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 AfricaI was disappointed. We wanted to extend our stay and contacted the establishment directly. They wanted to charge as R3,000 for 4 days and the costs on Booking.com was only R1,632.96. We ended up extending our stay on Bookings.com. We felt that the establishment was taking advance of us. As it was almost double the amount when booking directly with them.

HungaryThere was a bunch of workers staying there, and they made a lot of noise and clogged up the bathroom for hours in the morning and evening. I'm not sure if that's a permanent thing, but it's definitely worth planning around.
Colourful, lively house with quirky nooks and crannies. I liked my room, which I had to myself. There is parking in the yard behind a house, which is useful if you are road tripping on the Garden Route. It is within walking distance to some amazing shops, cafés, and the beach. The hosts are super nice and helpful.

South AfricaMercua was a great host and most understanding and agreed to compromise the fact that we might be late from an outing and will avail herself to to open the door as she is staying on the premises. We stayed in a single room hence had our privacy. Shower and toilet are communal but comfortable to use and easy accessible from our room. A nice balcony to relax on was a great bonus. Mercia the host also provide us with extra chairs to accommodate our visitors when joined us for a chilled evening. Bedding were clean and beds comfortable. Thank you so much Mercia for your kind soul which is most welcoming.

GermanyGreat place to stay. I felt very welcome by the owner Johann. Late checkin was no problem, he helped me with my luggage and we had a good talk. The room and the whole place was very clean. They have a clean kitchen with everything you need, a tv room and a lot of balconies where you can enjoy the view on the ocean. Johann was very Kind and he even made me some breakfast and organized me a lift to the busstation. Overall all a very pleasant and uncomplicated stay. Would definitely recommend 👍
