Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomBathroom was very small, though functional - would have appreciated a face cloth/washer. For the breakfast, would have liked it to be a bit more flexible (eg, ability to order different combinations, and able to eat a bit later than 8:30 am). Just brewed coffee available - no french press or espresso.
Lovely old home, wonderfully close to the centre of town, but still very quiet. Big room and comfortable bed, with thoughtful extra amenities (range of teas, biscuits in the room). Bathroom was small but functional with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Excellent wifi. As an old house, there are the odd creaks and groans, but well-maintained. Host was very personable and helpful. Good range on the menu for breakfast.

United KingdomThe room and bathroom were very clean, but the sheets were full of black short hairs. I know the sheets were washed as they smelled fresh but there could have been more attention paid to the hairs, it wasn't a pleasant experience when I was getting into bed, had to spend 5 mins plucking them out from the bedding.
Colin was a lovely host, very welcoming and friendly. The villa was in a great location, close to the town centre, but in a quiet area. Room was spacious and clean and the breakfast in the morning was delicious.

United KingdomNothing really, it was a little inconvenient having the private bathroom outside of my room, but this was only for the single room I had. All other rooms have en-suites. It wasn’t a problem, just maybe for other guests who might see my dash across the hall in my towel!
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Dumfries villa. The bed was very comfy, the breakfast was lovely, and the location is great (situated near the train station - but can’t hear the trains, and a 5min walk away from town centre).
