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.).

AustriaThere was only one thing I can complain about. But I have to point I'm a bit more sensitive than other people: the building (or maybe it was only my room) is badly soundproofed. I heard a lot of annoying noises from the room upstairs (jumping kids etc.). So if you're sensitive like me, please don't forget to take your ear-plugs.
- beautiful and calm area in the forest, no street noises, only wonderful nature - absolutely cute typical Swedish house - everything you need in the room: a comfortable bed, a table, chairs, even a mirror - clean big shower-room, clean toilets - big fully equipped kitchen with two big fridges - no reception, no waiting, no stress - you get a message with the code to the main door and the number of your room, the room-key is in your door - noone comes at the check-out time to remind you that you should already leave I don't expect so much comfort for this price! Absolutely recommended.

FinlandYou are expected to use mobile phone to arrange check in / check out. Calling around to find out when and where to pay can mean extra costs for foreign travellers.

SpainThere was no reception- we were given the code to the door and instructions for our arrival but never met anyone. I read on Booking there was laundry and emailed to ask because I couldn’t find it but never got a response. It also said there were bikes to borrow but a friend asked and they didn’t have any. One night we came back and the key pad to the door wasn’t working so we tried calling the phone numbers listed but got no answer. On the day before we checked out I asked how to pay and they didn’t respond until the next day at 10 when we could have already left. They asked us to go to another building but when we got there there was no one home and we had to wait outside in the rain while we called them. For most of Europe I would expect something more for this price but I think in Sweden the quality-price is fairly typical. I would have liked a bit more contact from the owners/staff though.
Clean, very well equipped kitchen, comfortable common room. Rooms were fine as were bathrooms. They were comfortable, warm enough and with enough space to unpack a bit. The hostel was cleaned every day and the man who cleaned was very nice. Quiet and in nature, beautiful surroundings, nice trails. Walkable to súper markets and train. 15-20 minute walk to the center of the town.

United StatesIt appears when booking that a free bike rental is an option, but the property said they didn't have any available. Town is so close that this wasn't an issue, but would recommend they change that option if it no longer exists.
Hard to explain the uniquenes of this place. In a historic group of buildings located on a nature preserve, with trails right out the front door, 5 minute walk to grocery, and from there, you're on the main street of a great little town. Quiet at night, but with a group this place could also be a lot of fun. Full kitchen I didn't take advantage of but great for any on a budget.
