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.).

IndiaThe location was outstanding. Our hosts Alasdair and Dreisdre were amazing. They took care of all the details and even the little stuff like each of our individual preferences for breakfast!! Alasdair even printed and gave us a detailed itinerary and map for places to visit including the "secret" ones that are not part of the tourist traffic! My wife Monika liked a beautiful artefact in their house and Dreisdre actually gifted it to her!! This goes beyond anything that we could imagine. Our twin boys Jai and Veer also loved the place and fell in love with Scotland. We will come there again and again.

ItalyThe Old Drynie House is such a charming mansion, with so attractive a view of the Moray Firth glittering beyond its perfectly cured lawn and its majestic trees, that it would constitute a worthy destination in its own right. The house is warm, welcoming, perfectly equipped, immaculate. Deirdre and Alasdair were kind, friendly, thoughtful hosts. They gave us plenty of helpful advice and made us feel at home. It was a privilege to meet them.

SwitzerlandNothing to mention here. We appreciated all of it, everything was perfect.
Let me first mention our hosts, Deirdre and Alasdair: they do so much more than one would expect to be done for strangers like us! Starting with this amazingly good and abundant breakfast prepared and wonderfully served by Deirdre, moving to the detailed and very helpful information we got from Alasdair on what to visit in the region, continuing with the help to book restaurants, and I could continue for another hour. The rooms were very nice, the bathroom obviously recently renovated and the beds very comfortable. Definitely a 10 out of 10!

CanadaNothing! The only challenge was the single road that takes us to the house. Easy when you're alone, and a bit challenging when you meet other cars.
The family suite was very large and made us all feel home. The bathroom was also very large and modern. Tea, snacks and water were provided daily as well as a "Just in case box" that proved to be useful. Breakfast was incredible! Very generous portions of high quality food and fresh fruits were served in a beautiful room by our host Deirdre. Alistair was extremely funny and gave us great pointers every morning regarding the attractions to see and roads to take. Our 3 night stay was perfect. There were clear signs to tell us where to go as soon as we got off the highway.
