:- Unfortunately due to other commitments we only managed breakfast, which was also outstanding! My eggs Benedict were delicious with perfectly soft poached eggs and smoked salmon, as was my husbands omelette. Beautiful tasteful crockery, cutlery and table linen. Honestly I could go on and on about the thought and fine detail that has gone into this amazing establishment - FIVE STARS + 🤩

PortugalThe perfect safe oasis before ending our trip around South Africa. This beautiful hotel is 15 minutes from the airport. The amenities and service are high quality. The staff is so kind and the food is DELICIOUS! We had dinner the night we arrived (the peri peri chicken and balsamic chicken) - it was a meal you think about after eating. The complimentary breakfast is also delicious. I recommend the eggs Benedict. Everything was 10/10 and the perfect hotel close to the airport.

This hotel is a gem in the city with extremely comfortable bed and beautiful quality and stunning furnishings. Breakfast is also beautifully prepared and so scrumptious. We enjoyed our overnight stay and we will definitely be back for a weekend break! We are a fussy couple and we totally loved and enjoyed our stay.
