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.).

IndiaThe host is a lovely person and the caretakers are all very helpful. They got our bags from the main road as the property is a short 2-3 minute walk down the path. The place has a old world beauty about it. For the price point, it is perfect.

New ZealandAsela and his family were so welcoming and made us feel at home in their beautiful house. Our room was huge and breakfast each morning was amazing. We got a free pick up and drop off from Nanuoya station as well as laundry done at the property. Asela gave us a lot of history about the house and the town of Nuraya Eliya and lots of tips about the activities we wanted to do. Right next to a mountain you can hike up amongst tea fields and 10-15 minutes walk into town. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

PortugalThe hot water shower wasn't easy as didn't have a lot of pressure, it is a bit far from the town centre (but in a nice quiet location, so depends on what you value)
The host, Asela, was incredible: picked us up from the station and left us there again at the end, was very knowledgeable and friendly and taught us about the country and gave us good tips for walks around Nuwara Eliya, making our stay so much more valuable. Breakfast was very good.

GermanyAsela was by far the best host we had throughout our tour through Sri Lanka - and we had many super friendly and welcoming stays. Asela literally shared his family home with us, as well as his thoughts and experiences - and it was always wonderful to sit and talk with him! Thank you for being such a great host, you made our stay really special! And thank you also to the rest of the family is course! Other than that the food was great and so was the location: Quiet but close to everything. Asela gave us a lift to and from the railway station, which was super helpful. And not to forget: The house where you will be able to stay is like a museum with an interesting and rich history.

GermanyOur stay at Shirin1892 was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the owner's extraordinary kindness and attention to detail. Starting our trip at 5 in the morning seemed daunting, but the owner went above and beyond by preparing a delicious breakfast to go, ensuring we started our day on the right foot. Furthermore, his gesture of picking us up and personally escorting us to the nearby train station truly exemplified his dedication to ensuring our comfort and convenience. Moreover, the house itself is a gem, retaining its original charm and character from 1892. Each corner exudes history and warmth, making our stay a truly unique and memorable experience. We were captivated by the authenticity and beauty of Shirin1892.
