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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. 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 States1. Low water pressure. The first morning, no water came out at all because of low water pressure. After communicating it to the staff, the water pressure issue was resolved. 2. The door locks must be changed. They did not make us feel safe. Lock looked like it was slightly detached from the frame. This must be changed.
The location was fine. It was pretty quiet; not far from the road. Breakfast and food was great. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and the bed was great!

CanadaA beautiful hotel nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking the hills of Freetown. Room was specious and clean. Had a short stay but would definitely recommend it as a great place to stay when visiting Freetown.

Sierra LeoneWell, it is obvious that there is nothing like perfection anywhere. So, in the case of Starford facility, I can only suggest efforts to ensure the water pressure in the bathroom is increased. Otherwise the hot/cold water system worked very well for me. The air conditioning is good. I was not too keen on cable news but the TV showed very clean pictures and the sound very audible.
Location of the facility is great and I was not deceived by what I read on Booking.com about the location of the facility. I was actually searching for a facility in that location. I very much liked it. The bed in my room was excellent. I can only compare it with beds I have slept on in other five star hotels. Honestly, I was late for breakfast because I had an early morning appointment. On my return however, one of the front hall staffer did everything to let me have a good break fast. In my short stay in Starford, I was able to learn about some historic areas in Sierra Leone as I found out from my conversation with the friendly staff that facility also runs a tour guide - I had very limited time to accept an offer from the management to take me to a Chimpanzee Sanctuary (Tacugama) about 20 minutes away from that Starford facility.

SwitzerlandBest hotel we stayed at in Sierra Leone. Great location, well equipped rooms with good AC. The best thing about the hotel though is the staff. The hotel manager was amazing. We had some problems with our PCR test prior to departure and she helped us out a great deal to fix it. We also had some very nice and interesting conversations with her and other members of staff. We can wholeheartedly recommend staying at Stafford Lodge!
