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 StatesWhen I booked our rooms I didn't realize how far it was from the end of our walk and from dining options.
Our hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We were struggling to find our way to our accommodation with our backpacks after a 9-mile walk and called our host. He didn't hesitate to reassure us that he would pick us up and get us settled in and we were so grateful! The made-to-order breakfast was absolutely wonderful. In the morning we needed to get to our next starting point and our host offered to drop us there. Our hosts were definitely exceptional!

Frank & Lorraine are great hosts, the rooms were spotless & comfortable. Breakfast choices, service & food quality/portion sizes were all excellent. Others have said the rooms are ‘dated’, they’re not; they’re just fine & it’s a homely experience staying here.

United KingdomEasy to find with super hospitable hosts. Lovely double room with a small but perfectly functional en-suite shower room. Use of a lovely sitting room/ dining room to use in the evening with the offer to get food delivered if you wanted. We had an early start so left before breakfast, we were offered 2 alternatives for a cooked breakfast and opted for the packed lunch which was outside our door in the morning.

Everything! Frank and Lorraine were perfect hosts. Frank was so welcoming, and you immediately felt at home. The accommodation was clean, warm and cosy. A fabulous choice was offered for breakfast. It took about 40 minutes along the river path to walk to Balloch and Loch Lomond. We would definitely recommend Sunnyside. It was a most enjoyable stay. Thank you xx

PolandIt was amazing. Frank and Lorraine were so friendly and helpful. The room was cosy and clean. Breakfast was served fresh, and we had a lot of choices. Frank playing the piano in the dining/living room in the afternoon was a great bonus! It is a nice, peaceful, and quiet place, but it is close to many attractions. We are definitely coming back!
