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 KingdomShower could have been better. I couldn't stop it dripping. In the end I worked out that if I laid the shower head on the shower tray, it would stop the sound of persistent drips .
Breakfast fab. Good quality, everything cooked perfectly. Hosts welcoming and helpful with great local knowledge. Chris a talented photographer with mounted photos that made superb souvenirs. Room comfortable and spotless. Location excellent.

United KingdomNothing could be better. Of course, price is always an issue but I think we were charged a fair price for the accomodation and services provided.
Excellent central position in the village with off road parking. The staff were very friendly, helpful, polite and professional. You could not find a better place. Staff also very knowledgeable about the area. The property is full of character and an excellent breakfast was served in a lovely breakfast room. Congratulations to the owners for running such an excellent business.

United KingdomIt was spot on for the two nights I needed whilst attending a course so there was nothing to dislike.
The warmest of welcomes set the scene. My room was beautifully clean and cosy, there are many thoughtful little touches, tasty breakfasts and a great, central but quiet location. (WiFi was available, I just didn't use it so cannot grade it!) I'd happily recommend and would like to return. Thank you to Julie and Chris.

United KingdomGarth Dderwen is a lovely Victorian house in Betws y coed. Everything is tidy and cared for and attention is paid to every small detail. Federica and I really enjoyed our stay there. Julie and Chris are great hosts and provided us with a lot of tips and information about walks, places to go for eating out and gave advice on alternative itineraries when the weather was not good. The special option on the Breakfast menu of the weekend was a lovely surprise that I have really appreciated. I do really hope to come back in the future.
