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 KingdomA little better noise insulation would improve things, as it was quite noisy at night with stairs creaking and doors closing. A bit more storage space would be appreciated. Only one rack for both of our clothes meant living out of a bag on the floor for most of the weekend.
Location was superb, communication with the Riverhouse was good although mainly by WhatsApp. Rooms were quite small and overlooked by surrounding houses, the window had no nets so we had the blind drawn most of the time for privacy. Shower cubicle had a very slippery floor, a bit more of a non-slip effect would be safer. Overall for the price it was very good.

New ZealandJust the road noise but that was more to do with having first room - get what you pay for though.
Very good location to train station and town. Room met expectation, a little road noise but possibly just our room as first in. Kitchen was user friendly and dining room good size. Staff were friendly and helpful and self check in was easy

United StatesEverything was great. The room was a bit warm, but not bad.
Fantastic location directly across from Millennium Stadium and the city centre. Instructions to enter the BNB were super clear and easy to follow; no surprises or confusion, which is always welcome. The room is a little small, but the spacious common area really makes up for it. Will definitely be back!

The rooms were rather large and comfortable with a nice view of the river. The toilets were exceptionally clean and had private cubicles and running hot water. The check in was easy and the owners were accommodating about storing of luggage. The kitchen had great facilities and also convenient access to clean drinking water straight from a filter!

Very comfortable. Extremely well organised. Warm. Lovely breakfast. Shared bathrooms were really good. Better than squeezing ones in the rooms. No noise from bathrooms either. Exceptionally clean & well-designed.
