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 mattress was a hard mattress and I prefer a softer one which is my preference.
The facilities were clean and in order the wifi was good for being a free wifi, the location was a little out with of the city but not too excessively the only negative was the hard mattress not my ideal level of softness but other than that I would recommend and use again.

United KingdomDidn't like having to go somewhere else to collect my key and then carry on trundling along the road with my bags to another street in the rain and dark. No breakfast, not even the very basics on site, and no mini-fridge, so my tea had to have room-temperature UHT milk left sitting in the room. I was staying on my own for a funeral and had 1 day in Inverness between two 8 hour train journeys, arriving late and leaving very early for trains - with no food and no means to make or store my own.
Tidy and perfectly adequate basic clean facilities

The property is an easy walk from the train station and the city. It is on a quiet residential street. The room was very clean and the bathroom was modern, with a good shower. Check in was off site, but easy, and just over the main road.

Hong KongWe enjoyed our stay at Alban and Abbey house. Check in was done very smoothly through an agency located about 2mns walk from the house. The house is located about 10-15mns walk from the town center, but 10mns walk to Eden Court which was really nice place to enjoy live music during the 2 months festival “Under the canvas”. Our room (located in the old house) was very comfortable and quiet (we requested a quiet room and we got exactly what we asked for). We had a minor issue with toilet system (water dripping) but once notified it was fixed by the owner the next day, who was also very nice. Overall we had a great stay in Inverness at Alban and Abbey.
