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.).

Really lovely host. Room was really five star and lovely and clean with every little thing thought of. Fast WiFi too.

AustraliaVery cramped food preparation area and living area shared with the three single beds. Having said this the price was good and suited our needs for the stay as we only needed a base to sleep
Good communication with owner. Facilities were very clean with more than adequate crockery cutlery, ironing board etc provided.

As soon as we walked inside the doorway it felt like home! Fresh flowers in vases, real pot plants and neat as a pin with plenty of room to relax. A great location, quiet, easy to find and only a short walk to the local supermarket and takeaway etc.

AustraliaThe single beds are on the side of the living area, but this suited us fine with primary aged kids. BYO fresh milk for tea & coffee.
Spotlessly clean and fresh, absolutely no smells, not even fragrances from cleaning sprays. Great communication and help from the owner on one or two small queries I had. Lovely comfortable furnishings and linen. Often when staying away from home there are multiple small things missing that I notice, but here every little thing was thought of. The open fireplace was beautifully set, ready for lighting. Excellent value for money.

AustraliaWhat a lovely place. And big enough for 5 people (one couple and three others) in lovely decor. Kitchen complete with toaster, kettle and microwave was a bonus that I wasn't really expecting. The bathroom was very modern and the shower accomodated the tallest of people and also the shortest having two shower types to choose from.

Australianot much - As a morning tea drinker, I guess I'd have liked to known if there was (fresh!) milk in the fridge or not (there wasn't, so I would have bought some on the way if I'd known. but didn't think) that's about it, hard to fault anything else. The place was so outstanding this was hardly a 'negative'
absolutely beautiful rooms, residential area was super quiet, host was very helpful messaging info
