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.).

Switzerlandeverything was great
We had a fantastic stay at Carnavon House! Lovely house and rooms and friendly staff :) Bathroom was clean and there were enough showers so we never had to wait. There is also a water dispenser and some cake and coffee :) We stayed for 2 nights and it‘s a great location to explore Georgetown. Communication and check-in were easy and they let us leave out luggage when we did an excursion which was highly appreciated! We‘ll come back when we‘re in Georgetown!

DenmarkThe wifi was a bit finicky, sometimes worked well and other times did not work at all. There is a mosque close to the building, and the early morning call to prayer woke us even through earplugs. Otherwise the building was quite quiet, especially for a heritage house.
Carnarvon house is so charming and thoughtfully put together. We loved the beautiful common area/courtyard. The staff was helpful and easy to communicate with. Everything was clean and comfortable. We loved that they offered same day laundry service. The location was perfectly walkable to most of Georgetown. They offered snacks, free water and coffee/tea, and stored our luggage for us.

IndiaThe photos shown on the website are not part of the place we stayed at. We stayed at 30 Carnarvon, while the photos were of 28 Carnarvon, the place just beside it. So it feels like the photos are misleading.
Size of the room. The property was clean.

United StatesAs a Westerner I found the rooms to be warm and the beds to be a little firm. However, I recognize that this is just based off of what I am used to and it didn't detract from my stay.
The water cooler was an amazing feature! The rooms were just as pictured. I appreciated all of the staff that I met as they were very friendly and helpful. Even with the common areas all the other guests were also respectful and quiet.
