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.).

FranceNothing related to the cottage or the hosts. But Booking.com does not clearly state that you'll have to pay directly the host...!
Great stay in this old fashioned BnB, confortable, well equiped. Different options for the breakfast, which was really good ! Hosts were very thoughtfull too.

IrelandWe weren't told if there was a sitting room or space that we could use other than the bedroom. Though, as our room was large enough it didn't impact us particularly.
Quaint building, beautiful flowers, well maintained garden, easy to access and come and go as we liked, helpful recommendations of local amenities, good hot shower, comfortable room, delicious breakfast

ItalyI'm not a dog person, so I wouldn't recommend to people who, like me, don't feel at ease having dogs around inside the house. Btw my wife and daughter love dogs instead, so they would def add that to the pros!
Good location, in the countryside right outside Galway. We rented a room with private bathroom for the night. The room is warm and generally comfortable. The owner and host of the cottage, who lives there, is a kind lady. She prepared an excellent breakfast in the kitchen and provided helpful information about the surroundings.

United StatesWish for the price it would have come with complimentary breakfast, even if it were just yogurt, cereal and fruit. Would have been nice to have some lights on upon our arrival too, but nothing too concerning, just made me hesitant that we weren't in the right place when arriving at dark.
Host was lovely, though we got to know their dogs more than them (which wasn't anything our group minded one bit!). Nothing was wrong with the stay but it didn't exceed expectations. I feel the price should have come with a complimentary breakfast, since the room wasn't anything too special. The host requested cash payment only but I did not know this until day of; she was flexible and accepted my card payment instead, which was nice. You can easily hear others in the house but luckily, noise levels were maintained throughout the evening/night. No complaints really, but nothing too special worth noting either. Their dogs were what stuck out the most, so be aware if you aren't a dog friendly person - it's not the place for you :) Free parking on site, which was great for us.
