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 KingdomNothing - all good - just room a little too warm - but we're used to 18 degrees C at home and no heating in bedroom and 4 tog duvet at home only even in winter! Personal choice - we know others like it much warmer than us - we could have "unbagged" the thick duvet but we were too tired to be bothered! I'm sure our host would have provided thinner duvet if we'd asked as she was so helpful - our fault for not asking!
Wonderful host - so helpful. Great place, so comfortable, clean, so many extra touches. Comfy bed, brilliant shower. Would stay again if need to travel to area. Thank you - great place.

This has to be one of the loveliest places I’ve ever stayed the guesthouse is beautiful, very clean you can tell how much the property is loved. Sue is the perfect host and makes you feel very welcome , giving advice on the best places to eat and where to visit. There is everything you could possibly want in your room from tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits , bottles of water in the mini fridge and the most comfortable bed ever. All toiletries in the bathroom, bathrobes and hairdryer. The guesthouse is central for pubs, restaurants and shops, there was also no issues with parking you could park right outside Breakfast was amazing so much choice and cooked to perfection Best of all was Pepe and Bear ( little dogs ) that greeted you with wagging tails to put a smile on your face at the start of every day I truly wish you all the luck on your new adventure Sue and I can’t wait to visit again Liz and Gordon

United KingdomNothing at all.
A really lovely and comfortable room in a beautiful period property in a very convenient part of Penrith. Sue, our host, was attentive, efficient and wonderful company at every stage, and prepared a varied and exceptional breakfast for us before our reluctant departure. The guesthouse was quite simply the best we have ever stayed in in all respects. Our every requirement was met, and the bedroom and all communal spaces were fitted with tasteful and appropriate decorations, carpets and pictures etc throughout. Effective wifi was provided and we would most definately stay with Sue again, who made our visit friendly, comfortable and fun in every way possible.
