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...).

The house is placed close to the castle and in a beautiful area. The communication with Jolanda was excelente since the beginning. She is a nice host. The apartment is small but enough for a couple and with all the necessary stuff in there. It was comfortable.

We very much liked the authentic setting and atmosphere of this beautiful old townhouse which is located up in the town and reached via a sequence of narrow alleys and small squares (coming from the river valley) and we liked the plain and we liked the simple interior yet the house felt very cosy and it was practically equipped for example the kitchen has everything for making you own breakfast or dinner and we liked the rooftop terrace and the views over the roofscape of the town and into surrounding landscape - this is just wonderful.

United States of AmericaThe 3 floors of steps wee at times a challenge for my wife who is 80 and my 75 year old surgically replaced ankles. As were the cobblestone streets and walk ways esp. when wet were very slippery and challenging at times. However, as long as we took things slowly and carefully, we found the location well worth it.
Lovely view from the top floor. All three floors full of nice little touches. Location very good for Castle and fortress area.

SwedenThe designated parking space was often occupied, but the nearby free parking lot was easier to get in and out of in any case. I parked there.
The location and position of this little house make it truly unique: well up the hill in the old town, a two minute walk from the castle, with views of the whole valley from the rooftop terrace! It takes a day or two to get used to the layout, with a room on each of the three floors and steep stairs, but I grew to love it. The kitchen is especially cosy on a cold January morning, and also very well equipped. I really enjoyed my stay here.

PolandNothing, I loved absolutely everything.
The whole house was super cosy. I went to Silves for work, but the stay in this house has made me feel "immersed" in the south Portugal style of living. Everything was perfectly clean, and the whole house was equipped with everything that could be needed. And, the cherry on the top - the whole-roof terrace that allow to see the whole town of Silves - it was PERFECT!
