Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United KingdomWe had a basic, cold breakfast; as it is out of town, it would be great if they offered a cooked breakfast,
Place is on a working farm, farmer allowed us to park our motorcycles in the barn (it was raining), so excellent security. We struggled to get a taxi into town so the farmer drove us in; him and his wife were really helpful and friendly. Everything inside is basic, but clean and homely. Its about 10mins walk into town, via some shortcuts.

GermanyAfter staying at other B&Bs nearby, we were surprised that only cold options were available for our breakfast. It was a tasty breakfast but it wouldn’t have set us up well for another day of hiking, had that been our plan. It might be possible to get a heartier breakfast by asking for it ahead of time, however.
A cosy, clean and comfortable B&B with very kind and accommodating hosts and good beds. The location is about a ten minute’s walk from the middle of Kenmare, which makes it quiet. The road there is fine to walk on. Cross the little footbridge to the left of the tourist information center instead of trying to walk on the main road. Our hosts kindly gave us a ride to the bus stop in the morning.

SwitzerlandRoom quite small, but 1st) we knew that before and 2nd) the more important things as bathroom infrastructure and mattress were very good.
Very friendly reception and tasty continental breakfast with wonderful fresh house made bread and fresh fruits, good coffee. First impression of room in the old house was misleading: Bed and shower were very good, and absolutetly no noise from outside. Thanks Margareth for the nice stay.
