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 KingdomBathroom a little smaller but easier to deal with it.
The place is very charming and John was a nice host, giving advice, making pleasant conversation and very helpful. Room was cosy and very bright, nice shower and very comfy bed. Very easy for parking and with bus stop just front of the house. Breakfast was delicious with lots of continental choices and hot food on order :)

AustraliaListing states garden but when I asked about using it, was told insurance did not allow it, so we were confined to our bedroom. Most B and B we have stayed at had a communal sitting area. Bathroom, extremely tiny and water pressure very low. Shower very tiny.
Property is on a main road and our room was right at the front of the house but it was very quiet and had a great sleep. Breakfast was amazing. The host, john was a wonderful, funny host. We walked to town both days and left our car at the house

GermanyWe had a great stay at Sandilands House. John is a quirky host and his wife is just wonderful. Breakfast was very good, we were allowed to leave our luggage on check out day at a designated luggage spot as our flight left quite late. The room we stayed in was cozy and for our two nights‘ stay all we needed. City center is a quick 25mins walk or 7mins by bus, bus stop is right in front of the house.

SpainA great B&B at a convenient walking distance (25 minutes) to the city centre. Good and easy bus connections. Magnificent breakfast, cooked to order, with good variety and high quality in the ingredients. They even accommodated some gluten-free options as requested in advance. Nice coffee and selection of teas. An exceptionally friendly host who also speaks some Portuguese, Spanish and Italian. Very comfortable bed and nice room. Parking (free) on the premises with places well marked. Super close to beautiful Dean Village.

My husband and I stayed here as part of our 10th wedding anniversary holiday. We loved our stay. The room actually looks better in person than in the pictures. It was neat and felt like home. Breakfast was lovely. There were good options available. Our hosts were lovely and friendly. We spent a bit of time in the garden, though the weather was cold because it's such a lovely garden.The location is excellent with a bus stop just across the street from which you can catch a bus to the city centre. Staying here was a good choice and we will definitely be back.
