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.).

BulgariaThe only drawback was that the electric shower in the bathroom didn't work and we had to use the bathtub.
I liked the good location (the bus stop to the city centre is 3m away) and one of the friendliest staff I've ever come across. Since I had to book this place on rather short notice as our previous reservation got cancelled, we had to arrive late at nearly 20:00 o'clock. A very friendly person helped us out on the phone to find the key lockbox and get in because it was locked. The room was very cosy, there was even Netflix and other apps on the smart TV. There was also tea and a water heater. I also loved the bathtub. In the morning a kind lady made us toast, croissants, eggs and coffee and we had a very pleasant chat with her. She even gave us the contact information of a friend of hers in the city centre to leave our luggage! A definite recommendation!

United KingdomSome of the breakfast consisted of cheap and, to me, unpleasant constituents. Cereal was fine, but the rest of the meal was marred by inferior orange juice, tea, bread (for toast) and butter. It would not cost much to give guests a good breakfast experience. Eggs were all that was available as a cooked breakfast. I didn't mind that but the accompaniments needed to be of an acceptable standard.
This Guest House is in the centre of Summertown, a great place to be.

Lovely, comfortably furnished double room overlooking peaceful back gardens and churchyard. Super comfortable bed, nice new bathroom, decent smart TV (bigger than current photo!). Healthy breakfast with freshly-cooked eggs, toast, fruit, yogurt, cereals and more. Welcoming, friendly hosts. Well located. Shops and several coffee and eating places right outside in Summertown. City's a quick bus ride, 15mins by bike or walkable by a choice of pleasant routes.

GreeceEven if the check out time in Booking is stated as between 11-11:30, the stuff of the property became really persistent at 11 o'clock, knocking and opening the room door to our friend who was finishing his shower at 11:10. It is reasonable to waiting your guests to leave the room on time, but being annoying before the stated time, is taking a lot of the otherwise excellent experience. Please correct the check out time on Booking if you're expecting guests to leave the room by 11 am. The street in front of the property is a busy one, so it can get a bit noisy.
The room was cute and a definite value for money.
