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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomIn terms of the beds, they are super, super hard, HOWEVER, hard beds are the norm in China, even '5star' hotels are solid compared to European tastes. As a traveler with disabilities, I found it difficult however the owner happily gave me an extra duvet to fold under myself for extra softness. We will return to this hotel at some point and I intend to have a travel inflatable mattress to add to the bed with me. These things can be bought pretty cheap these days and won't add much to your luggage!
The owners/ the parents of the owner, who run the hotel could not be friendlier, more helpful or the mum a better cook!!! Chose this hotel based on the comments about the food, knowing my husband would be in 7th heaven. We were not disappointed! Do not expect high-end luxury rooms and bathrooms, it is what it is, but, it is everything thing you need, clean and an insanely good price for that. Come for the warm family, friendly, welcoming atmosphere, and the best of Chinese hospitality you can get at any price!!! Loved our stay.

NorwayIf the beds would have a name, it would be Dwayne Johnson. To be completely honest, we didn't enjoy waking up in the middle of the night because of the unusual hard beds, while laying with our eyes closed for a couple of hours before the hardness of the beds wasn't enough to keep us awake anymore. Even after walking the wall for an entire day, we only got six hours of sleep. Maybe others are more used to these kind of beds. I don't know. To compare them to something relatable: it's like sleeping on the floor with two carpets or something like that. I feel bad for saying it, since everything else was so incredibly nice, but it did unfortunately impact our overall experience.
The hosts are very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. We basicly had a personal driver for the entire stay (2 nights). They also made dinner and breakfast whenever we wanted to eat (for a reasonable price of course). And they answer very quick. And helped us to order tickets when we were leaving. In a positive way, it feels quite similar to living with your grandparents (depending on how your grandparents are of course).

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have some tea in the room, the bed was very hard and the shower wasn't very good, BUT I had an amazing time anyway!!
The host's Father was AMAZING. Despite my awful / non existent Chinese, he was very patient, kind and enthusiastic about his country. He ended up turning into our own personal driver and pretty much planned my days for me, including food! Very lovely family and experience.

Hong KongIt was all good.
The hosts were super hospitable, warm and friendly. The owner came to Beijing Airport to pick me up and brought me safely to their home. It felt like a homestay with home cooked breakfast. The breakfast was sumptuous, and had this very homestyle feel. The location is just six minutes away from the Gubei Watertown and Simatai Great Wall. I wanted to see the Great Wall at night so I chose to stay here. The owner drove me to Gubei Watertown and back to the hotel so transportation was fine and good. Wifi was fine and the bed was huge. Again, the owners were so kind and friendly. I felt like a VIP.

FranceLocation is not correct, it’s not in Gubei city so you can’t be independent. But for a fee they can drive you anywhere. Don’t hesitate to ask for fees before asking for drives and meals.
