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 KingdomCould be more soundproofing or rugs in rooms as sound does travel. Stairs were quite steep and I did fall on my first night there.
Owner and housekeepers were great. Got a nice big room with plenty of storage space, regular housekeeping, location was great with supermarket, bus stop and takeaways near by.

FranceDidn’t liked the staff, its not welcoming, we stayed 5 days with the same bed shift. My friend dropped a little bit a mascara to try to see if they actually change everyday the bed: they did not for the entire trip we had the same one with the same mascara on it. The bathroom is gross and the staff is not really welcoming with no communication with the people. We had 2 spéculos and 2 cups only every morning for 4 people and no milk.
The property was good, felt like I was at home but the staff is not good at all.

NigeriaWe booked the suite, it was small but not unreasonable, given the structure of the building. The bed was the worst thing about the room - wobbly and noisy, not great for body and bones. We did not share bathrooms with 3rd parties. this is the room to book if you do not want to share bathroom at this facility. I doubt there was a washing machine or dryer. Thankfully we had a relative's place where we sorted that out. There was no kitchen, no microwave, the best you can do is make tea for yourself. The code at the gate works, ask for it or else you will be locked out and nobody will help you even if its midnight. However, test going out and coming in on your own as soon as possible, the numbers on the security access outside the gate are really faded and the night time is not the best time to guess what button is for which number. So testing it prepares you for when you return at night.
I loved the bathroom and toilet experience. The place was also very neat. The cleaners came in to clean every morning and I never felt like my things were not secure. When anything was faulty, they repaired very quickly, there were no gaps. It was perfect for my husband and I. However, the room we booked was too tight for too many suitcases. Basically it was like a small hotel room.

United KingdomThe room was rather rough around the edges and needs a little love. Traffic noise rather intrusive but that was to be expected given the location - I always carry earplugs anyway.
Quirky building, secure parking. Pleasant and helpful staff/owners. Room I was given had an en-suite when I was expecting shared facilities.

United KingdomThe switch on the wall for the bedroom light didn't work so the only way to turn on / off the light was by pulling a cord hanging from the light / fan but I couldn't reach the cord. When I mentioned this next day, a temporary cord was attached. There seemed to be a slight problem with the drain from the basin. On the last night the window catch in the bedroom wouldn't close and the bulb in the bathroom stopped working but these are both examples of things that could happen anywhere.
It was lovely to have my own bathroom which was a good size. The bedroom was perfect for one person. The television was the right size for the room and reception was good. It was good to be able to turn the television to face the desk or the bed. The bed was comfortable.

United KingdomI found it difficult to find the bed and breakfast as it has only a name and no door number. would of helped if they said next to number. to make it easier to find when using the Sat Nav and not knowing the area. There web site said there was breakfast for £5.00 but was not available.
I stayed in a room with both a double and single bed so had the choice in which to sleep. there was tea and coffee in the room but you had to go to the bathroom to fill the kittle. the bathroom was along the landing with a shower, wash basin and toilet that was shared by all on the landing.
