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.).

United KingdomWould be nice to have a small TV in main bedroom (but that’s my personal preference as I struggle with my back & can’t sit on normal sofa for too long) so it’s not really a ‘don’t like’ about the property- more of a ‘wish list’

United KingdomJaponica House was exceptionally clean and spacious and had everything we could have wanted/needed for our short break. We could have happily stayed here for a long long time. Fantastic central location for travelling around the broads and the norfolk coast. Gary (the host) has been exceptionally helpful from the point of booking with 5 star communication throughout. Japonica house is a truly beautiful home. We cannot wait to return and this will be our number one choice for accommodation when returning.

United KingdomWe were very hot the first night and would have benefitted with sheets for the beds, as it was too hot for a duvet. We ended up taking the duvets out of their covers and using them as sheets, which worked well. The beds themselves were very comfortable. The only other issue was that there was only one bin in the whole house, which was the kitchen bin. There were no bins in either bathroom or the bedrooms, which was quite inconvenient, but will be very easily rectified. Also... a stair gate at the top of the stairs (which are quite steep) would be a great addition for peace of mind for families with younger children.
Japonica House was perfect for what we needed and wanted for our short break in Norfolk. It was easy to find, had its own parking space and was easy to access on arrival, It was very clean and a good size for me and my four children. It had great facilities and was in a good location for lots of lovely places to visit. Gary was a fantastic host, who made lots of effort to communicate all the necessary information prior to arrival and was available to answer any questions I might have. He responded to email messages very promptly. We liked the house very much and would definitely consider staying again.
