Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

GermanyThere is nothing we could complain about. Just one recommendation for further stays, when we were not in the room and came back we notice that someone came in to bring some stuff, a little message to let us know about that would have been great.
Darley was such an excellent host, he gave us good recommendations and lend cards for using the public transport (which when she received the bill, forward to us and we payed later) so we could directly in the trains without any hassles. The mini fridge was full with a wide selection of drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), snacks and breakfast for the next day, and large selection of coffee tablets. We had a wonderful stay.

United States of AmericaAn airy, light, elegant, and well designed apartment in the center of Hilversum, yet on a quiet street and a very short walk to shops, great food, and the train station (20 minutes from Amsterdam). We were greeted with lit candles and classical music. The bikes were perfect for a ride through town and beyond - the city is surrounded by forests and is very close by dedicated bike paths to other towns. The apartment was fully stocked with food - beyond expectations! Plenty of books and maps to help us learn more about the area and the country. Best of all were our hosts Marielise and her husband, who went out of their way to enhance our visit with thoughtful recommendations, information, and great conversation. We were there only 3 nights but felt like we made new friends!

NetherlandsThis is a little apartment with separate bedroom, living room, and bathroom (shower, no bath). While breakfast is not included, it does include a fully stocked kitchen with plenty of food that’s already included in the price. For the taller people: the shower head can move up to be useful even for people well over 2.10m / 7’. The Bed is long enough for my 1.94m / 6’4”. It’s right in the center of town, so there are plenty of places to eat (and drink) around the corner. There are also two supermarkets very close by.

Netherlands- the location for this unique place, in the centre easy to reach from the train station - Marielise the owner of the house was ready and my arrival explained everything and was very helpful with information. - All started from the moment I booked it, I was in touch with her and all was organized as requested. I got a lot of suggestions from her in case I would have time to do some sightseeing. Very nice itineraries which I hope next time I can experience. - Although most would say it is for place for leisure stay, the house is excellent as well for business travellers who like to have the feeling to be in a house instead of just a room!

MaltaMarielise is an extremely accommodating person. The apartment is simply perfect with all the small touches that make all the difference. Although the breakfast is not officially included, she left a lot of food in the apartment which we could make use of. She all reserved a parking space for us which is just around the corner. A stone's throw away, there is a food hall, supermarkets, shops, and a village market every Saturday morning. The ambiance in the apartment is simply amazing and if I were to be in this area again, I would surely book again! Thanks Marielise!
