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.).

GermanyOne suggestion would be to provide instructions on the washing machine controls in the apartment.
Location was within easy walking distance to hiking trails and the water. Great to have the restaurant and bar on-site, best Sangria ever! We were upgraded to a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment which was an excellent surprise. On-site parking was super easy. Bar staff was fun.

United KingdomThe mattrasses were horribly uncomfortable - like sleeping on solid wood, very very firm. Other than that, no complaints.
Everything was clean, spacious and well equipped for a very reasonable price, albeit maybe a bit outdated. The location is a bit of a walk to the centre of Carvoeiro, but nice and quiet with a beach within 5mins walk.

United KingdomFreezing pool. Basic kitchen with 2 hob cooker. No breakfast bowls. Building work next door was far too loud and went on all day. We should have been warned and given the opportunity to cancel.

United StatesIt was raining during our stay and we struggled to find things to do. We ended up at a retail outlet which was ok and no fault of the property but, some indoor facilities may have helped.
It was safe, clean and quiet

ChinaWhen I went to the hotel, the wifi of the hotel was broken, so I could not check in. I waited for about half an hour, discussed with the front office staff whether I could check in first, and then asked the manager to agree. It would be better if you could help me check in earlier
The first room for me has a high staircase, it is inconvenient for us to carry suitcases, after communicating with the front desk staff, she changed us to a more comfortable room, thank you! This hotel was found on short notice and is very good value for money

Isle of ManUnfortunately our house had the drain for the Aircon unit dripping water from the centre of first floor balcony down onto our only outside sitting area splashing a wide area, and rendering it unusable. An installation error as the outlet could have been routed to one side. Nothing else to comment on.
Quiet location but easy walking distance to great beaches and small towns. Lovely bar and Restaurant on site with good quality food and reasonable prices. Outside the door parking, good road network to get further afield for days out.

PortugalThe restaurant was a separate entity and the breakfast a little pricey but food was freshly cooked and there was plenty of choice.
We were only there for one night but were upgraded from studio to villa and there would have been ample space and amenities for a family. The lighting was very effective, the grounds and pool nicely kept and we had a comfortable stay.

United StatesOn our evening check in reception failed to mention they had not had running water in the complex since the morning. We noticed when we went to the room. Then reception said they MAY have water the next day. Luckily it all worked out but not great communication.
We loved the location, tons of space ,and my favorite was the patio and view.
