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.).

Francefor those who want clean accommodation to avoid sleeping in the sweat of the previous guest it is unacceptable room3 bedding impregnated with a horrible smell I tried to communicate by explaining my dissatisfaction here is the response "Hello, I am changing 8 bed covers duvet and 5 sheets up to date, so there is no sweat They are freshly washed I hope you have a good night in the room, which is the cheapest in Porsgrunn :)" I replied ". yes indeed the house is great but it's only the smell of the room and the cushions which smell of perspiration see the smell of the skin the smell of sebum the price is you who set it expensive or cheap that's not the question life is not just a question of money I chose your accommodation because the photos interest me the decor nothing to do with the price I don't look at it when the reservation I invite you to come and feel the cushions, I have not asked you for a refund but a gesture of kindness in thinking that you will come and change the pillows I am also. owner of 3 accommodations on Airbnb and reservation in Paris" the owner never came to meet us we had to sleep dressed in order to leave as quickly as possible because for us we come from Paris far away. I found it a shame of the from this person a small gesture would have been enough "sorry excuse me I will bring you more bed linen and pillow it's simple as an owner but he preferred to talk about money. I didn't want to post a negative comment but without positive action from the owner. the next day we saw that he was living in the guest rooms, he was pretending to be a client, no hello, extremely cold look, look from top to bottom, we met several times in the house without any exchange, nothing. is not possible to accept this, cleanliness comes first in this kind of business. I don't know if in the future this owner will do this again or not at your own risk.

NorwayI recently had the pleasure of staying in a beautiful house with warm and inviting bedrooms. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the overall coziness and comfort of the space. The house itself was stunning, with a charming exterior and well-maintained landscaping. As I entered, I was greeted by a spacious living room with plush couches and a fireplace, perfect for relaxing and unwinding after a long day. The decor was tasteful and added to the overall warmth of the house. The bedrooms were the highlight of my stay. Each one was thoughtfully decorated with soft, comfortable bedding and plenty of pillows. The rooms were also equipped with heaters, ensuring that even on the coldest nights, I was able to stay warm and cozy. I especially appreciated the attention to detail, such as extra blankets and a variety of lighting options, making it easy to create a comfortable and personalized atmosphere. The bathrooms were also well-maintained and had all the necessary amenities. The hot water was plentiful, and the towels were soft and fluffy. I also appreciated the little touches, like scented candles and fresh flowers, that added a touch of luxury to the experience. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything I needed to cook meals, and the dining area was perfect for enjoying them. I loved the large windows that let in plenty of natural light and offered a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Overall, my stay in this house was fantastic. The combination of a beautiful house and warm, inviting bedrooms made for a truly memorable experience. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a comfortable and cozy place to stay. Whether for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, this house is the perfect choice. I can't wait to come back and enjoy its charm again.

KosovoComfortable, warm and pleasant hotel. 10 points!!! Thank you so much for a wonderful week! The place is exactly as described, recommended. Short distance to shops and public transport. Nice professional host who deserves all credit, he really tries to help the guests! Fantastic massage chair that even has a heating function and a view of the pool area. Lovely plants and palm trees that create a pleasant atmosphere. Sauna that guests can use whenever it suits them, and bathe in the snow afterwards! The host also offers to fire it up if he is home. Otherwise, he was available in his part of the hotel, if needed. Very nice living room with large aquarium and TV with background lighting. Pleasant international guests. The very pleasant host also makes sure that it is clean and tidy and that the guests have a good time. Lovely organic eggs from the hens in the garden. Very good coffee and tea. Lovely fluffy cat, Pepsik, who was very cuddly and who was mostly outside all day, but came by to say hello and get some cuddles. Delicious aroma from various herbs and essential oils. This is a place where you find peace of mind. Would love to come again with the family!
