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 KingdomThe bathroom was a bit too cold, we were staying in winter though.
The location and view from the terrace. The room was thoughtfully supplied with everything you needed for a comfortable stay, even toothbrushes. It was great the room had Netflix. The manager was kind and helpful and replied to our requests instantly.

ItalyNothing really, but the WiFi was a bit spotty (sometimes). Which is to be expected on an island.
Great location, less than 5 min walk from the port. The host was really kind, even let us check-in early and gave us suggestions (as we were there during low season, and not much is open). Really comfortable bed, and had all the necessary essentials and ample space with a 360° deck on top. We had the Leonard Cohen room, which has an amazing view right in front of the door. Highly recommend Hydra Icons.

AustraliaCouldn't fault. It was lovely.
Fabulous. It was a pleasure to stay at Hotel Icons. The rooms are beautifully appointed and modern yet the hotel itself has all the charm of traditional Greek Island style and creativity. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The hosts were absolutely wonderful - thoughtful, pleasant and super professional.

AustraliaNot much - perhaps just a paint touch up, but I am sure the owner will attend to that in the winter months. It, however, did not detract from our stay at all
A fabulous quirky hotel, with the theme of celebrity icons who have visited Hydra. Beautifully appointed with fabulous king size bed and superior linen. Not all rooms have views, but ours on the upper level did. The host and his daughter were super friendly and very helpful. It shows that this is a family run business. We loved the roof patio with arguably the best views over hydra. Spent many hours up here in the morning and at sunset. Very special as it was close enough bough to be in easy walking distance to the port but far away enough to be quiet and peaceful
