Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 fact that I only could stay for one night!!!.. the place was fully booked for the following days, so had to leave.
I had a very peaceful and comfortable stay at the Elegant Double Room. The couple and family including their lovely 2 kittens were elegant too. It was very clean, tidy and I felt as if am at home. I had a pleasant night to rest and sleep after a long journey during the day.

- • Couple
- • Double Room with Private Bathroom

There is a kettle with two mugs, but no tea, coffee, sugar or whitener, and no teaspoons. I know they said we could ask for anything we needed, but the room and private bathroom are on the second floor, and going down two flights of stairs can be off-putting. Plus, not everyone feels comfortable asking! Fatima's husband, who welcomed us, was perfectly amicable, but we still felt a little bit like intruders (when we book homestays, we are used to being offered a drink and spending a little time chatting with the host - this felt more like being in a hotel).
The room is very spacious and clean, with lots of storage space. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. We appreciated the curtain in the bathtub cum shower, as it ensures that water doesn't get splashed around. Plenty of shower gel and shampoo, too. Private parking space at the front of the property, which is located in a quiet new estate fairly close to the city centre. No instructions for check-in, as there is someone there to let you in.

It wasn't really a case of not liking anything but equipment for making tea and coffee would have made it a perfect plus stay instead of just perfect.
The room really was elegant and stylish plus it was very comfortable. The host, Fatima was delightful and gave me a very warm welcome and could not have been more helpful.

Nice room with a separate private bathroom next door. At the top of the building so there are flights of stairs to climb which wasn't a problem for us, but worth thinking about if mobility is an issue. Pleasant and helpful host.

The room is not suitable if you want to do any work on travels: there was no chair nor table. Also, the room is located on the third floor with a narrow staircase leading it to, so it is not suitable if you have a large suitcase or if you have mobility limitations.
Nice comfortable ensuite room in a friendly environment. It was not too far from bus stop, shops, and walking trails in the meadows. The bed was comfy and there was beasic equipment for making tea and coffee.

Some guidance on using the TV would have been helpful. Nothing else springs to mind.
Very comfortable room at the top of a modern townhouse with a sole-use bathroom adjacent. The whole house was spotlessly clean and the neighbourhood is very quiet. It's only a short walk into the centre of town.
