Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomClean and close the location to where I needed to go.
I need to contact them to let them know my arrival time. However, they never answer the phone. I tried and tried for 3 days from 9-5pm. No one answered. So, I emailed them, but I am not sure if they have received or not as I did not received any emails from them.

Czech RepublicReally small bed for a couple, my partner is 2 m tall and couldn’t fit comfortably. Plus the mattress had springs in it, not the world´s comfiest thing to sleep on, but for a few days it was ok. The cleaning standards could also be better, we found some black hairs on our pillows and on the towels we very provided with, but otherwise it was clean.
The location was great, super nice staff and it was very quiet accommodation.

The room was quiet and the bed was sufficiently comfortable.

United KingdomIt would have been useful to have a list of breakfast places in the near vicinity, especially for Sunday morning. The low-energy bulbs made the room a little dim, but really that wasn't a problem.
The room was very clean, a good temperature, and the bed was comfortable. It was all I needed it to be.

United KingdomStaff were not there when we checked in, so had to contact them via phone to get the key, but managed to get let in relatively easily.
Guest house was lovely for the price paid, very spacious room with lovely decor and gorgeous bay window. Bathroom facilities were great, though didn't use the shower so cant review that. Close to a bus stop that gets you to the city centre quickly despite being situated in a quieter area outside the main city. Check in and out was quite easy.

United KingdomIt was absolutely boiling as soon as ypu walked into the house to the point it knocked us sick - even turning our radiator down we were still too hot as we were top floor. Also, I wasn't made aware that there would be construction being done so when pulling up it looked bit messy and was concerned. The TV wouldn't work either but luckily we had taken games to entertain my 9 year old.
Room was very clean and spacious.
