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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The light in the ensuite bathroom by the mirror didn't go and the heater in the other bathroom didn't go. Easy fixes........
The location was great for us as we had a car, however, if you didn't have a car it would be a long walk to town. A very easy home to relax in.

- • Family with young children
- • Four-Bedroom House
- • Stayed 1 night
I slept in the bedroom off the garage, and my brother and wife in the ensuite. The carpet was only lying on the floor and did not appear to be laid as such. There was no facility to wet shave in the bathroom/laundry (not surprisingly but a bit inconvenient). I couldn't get a slider to the side of the section open to cool the house. The blind over the slider door at the front of the house was broken and could not be moved up or down. That slider was difficult to lock.
Generally the house and location was as expected and we enjoyed our short stay and would stay again.

There was nothing to grumble about.
We took our own breakfast. Location was very nice, scenery beautiful. There were 8 of us and the house was suited for that having 3 bathrooms and plenty of space in the kitchen, we are so pleased to have found such a well suited and clean house to stay in.

The upstairs toilet wasn't flushing properly so had to turn the tap off, although very fortunate to have two other bathrooms. A couple of light bulbs had blown.
The house was massive. Perfect for a group of people. Exceptionally clean. Awesome having sheets and towels provided and not having to clean the house. Absolutely value for money! We will definitely stay again. Thank you!

No electric blankets. we would have taken one if we had known. Beds need replacing. they were older basic beds and mattresses. garage bedroom would be better with a wall separating it from from the garage and also a wardrobe - somewhere to hang clothes. this room took all the heat from the heat pump as it had to be kept warm for people to sleep in it and it had no insulation. all guests pay the same price so need equal facilities.
sunny. a view, roomy, clean.
