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 KingdomI absolutely loved my stay! My hosts were so kind and welcoming. They truly make you have an extraordinary experience. I really appreciated all the advice and recommendations. The room was lovely and the bed was so comfy I feel asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and there were more than enough choices! I really can't wait to come again, I would definitely recommend staying here it's gorgeous.

United KingdomIt was spot on for the two nights I needed whilst attending a course so there was nothing to dislike.
The warmest of welcomes set the scene. My room was beautifully clean and cosy, there are many thoughtful little touches, tasty breakfasts and a great, central but quiet location. (WiFi was available, I just didn't use it so cannot grade it!) I'd happily recommend and would like to return. Thank you to Julie and Chris.

GermanyThe hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful, very hands-on. Great breakfast selection (even for vegetarians/vegans). The guest house is cozy and comfy and makes you feel right at home. Location is fantastic, just off the main road, barely five minutes from the train/bus station but still quiet.

United KingdomGarth Dderwen is a lovely Victorian house in Betws y coed. Everything is tidy and cared for and attention is paid to every small detail. Federica and I really enjoyed our stay there. Julie and Chris are great hosts and provided us with a lot of tips and information about walks, places to go for eating out and gave advice on alternative itineraries when the weather was not good. The special option on the Breakfast menu of the weekend was a lovely surprise that I have really appreciated. I do really hope to come back in the future.

NetherlandsThe rooms and bathroom are ok but pretty small. The house is a charming elder house brought to modern standards, but all a bit small. Combining rooms would be a possible improvement to this point.
Very kind people, doing their utmost best to make you feel at home. Lots of information about the surroundings. Excellent breakfast.
