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.).

AustraliaNot a huge amount of privacy if the next door is also booked. If someone walks by the windows they will see into your whole room and bed area. Luckily no one got a scare this time! To get to the place is difficult without a car. The bus drops you off on the main road outside which is wonderful but you have to walk up a steep and narrow road to the place which does not have a pedestrian part for some reason. This isn't the properties fault but it's a tough climb after a hike. The check in time is wrong on booking.com. we arrived at 1pm and waited for a while, eventually phoning and finding out check in is actually 3pm. Luckily our room was ready which is nice!
Quirky vibe with stunning view and comfortable little luxuries. The spa bath was wonderful after our long hikes. The TV was set up with Netflix and other things so we were able to watch a movie from bed on a big screen. Plenty of space with a gorgeous view of the lake. And a piano in the room just for fun!

New ZealandNo air conditioning was available and this place will be better for people with cars as there were no pavement or other areas for me to go up the hills then roads where cars go around.
Really liked the view and that the bus stop was just down the hills.

New ZealandNothing. Maybe ensure that the sofa pillowcases are changed constantly and no coffee in the room. Although we brought our own coffee, it’d be nice to those who didn’t bring any.

United KingdomThe property was without water for over 12 hours. This was outside of the owners control and they did provide bottled water very quickly once we called them. They could have kept us better informed about progress on the return of the supply. The property is more than walking distance from the town so you will have to drive and pay the exorbitant parking fees, Access to the property is via a very steep road with two hairping bends. There are then quite a few steps to the room as well.9
The view from the apartment was amazing. It is very spacious. It is quite an unexpected find and very hard to define or describe.9
