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.).

LithuaniaWell, practically everything was fine, except for the slight smell in the bathroom.
I'm glad I just found a cheaper place than the cave house, but also in the old town among the winding streets. The old house is charming, the interior, wooden ceiling beams, the view from the huge kitchen window is great. There is everything you need, a large library for guests. It's quiet, peaceful around, well, maybe it's not the tourist season. If I travel through those places, I will definitely choose this hostel.

United StatesThis is a wonderful, quirky, hostel-style accommodation. I can normally be a little wary of hostels or booking places that have a similar setup but La Casona de la Luz defied my expectations. In a cozy space with your own bathroom and hot water (very important to me) I had a great visit here... the kitchen is well stocked for cooking and making coffee, and overall the space is quiet and has a nice view of the city. The price was an excellent value.

United KingdomNothing.
Lovely old (we were told 1000yrs old) house set up like a UK hostel with some private rooms and some bunk rooms. We had a private room with a private bathroom and it was just like a nice hotel. The shared kitchen was well equipped and overlooked the courtyard. No Aircon in the room but it didn't need it. The host Gabriel was very welcoming.

NorwayIn the summer it was a bit warm in the room at night although there was some common air condition in the house. The rooms are just separated by walls not going all the way to the cieling, so the rooms are not very sound proof. I think we were alone and was not bothered by this.
Very cozy house with a nice common kitchen. Basic lodging, but clean and friendly. The kids loved the kittens in the back yard, and were invited to pet with them by the friendly staff at the house. Back yard was used for concert in the evening the day we arrived, but was over before we got back from our excursion in the city (11pm).

He told me about the interesting history of his 1000 year old property and even took me on an evening walking tour where he tour where I learned about some of the interesting legends connected with the town, some of them spooky stories. I really admired the style, décor, and ambience of historic building. Strongly recommended for those who are not only interested in comfort, but also culture and history.
