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.).

HungaryThe apartment was spotless, with a breathtaking view. The room was spacious, well-equipped, and very comfortable. We stayed in three different places during our trip to Crete, and this was by far the best of them.

United KingdomOur stay in the mountains of Crete was a peaceful and beautiful escape. The apartment was very spacious, incredibly clean, and so quiet, perfect for a relaxing getaway. They do not have air-conditioning, but there is no need, as the rooms are very cool. The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially watching the sunset from the taverna's terrace. The staff were also a highlight—Andreas was incredibly helpful and welcoming, always going out of their way to ensure our comfort. The swimming pool was a perfect oasis for enjoying the scenery. We were particularly impressed with the on-site taverna. The food was excellent, with delicious and authentic dishes that were clearly made with care. This place is a perfect choice for anyone looking to unwind in a serene mountain setting, with all the space, beauty, and hospitality you could wish for.

LithuaniaBeautiful view of the mountains, quiet place and very friendly atmosphere. The room was clean, the beds comfy. One thing I didn't like that there wasn't kettle in the room, so you can't make a coffee in the morning. Everything else was good. Swimming pool not very big, but enough to cool you down in the hot summer day.

NetherlandsThe view was very nice. The balcony is not completely private. The room was basic but good for value. The shower was not hot and handheld. The beds are comfortabel, but might not be for people above 1.75m. Friendly host. Nice to have a restaurant closeby that serves in low season.

The view from there and our balcony is fantastic over the valley and mountains and deserves the name Panorama. Would be a great base for walkers & hikers. Unfortunately it was too cold in October to use the pool !

United KingdomThere was a loud noise that was on and off all evening that kept me awake. Some kind of pump maybe - loud buzzing followed by a loud clunk. Over and over.
Rustic but clean and comfortable. Family run hotel with friendly and accommodating people. Absolutely stunning views. Delicious food - we had dinner and breakfast - both outstanding. A nice, clean little pool.

United KingdomUnfortunately the pool wasn't open and this wasn't clear when we booked (the pool was one of the reasons we picked this hotel). However, it was the beginning of the season, so we quite understand.
The room was spotless and the view from our balcony was fabulous. A couple of lovely hikes directly from the hotel. The taverna was open for tasty home cooked food.
