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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

GermanyThe room was very badly decorated. It had great potential, was large and had many beds, but the furniture was overall old and damaged, and the lighting was bad. With new furniture and some pieces of decoration it would be perfect!

AustraliaThere is a musty smell possibly from the bathroom that came and went we dealt with it by opening the window The cleaning service to empty bins and supply clean towels didn’t come on two of the days but we managed.
Great location in Botofogo. Property secure with 2 outside locking doors. Room basic but spacious. It is just a basic room but this reflected in the price. Bed comfortable. A few reviews noted stained sheets but this appears to have been rectified as ours were fine.. Would recommend requesting room 107 as this one does have a window to outside. The breakfast down at the other hotel was excellent and staff there very friendly and helpful.

United StatesRooms are quite small with no natural light coming in. The sitting area pictured is in a common area. Hosts were unaccommodating when we asked for either a place to store our luggage after check out and before our flight, or for a one hour later check out time. Unfortunately in a busy and large city like Rio this sadly cut our vacation short.
HMG BNB is well located in Botofogo.

GermanyLow key definitely, old equipment, and felt very, very basic, not like on the photos. Also no window, probably we missed this info. Yes, stains on the bedsheets, but you can see they were washed. Kitchen lady snoring with her nose during all the time of the breakfast, made the experience quite disgusting - but it seems to be the culture here. Old oatmeal (from the smell), probably not too popular among guests. The rest of the breakfast was good, varied and complete (buffet).
Cheap and good location, no problems with the staff, not too dirty (I'm picky). Only the floor made my socks dirty. A lot of wifi networks all over the place to make sure we can connect to something (only social network use).

United KingdomUnfortunately I was made to pay nearly twice the price again for my room as I had my partner with me, even though I was able to pull up booking.com in front of the receptionist, and show that the room was the same price for 1 or 2 people. There are no extra sheets to wash etc and we didn't have breakfast. Would have enjoyed staying here if it wasn't for that. Trying to resolve through booking.com
Nice, clean place, breakfast looked okay but unfortunately my experience was ruined by being made to pay more due to having my partner with me.

United StatesWe primarily decided to book this place for the buffet.. and the early staff guy and another gentleman who said he didn't even work there wouldn't let us eat.. even though out booking said buffet included.. had to pick a fight with these two 3 of the four days... to the point we just gave up on it.. on top of it we got sick.. so some tea etc from that would have been amazing. Those two just made the struggle 10x worse.. so yeah they need to have two separate listings if they aren't allowing the second building to eat.. how TF are we supposed to know about that rule prior to booking?
Location was decent and the day staff/ cleaning staff were very kind !
