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.).

GermanyThe room is very cosy and homey and the owners clearly put a lot of thought into the setup. The attention to detail is absolutely lovely. Both the bedroom and the bathroom were very clean and come with all the necessary equipment (and more). Both checking in and checking out was completely self-managed and very easy. Thank you for a lovely stay at a great location!

United KingdomGetting in involves following a sequence of picture instructions, returning to home message to access the next message. As mobile internet was poor, it took me some time to get in. Once in everything was very good.
Clean private shower room and facilities. Very well equipped. Not just tea and coffee but croissants, biscuits etc, Also fridge, microwave, hair dryer, iron etc! Good communication, Convenient location in the jewellery quarter. Plenty of bars and food places and at least 2 good music venues nearby, The Jam house, I think this was Jules Hollands place. There was a good Latin jazz band on the night I stayed. Also theres the Actress and Bishop, which had an open mic night and DJ. Under a mile walk from New street station, so easily walkable with just hand luggage

United KingdomNot at all an issue with the host but this property is a short distance within the Birmingham LEZ, which means some cars who cross incur a daily charge of £8 on top of parking costs. It would be useful if the listing noted this as prior knowledge of the zone limits would have helped avoid the cost.
Great location for my needs, and good clear instructions on how to enter the room. A great power shower and a comfy bed, good sized en suite room with fantastic extras included eg. microwave, fridge, fan& heater, toiletries etc. My lovely host made herself known once I'd settled in and couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Very homely comfortable experience.
