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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The bathroom showers stank. The bathroom doors didn’t have locks. There were no curtains in the room. The Studio room was advertised as a 4 bed when it’s actually a 3 bed. One of the beds in the gold room broke as soon as my friend lay down on it. There were no staff. There was no wifi code anywhere.
The facilities were great and the beds were comfortable enough.

I booked a family room ( double bed and 2 singles), and the room only had 3 single beds ( one bunk, 1 single). The springs in the bunk beds made the beds uncomfortable. The rude cleaner started banging doors elsewhere on the property soon after 8am. The telephone number for the property tang to voice-mail, and my messages via Booking.com were only responded to in the earl hours of the morning...and referred to calling the number that rang to voice-mail The extraction fan in the bathroom did not work
It was clean.

You get what you pay for. We stayed in the family room. Bed was not comfortable (could feel the springs from the mattress), only hand towels provided and not proper bath towels, and the room had broken curtains. Cleaning person busted into the room without knocking at 10 am. This is a hostel and not a hotel, please be aware.
Room and toilet very clean. Check-in was easy. Great location.

Could not contact customer service. Every time i call any numbers provided it go to automatic response. due to system error they charge me twice for the same stay and was unable to sort it out. In a room there was no ventilation and bunk beds felt as a coffin. Due to this i did not sleep almost at all and did not stay for full booking period.

We did not end up staying at this address as we turned up and the bed could not support any weight, it appeared as if it would fall over as soon as we touched it (a bunk bed). We called the number provided and no one answered, there was no staff we could see on site to assist and so we left to other accommodation and still haven't had a response from the out of hours whatsapp (3 days later).
