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...).

New ZealandThe bed was very uncomfortable unfortunately and the room was very small, but got cold easily. Also there was a cat in our bed when we came, which we didn’t mind but can imagine a lot of people would not like it.
The parking was possible inside the property which we appreciated. Vanessa was nice, talkative, gave us tip where to eat.

NetherlandsThe room was very nice and in walking distance to the beach. The host, Vanessa, was very lovely and always available for questions but also gave us space even though we lived in the same house. Public transport to the city is closeby.

New ZealandVanessa is an amazing and seasoned host. She's put a lot of work into managing guests. So helpful with local knowledge and spent an evening telling me about suburbs and impacts of the quakes. Her home is a couple minutes drive to New Brighton pier. It's great to extend "supporting local" to lovely local families who enjoy hosting.

TaiwanIt is a bit cold in the room, it only has a heat pump in the living room. If a small heater was provided in the room it would be better.
Cosy environment, easy self check-in. Good location to go to the seaside. Cats around, but it's a pity they were too shy that we didn't pat them.

New ZealandNothing at all!
Not just a home from home but felt like a 6-star guesthouse except as guests we were made to feel so welcome! The hens and cats were fantastic not forgetting the host and whanau too. Fresh eggs for breakfast too and the location was oh-so silent. We had come to Christchurch for a music festival and our unsociable hours were surprisingly ok.

Czech RepublicIt might come as a surprise to some that this is not classic accommodation, but actually Airbnb. Only a small room was rented, which could not even fit an unfolded suitcase and a separate toilet. Everything else: bathroom, dining room, kitchen was shared, but with the owner of the property who normally lived there.
Accommodation in a small clean family house in a quiet location.
