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.).

United KingdomThe property was not clean, mould in the shower, not been hoovered for ages, stained bedsheets. was very unimpressed. The house itself was hard to find as it was mapped wrong on Google maps. We would have struggled even more if it was a dark. It was also really difficult to find the keys, figure out the right door etc.
It was a good location for us, free parking and a big space. good value.

United KingdomThe bed was not comfortable. Only had one flat pillow each and bed was not at all firm, you could feel springs in the mattress, it was also a small double. Probably wouldn't be too bad for one person but you could feel every movement of the other person, exacerbated by the fact we couldn't move further away from each other.
Great location for us (nearby friends and walking distance to town centre), off street parking available, very quiet, exceptionally clean, having kitchen area and equipment was perfect for us as breakfast places are always closed when we wake up.

GermanyThe bed is a little small for two people, but we managed it.
Our room was nicely arranged and very clean. I really liked the shower; good pressure and I could make it quite hot. The room itself and the bathroom is not so big, but met our expectation as the price was very fair. TV has a Netflix app and all inputs are reachable, so you can connect whatever you want. WiFi was also available and pretty good as the router was in the room. There is a small shop nearby that has everything we needed - soap, tp, frozen pizza... Getting the keys was no problem and we could get our 2-day covid test sent to the hotel location and received it without any problems.

United KingdomI did not like: - that the communication with the host was awful. I did not recieve any instructions on how to gain access to the property before arrival. No one met me there. When I tried to call, it rang out twice. I then finally got a text explaining how to enter after being stood outside in the rain for 15 mins. - the first room I was given was not actually the room I had booked and had clearly not been cleaned: The sheets smelled dirty and there were pubes in the bed. Bathroom and surfaces were also very dirty. - the 'correct' room I was given (after sending photos of pubes in the bed and poopy toilet to the host) was also very poorly cleaned, everything was dusty and grimy. The bathroom was filthy, there was faeces around the toilet and on the walls even. - the mattress quality was very old and poor. It was sunken and the springs were poking up. - I had to clean the surfaces, the toilet and the bathroom sink myself before I could feel comfortable using them. - the fact that the room had kitchen facilities but yet no utensils or cutlery. It was like a show kitchen. - the bed is facing opposite the washing machine. It felt like I was sleeping in a kitchen (which I basically was). - I slept very poorly because the noise from the fridge combined with the sunken pokey mattress kept me tossing and turning. - the fact that the host did nothing to try to reimburse me but kept blaming the cleaner. I only had a very little amount of toilet paper which I used up cleaning the toilet. I then had to rely on my pocket tissues. - the shower drained very poorly and had a foul smell coming from it - I did not get a refund. It was definitely not value for money and I think I should be reimbursed for giving the toilet the only cleaning it's had in a long while.
I liked the location and the standard of the workmanship
