How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewAbsolutely amazing atmosphere, lovely owner who made every effort to accommodate our needs, far beyond our expectations. Great and helpful staff, both at the reception desk and the kitchen. Getting our coffees on the second day exactly like we had them on our first day without us saying a word was really impressive!
The fact that we have to leave after just 2 nights... We wish we could stay longer!

Verified reviewThe location, which is in the town’s Main Street, close to many shops, restaurants and baths.
There are now curtains or shutters, that hide the sunlight. Due to day we were forced to wake up very early. Also, there is no air conditioning system in the hotel. We were lucky to stay in the hotel when it’s still cold outside, and as I have already read in previous review, the missing AC could be a huge problem.

Verified reviewLocation, comfortable bed. Breakfast was good, however not a 10 out of 10
No kettle in the room, you have to walk down to the lobby. No coffee in the room either. It was cold in the room despite the heaters being on max. Cold floor in the bathroom and room itself. Sofa was broken. We booked a bigger room but were initially given a smaller one. I went downstairs to clarify and was told that booking distributes the rooms automatically, I doubt that. I was given a bigger room eventually but received no apologies whatsoever. Extremely expensive parking of 16€.

Verified reviewThe location is amazing, very central; the room was big, clean, and quiet, even though it was in the center of the town. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast spread was fantastic, definitely worth its price!
The bed wasn't very comfortable, especially the pillows; we wanted to try the massages at the hotel, but there was no service available due to the season (the staff kindly recommended an alternative)

Verified reviewLocation was fantastic and the staff were really lovely and helpful. Went out of their way to help and breakfast was really lovely.
Our rooms were on the 4th floor and felt a little attic like. Quite compact but that was ok. Tiny windows, no views which was disappointing. No coffee tea facilities in room, no daily clean towel service, heater in bathroom didn’t do much and shower dripping all night. We booked months in advance hoping we would have a room like the pictures. We then paid extra to “upgrade” one of the rooms. So considering we came from the other side of the world it was a little disappointing. Perhaps the other rooms are better.

Verified reviewA wide variety of breakfasts. The staff is very kind. The room size is perfect and the bathroom is large enough.
The pillow is too soft and it would be better to have a kettle in the room.
