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 KingdomNothing really......just a bit disappointed that the hot tub wasnt in use (cold water) even though I asked beforehand if it would be usuable during our stay.
The property was just outside the busy port area so was lovely and quiet. We could see goats up in the mountain and hear pigeons and cockerels close by which was lovely to be so close to nature. The view was lovely from the balcony particularly of the old church on top of the mountain which we climbed up the path to it with a most amazing panoramic view of Symi. The owner was lovely and helpful and let us store our luggage after check out. Symi is beautiful and one night just wasnt enough!

TurkeyThe contact person of hotel told us to wait at the big anchor when we arrived and he/she would welcome us. We waited there and nobody came :) It was a very unrespectfull behaviour.
Housekeeping was very good , room had enough kitchen amenities, bathroom is enough and new, location was very good.

GreeceThe room was on the ground floor which we knew before booking and it was great, but we expected that since the property had a terrace that there would be a place to hang beachwear to dry. So a drying rack (even a shared one) in the terrace would be a nice addition. Another thing is that our host was an English-only speaker which we personally did not mind at all, but Greeks who do not speak English in general may face difficulties in communication.
The room was clean and fresh and had all the amenities required for a couple visiting Symi for a night or two (hairdryer, iron and board, coffee machine, spacious fridge etc.). The thing we appreciated the most is that the rooms although a bit elevated, are so conveniently located that there are no stairways to climb and that are very close to the main road, literally about 2 minutes walk from the action and 5 minutes walk from where the passenger ships berth. Our host Thalia was very friendly and accommodative, providing us with all the information we requested!

TurkeyThe building smelled of cigarettes as well as the room because the doors are very thin and there’s no isolation, thus gets very noisy when other guests enter the building. (our room was on the first floor looking in front) the smell when you enter the room was very distinct.
I liked the location and communication of the responsable person.
