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...).

I was expecting breakfast options as mentioned on your booking page (SZL 130). However, upon arrival, I found that the accommodation was more like a self-catering apartment where guests can cook for themselves. There was no breakfast option available.To avoid any confusion for future guests, I would appreciate it if you could update your booking page to clearly state what amenities and services are included.

Verified reviewThe place was clean and everything in order. Safe and secure.
When I paid in the place I was charged more , whereas I booked for a double room with private bathroom, for the price I was given a shared bathroom and paid more than it was advertised in booking.com. In the morning the hosts the make so much noise you cannot manage to sleep. It was a horrible experience I ain't going back there.
Thanks for feedback. However retrain from writing untruthful information online because it sends a wrong message to other clients. All our clients pay total reservation price so that was not going to be different with you. The host was sleeping at the cottage not in main accommodation so we don’t know what noise she made for you.

Verified reviewThe fees they charged me was above what was stated at Bookings.com. They claimed that it’s booking.com mistake. They wanted cash which necessitated to go to the bank to withdraw, a big inconvenience. They didn’t have change which resulting me paying even more. There was no working table or desk. The shower door was broken. I was allocated a room behind a garage. However, the place was very clean and the host was polite.

Verified reviewThe place is clean, the location is perfect. The hostess Tamar was friendly.
The Wi-Fi is very poor we couldn't even watch TV. The bathrooms had no handwash and no hand towels. No pedestals (Side Tables) in the rooms. Not enough chairs in the kitchen. Not enough hot water for all of us to bath/shower, some of us had to use cold water.
Hi Nkasela Thank you for staying with us and we really appreciate your feedback. Our internet network provider sometimes their signal is not the best. We normally contact them when it’s down most of the time we don’t have control. We normally keep towels on top of the bed then guests move them to bathroom as they wish. Also it’s would have be nice if you also given our friendly staff a score. But you did not so that’s has put your overall scoring to 4, which is really not great for our business.

Verified reviewI booked the property on Booking.com When I arrived they let me in only to say “I thought my boss would have declined the booking because we are fully booked for tonight. We were tired after an 8 hour road trip. Very disappointed
They were fully booked when we arrived.
