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.).

PortugalThe host was super nice, accommodating our need for an earlier breakfast than the usual starting hours. Bathrooms were big and modern (we were on the lower floor so no problem with stairs). Even though our room was in the spot with most movement, we didn't hear any noise inside the room, it had really nice sound isolation.

United StatesThere was no microwave, fridge, or kitchen area available for guests. The narrow spiral staircase was dangerous, and the only bathrooms were downstairs, so you had to navigate it at night to go to the bathroom.
The location was very convenient. The hosts were kind. Breakfast had homemade smoked salmon and waffles, which were tasty. Internet worked well.

A nice family-run guest house. The five bed rooms and two shower rooms are all renovated, comfortable and up to standard. The breakfast is rather basic, but the landlord tries to fulfil all wishes, including serving earlier than normal.

United StatesThe room was extremely small, and we had no idea in advance that the bathroom was downstairs, and I room was upstairs which made it difficult. Additionally, we had to takeoff our shoes in the guest house, which made it going outside to the car and retrieving our luggage from the room complicated.
It was very clean and the location was convenient. The breakfast was good.

BulgariaThere were just 2 bathrooms for 5 rooms (2 or 3 people each), which I imagine can cause delays for people to get ready especially in the mornings. This happened to us one evening when a couple took both bathrooms and took ~1 hour in which time we couldn't wash or go to the bathroom. Your mileage will vary depending on the current guests, as occupancy was always full of all rooms when we were there. Breakfast was included in the price, but I personally felt it was a bit underwhelming, especially if you wanted to eat somewhat healthy - there were no fruit, a small plate with some tomato and cucumber slices, boiled unpeeled eggs that were cold from the fridge which were not refiled once they were out. Apart from that you had bread, margarine, slices of ham cheese and jams for sandwiches, gaufrettes, corn flakes, muesli, milk and several fruit juices.
A really lovely guesthouse, great for an overnight stay. The place was very clean and new. The employee who was taking care of the place was really nice, showed us around and we chatted a bit about where he is from and what he is doing in Iceland. The bathrooms were large and clean, with spacious showers where you comfortably wash and toilet in the same room.

Costa RicaOther guests were talking in the kitchen and we heard them from our room (it was right next to the kitchen). But not a big deal, after a while they went to their rooms.
The owner welcomed us and was so kind to have the breakfast ready earlier than usual so we were able to start our day as we planned, and it was a really great breakfast. Beautiful place and very comfy.
