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.).

SpainThe accommodation is very well located in the centre of the village, it has a lot of charm and confort so it is ideal for a couple's weekend enjoiying Stratford-upon-Avon. We arrived later than expected in the evening and Alex sorted all out to make it easy for us to check-in. Once there, Pascal welcomed us very kindly and gave us very good recommendations. Salamander Guest House is a highly recommended accommodation to get to discover and enjoy Stratford

United KingdomIt was slightly noisy with other guests coming and going and walking around but I was on the ground floor so this may have been the reason.
This guest house is a lovely property close to the amenities of town. The hosts were lovely (saw Pascal at the property and spoke to Alex via SMS as she was unfortunately unavailable during my stay, although she was available via SMS if I did need her) they were both pleasant and couldn't do enough for you, I was provided on arrival with a map and recommendations of places to eat which was greatly appreciated. The beds and pillows were lovely and soft and comfortable. There was a well stocked tea tray with biscuits and different types of teas and coffee with sugar and milk. The room also came with towels and shower gels/shampoo to use if needed. I booked a single room and was given an upgrade on arrival to a twin bedroom which was very thoughtful of the hosts and was much appreciated! Overall I had a lovely stay here and would recommend this place to anyone needing a place to stay while visiting!!!

United KingdomAll was well, can not fault anything.
Excellent stay, again. It was my second stay at Salamander Guest House and if anything, it was even better than last time. The house is very clean, modern, newly refurbished in a very convenient location. Very close to everything in the town center and to the train station. The host was wonderful, very polite, always with a smile, very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

United KingdomNeed a mirror in the second bedroom and rubber backed bathroom mat would be much safer, as it’s very slippy to step out of the shower onto. Shower head cannot be angled (bit that angles the head seems broken) and only angles down towards the back wall. All things very minor and easily remedied.
Alex has so friendly and helpful. Location was perfect. Property was clean and freshly renovated and comfy beds. Tv in both rooms was a great touch.

United Kingdomeverything was lovely, thank you Alex,
Alex was there to greet us when we arrived, she had given us a quiet room at the rear of the house as requested, the room was huge, 1 dble, 1 single, lovely comfy beds, clean fresh bedding, room was a little too warm for us ladies of a certain age, but a lovely big window that we could open sorted that out, bathroom was lovely, spotless, plenty of tea and coffee, the house was so quiet, Alex asked what we hoping to do whilst we were there, 2 ladies meeting up who wanted to chat, eat and drink so she marked on a map restaurant's and bars to visit, all close by and also best walks ect, all in all it was great, the only let down was the trains, which I will never set foot on again, I will drive in future,
