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 KingdomThat I booked us in on days where high tide happened when we mostly weren't there or we were asleep. That said, we spent a lovely afternoon on the deck with the cosy blankets, enjoying the view when the water came in.
Everything. Communication was friendly and clear, Ark was spotlessly clean, beautiful and unique location. Lovely welcome goodies saw us right for breakfast and more. The Ark is obviously small, but makes great use of what I assume are boat design techniques to save space. Excellent climate control was a bonus.

United KingdomWasn’t expecting angle of floor to be affected slightly by the tide being about but wasn’t an issue
Beautiful views, high standard utilities and features within, including built in speakers around bed, LED lights and an amazingly catered vegan breakfast. Really went above and beyond to make sure everything was a great experience. Great value for money.

Absolutely loved our mini break in this beautiful part of the world. The pod was cozy, spotlessly clean with everything really well thought out. Loved all the little extras esp the bottle of bubbles, thank you. We were also offered early check-in and late checkout with allowed us to enjoy our surroundings for longer.

The continental breakfast was great and also provided gluten free food as I have coeliac disease. Absolutely loved the location on the marina. There were so many places to visit. We enjoyed many beautiful walks and also had a mooch around Chichester. The cafe at the marina was great. Lovely staff.

United KingdomNothing - it was a perfect break.
Really special 2 night stay in the Samphire Pod - a first for us - and one we really enjoyed. Waking up early to see the sun rise was a real bonus. The pod was really well presented and very comfortable - perfect for a couple. Quality throughout and the marina staff were really friendly. Thanks to all for making it such a memorable stay.
