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.).

Just got back from a fabulous few days in York. We spent 2 nights at the old potting shed, and it was fabulous. Room and facilities were spotless. The bed was huge and very comfy! Breakfast was bought to us at a time of our choice. It was a lovely continental breakfast with cereals and croissants, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Fabulous stay, we will be back. Lisa & Jamie

United KingdomWhat a beautiful property nestled in a perfect location just a short journey from the centre of York! We had a fabulous stay in The Old Potting Shed. The facilities were absolutely spotless and the hosts made lots of lovely extra touches to make it special. The breakfast hamper and robes were a lovely addition. Very easy to get an Uber in and out of the centre. We will certainly stay again! Fantastic value for money.

United KingdomThe only item that could do with improvement is a light over the steps now that it gets dark early - otherwise all else was good.
Breakfast better than expected and arrived on time and really good food. Hosts friendly and helpful re local eateries. Accomodation was immaculate and everything worked as it should - one of the best b&bs' we have stayed in.

United KingdomLocation is absolutely perfect if you’re wanting to explore York as it’s a 15 min drive to the centre and also right round the corner from the designer outlet if you like shopping. However, it’s also perfectly tucked away in the lovely village of Naburn which is surrounded by lots of greenery! Perfect for either relaxing or exploring. Breakfast was lovely as the lovely couple bring it you in a basket at your preferred time. Bed was super comfy and bath was lovely
