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 KingdomNo dislikes!!!
The Guest house & Room was very clean & tidy. The bed was so comfortable, best sleep I've had away from home. The Staff were so welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was the best we both have had anywhere we have stayed previously over the years. Porridge with Whiskey, honey and cream drizzled over was superb and something we have never had before. We both agree better than probably most of hotels we have stayed In, Definitely would stay again. 😁👍

ItalyThe rooms are in an typical restored townhouse, 20 mins on foot from the centre and a few steps away from the tram stop. Very well connected both with the centre and the coast. A lot of attention to detail has been put into the rooms deco. Our room was not very large, but had enough space for two people to be comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and big. The breakfast á la carte was the cherry on the cake (the porridge and the pancakes are heavenly!). Lovely and friendly staff, always up for a nice chat.

It was very clean, comfortable and great location.

United KingdomIf I had to say anything it would be that everything is at least a 20 min walk away, but as a young couple in our 20’s this wasn’t really a problem at all
Everything! The room while on the slightly smaller side it was so cozy!(and very clean)The shower/toilet however was huge!! & such friendly staff, especially Ollie, who made us feel like nothing was too much trouble and he was really personable with all the guests staying at the time not just us so it made for a really comfortable/family feel stay!! The breakfast in the morning was so nice and made for a nice Scottish experience (if you get the oats or the full Scottish) we where doing Arthur’s seat one morning and was full up for our hike and hours after haha, will be telling any friends/family heading up to Edinburgh to stay here as I will definitely be back if I’m ever up them ways again :)

SloveniaThere is nothing we did not like.
Our stay was amazing. The accommodation is close to the city centre (main attractions) and everyone was really nice and welcoming. The room has everything you need and it is very clean. The breakfast was very tasty. The hospitality was unreal, we even got a bag with food to go when we left for the airport as we had to leave before the breakfast started.

United KingdomCouple if hairs in the towels, and one at breakfast. However, staff response was great no issues swapping it out. Window didn't seem to open, so occasionally room felt a little stuffy.
Ideal location, handy for shops and tourist locations. Perfect for the Playhouse (5 min walk). Staff were lovely, including a courtesy call pre arriving. Breakfast was great, porridge with whisky and honey is a must try! Responsiveness from staff with any issues was also really good.
