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.).

Latviashortage of kitchen utensils, no spoons, no coffee machine
Perfect location, street view, nice room style and overall decorations. Room was of excellent comfort and cleanliness, however there was some shortage with facilities (kitchen utensils as spoons and forks are absent, there is no coffee machine, and it is no easy to prepare a breakfast for yourself because of this)

EstoniaCleaning of room was not ready when arrived at promised time 14. #10 room did not have good enough sound isolation between next room #3, caused by door connecting rooms and not having double doors as usually in hotels.
Location very good - close to center and to Vanemuise. Athmosphere old style building. Junior room was on 2 floors, kids liked it. Small TV -s - this seems appropriate for such interior era.

Belgium- No breakfast included but anyway possible to order from a limited menu - free tea available in the room but no instant coffee
- Super friendly staff - Original layout (basically the room is a small house) - Tartu is a small town so we did reach easily the centre by foot

EstoniaI really really love this place, sometimes small inconveniences happen, but in a grand scale of things its nothing: this time there was no parking in the yard and I had to park a bit further ahead, but since it was very slippery ,it was a bit inconvenient with the bags, but nothing undoable. I also changed the bed type, but didnt get a reply from the admin and when I got there, then my message had been read, but not replied and the new admin didnt know about it. She asked me to switch on the radiator myself which for a second made me a bit wary, since Im afraid of cold, but luckily when I actually got to the room, the radiators were warm.
Villa Margaretha continues to be one of the best accommodations in Tartu, in my opinion. You will get a beautiful room in an historic building in the walking distance of Tartu centre and its just lovely. You will have everything you need there for a lovely stay.
