How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

Verified reviewVery welcoming, with great communication from the host and very helpful throughout. Excellent location!
The bathroom was only separated by a glass wall, so it felt like we were sleeping next to the toilet.

The only area of improvement would be the beds. Not the most comfortable or convenient.

Verified reviewThe guesthouse was in a good location; convenient to a lot of sites and restaurants.
It's not that I didn't like it but it's a little different than a traditional hotel. There is no front desk, no staff on site to help but that doens't mean you're left to your own devices. There is a WhatsApp number you can use to contact someone. You get a code texted to you before you arrive that opens the front door and your room.All in all I liked it.
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the location and found everything clean and convenient. Our guesthouse works a bit differently from a traditional hotel, with a more independent check-in process. We aim to make it as smooth and straightforward as possible, and we're always just a message away if guests need anything. It was a pleasure to host you, and we hope to welcome you again in the future!

Verified reviewThe location was excellent – right in the city center, just a five-minute walk from the main square, shops, bars, and everything else. It made it very easy to explore the city and enjoy the nightlife.
The facilities were very basic – there wasn’t even a small fridge to keep a bottle of water cold. Also, the code for the building’s main entrance often didn’t work on the first try; I had to enter it at least three times each time, which was annoying.
Thank you for your feedback; we're really pleased you enjoyed the location and were able to make the most of the city's vibrant centre and nightlife! We also value your comments about the facilities. We hope to host you again.

Was charged full on May 14 for the May 17-21 stay. Have to contact them because I was not sent the info on checking in and was told it was in the spam folder. Checked my emails and it was not there only to have another email with modified booking. I expected to get the info on checking in when it was fully paid on May 14.

Verified reviewWe really liked the vacation - it was super central to a lot of the things that we wanted to do with minimal need to order a car to get around.
The room was A LOT smaller than we thought from the pictures we saw. It felt very cramped as with luggage, there are no designated places to store or place your items so we had to just live out of our suitcases which were always in the way. The coffee maker always overflowed and caused flooding. The doors that shut the windows wouldn't fully close.
