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.).

PhilippinesBecause this is a guesthouse, I understand no lift available you need to carry your luggage up and down the stairs. You cannot see a staff to ask around. When I tried to talk to the staff using the call outside of the front door upon check in, she hardly don't understand what I said. The communication is very difficult. I tried to message in this app but no response at all regarding my complaint in the shower control that it was broken and hard to turn it off. No shampoo available in the bathroom.
Easy access to city centre just a bus away. Comfy bed and clean toilet/shower. No window room but it is fine, have own hair blower and can borrow the clothes iron/rack that was hang around the hallway.

FranceI didn't like the shower. The water was poorly floating (really difficult to shampoo) and it was too hot or too cold, not easy to find a half way.
I really liked the cleaning of the room, everything was comfortable, it was a little cold at the beginning but we soon understood how to make the heating work and it was great. The room was big and with every comfort inside, the TV, different ways of lighting it up, big and comfortable bed.

NorwayI do however think that the management of this hotel would do well to spend a couple of nights in each of the rooms; during that time they would figure out a few things that would improve the guest experience! Firstly, the room needs coat hooks! Edinburgh is cold, wet and windy so guests will generally have at least one, perhaps several coats. These need to hang up, especially when they are wet. There are no coat hooks to do this on, so I was left to precariously drape my rain jacket over the armchair thing, which meant I couldn't sit on it when the rain jacket was wet. It isn't enough to suggest we put them on the clothes hanger thing, because there weren't enough coat hangers and they wouldn't dry there anyway. Secondly, I was baffled by the lack of a "do not disturb" sign for the door. I was sometimes out late with my colleagues and wanted a lie-in the following day. Or I was out early, before the cleaning service started in the hotel. The cleaning service would call every day before ten in the morning, and I had no way of signalling that I didn't want them to clean my room / wake me up. I tried asking them, but wasn't able to properly communicate what it was that I wanted. Perhaps I just couldn't find the sign? Thirdly, there's a prominent sign above the bedside drawers saying that the hotel is not responsible for property left in the room in excess of £50, even when the room is locked. This is ridiculous for a hotel that aims to support modern holidaymakers or business travelers. What was I supposed to do when I went out in the evening for dinner? Take my suit
I stayed here while attending an academic conference at the Pollock estate (the hotel is well situated for this!). I stayed in room 5 and have some feedback about it. In general the room was good, and I enjoyed not having to faff with check-in & check-out etc. The autonomy is cool and the room and furniture were generally as I expected given the photos on the website and the price-point of the hotel.
