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.).

Stylish rooms and convenient location, only 5 minute walk to the bus station. Staff were friendly and helpful. Had the vegetarian breakfast which was huge.

CanadaThe rooms felt very cut off without a lobby and a desk for services but it didn’t affect the comfort or needs of our stay.
Everything was adequate and good. Bed was very comfortable and given the street location it was fairly quiet. Building was old and squeaky but that was not unexpected.

Costa RicaWhen the restaurant closes, they close the front door and it is difficult to open it. We tried and the key seemed like it was not working, somebody from across the street helped us and told us the door is old and we needed to push and try to open it with the key. After many tries we were finally able to open. It was very frustrating since it was late and it was cold.
There is a restaurant on the first floor so it was easy to go down for breakfast. The food was very good and the staff was very kind.

United KingdomA couple of the floorboards on the second floor were a bit squeaky and the noise travelled down to the first floor.
Excellent location just a few short minutes walk from the train station and centre of Inverness. The staff were so friendly. Breakfast was also delicious, catering for a fussy coeliac, vegetarian like myself.

United KingdomThe only small suggestions we’d make are to have a little fridge in the room so you can have fresh milk for the drinks instead of the little plastic uht pots, and it got very hot overnight, though it’s hard to please everyone with heat levels.
We were very impressed with the size and standard of the room at Blackfriars. Everything was of very high quality and we loved our stay there. The location is extremely convenient for public transport and Inverness centre, overall it was great value, very comfortable and we’d love to stay again.

United KingdomThere is no parking and we were asked to park our car at a nearby parking facility, ending up paying £8 extra per day. What is more the rooms are not well insulated from noise and we could hear every person moving around our room: in the corridor, upstairs and the cars on the street. The room doors could definitely get better insulation.
Very comfortable room and bed, we had a nice view from our window and everything felt very clean. We loved the bed and design touches! The property was very centrally located and we found it very easy to explore Inverness during our 2-day trip. Overall it was very good value for money!
