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.).

United KingdomThe stairs to the loft mezzanine (bedroom) are tricky to walk up/down and the space between the bed and the ceiling is quite narrow and is a bit of a squeeze and definitely something to watch out for if you are tall. The heating is set centrally and can not be manually adjusted and requires intervention by the owners. We did find it either too hot or, in the mornings, quite cold. Due to a inclement weather on our stay, it might have been a good idea to have a mat on the inside as well as at the entrance to the property as we had no where to put muddy shoes or boots. The property is dog friendly but the gardens are private so any ‘business’ has to be conducted on the small line of grass at the front or during the day, one can utilise Beckenham Place Park (which is fantastic for dog walks).
The location was perfect for where we needed to be in regards to seeing family members. The owner, Gemma, provided brew kit but the coffee is ground coffee for a machine so if you want it quick, bring instant.

AustraliaYou had to be very careful with the stairs to the loft and watch your head on the sloping roof however was worth it.
It was a great location for us to explore the area of my birth. The residence was clean, roomy and the bed comfortable. The back yard was lovely and we enjoyed a late afternoon drink. Close to town and is walkable.The owners were great to communicate with.

United KingdomThe only thing we weren't so keen on was the spiral staircase to the top bed. Although this looked lovely, it felt a little dangerous with only one rail. Other than that the property was perfect.
Perfect location. Just a short drive away from Beckenham high street. Very clean and comfy. House was beautiful. Would definitely recommend. Hosts were fantastic and kept us updated. Everything we needed was there.

United KingdomAnother arm chair would be good. Maybe supply extra bedding for the sofa bed as a matter of course, I asked for it but didn't see any and never got around to asking when we got there. Stairs were scary, especially in the dark at 3am!
Lovely area. Comfy bed. Happy to find that it was so cool and comfortable in the 2022 heatwave. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and the shower lovely. The bus stop was almost outside and easy to get into Beckenham. We didn't bring our dog but I like that it is dog friendly.
