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 KingdomNo personal control of the heating which did not come on when I needed it most. Would have liked some microwavable plates / tubs or something so that I could have heated up some food. Found the shower temperature difficult to control. Smaller than expected but still good value.
easy to book - just what I needed for one night. Easy to park at front of property. Bed comfy enough. Good size TV, Plenty of storage space

United KingdomSo I did see a lot of comments about cleanliness, I can see why (evidently not vacuumed after every visit) but the bed, and toiletries were very clean and that's what I care about.
Room suited my needs very well, check in was easy and so was check out which was especially important because I had to leave early. Staff were very lovely and helpful.

United KingdomThe kitchen was too small to cook anything. There was no place to sit and work. The room was quite old and it could be felt in the condition. The heating was not enough to keep the room warm despite a cold weather.
The place was well located right opposite a bus stop with good connections to Central Oxford

United KingdomNo staff on premises, it appeared that there was only 1 bathroom and toilet shared by everyone. Despite saying there is free wifi there is no details so none available. It says rooms sound proofed but they are not. The house could do with a refresh to match the rooms. The house is on a main road which light sleepers should be aware of
The single room was clean and comfortable, there was a kitchenette including a fridge freezer and microwave, tea and coffee and a TV. The single bed was comfortable and bedding and towels clean. The door was lockable with the key which was very reassuring as a single traveler in a full house.

South AfricaBoth double beds were pushed against a wall which made it difficult for the 2nd person to get in and out. There was little in the way of cutlery & plates etc.
Great location and value for money. Nice little touches like biscuits. The mattresses were very comfortable, and there was a back door leading to a garden and chairs. The washing machine and dryer were a bonus.
