How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Mike's House is truly a gem. The home is meticulous, beautifully decorated, and perfectly located. The room was really lovely, cozy and comfortable. Our experience exceeded every expectation, and we can't wait to come back again soon.

Mike's House is great for our needs when we go to Jerusalem. Comfortable place to sleep, nice warm shower, a refrigerator for our food and several really nice places to sit and eat that food, a neighborhood where we can walk to some places or take a bus or taxi to other places, and a parking lot nearby!

On arrival being an elderly lady, but in good health and strength, found the stairs difficult to manage with a heavy case on my own. The hot water in the flask upstairs was not replaced so had to go down in the mornings and evenings.
The breakfast was minimal but adequate. Plenty of hot and cold drinks available. Enough fridges to store own food. The seating areas very comfortable. I loved The dead sea toiletries and nothing was too much trouble for Mike when I met him and on WhatsApp. Thank you Mike.

the communication with the owner was great. we entered from the back and didn't see there's a shared very equiped kitchen. we asked the owner on WhatsApp for some kitchen related things and they brought it straight to our room, didn't even mention we can just go and take.. so that was really nice. In the morning we saw there was a cute yard, the kids liked it. all in all, we a good stay :)

I couldn't get the TV working. Mike responded quickly to my request for help. He walked me through it but still no luck. The WIFI was strong enough so we happily watched a movie on our laptop. Mike said he would take care of it immediately. Just a recommendation: have a page printed with instructions as how to use the TV/Netflixs. Not everyone is familiar with how to work this media system.
Very pleased that there was a small personal refrigerator. Very quiet. Strong shower and clean bathroom. I liked the self service drinks fridge. You show tremendous trust when you leave a cup for payment. Means you trust that the drink will be paid for and that no one will take the cash that was paid! Kol Hakavod

Quiet neighborhood, tidy and clean inside and out. Immaculate. Available parking outside. Rooms are quiet, with a very comfortable bed and a clean bathroom. The curtains allow for sleeping in late. Mike is very friendly and knowledgeable.

We come back to Mike's House quite often when we visit Jerusalem and need a place to sleep because it provides the best value, i.e. a super clean room, comfortable bed, easy access, convenient location and parking, all at a competitive price. Furthermore, Mike is an amazing host. He goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and to ensure a pleasant stay.

There is nothing unpleasant about this hotel. Everything has been thoughtfully done and adapted to offer us the best experience. I love this concept and it should be more widely extended with genuine empathy and kindness for all guests.
It was fantastic. Mike is a wonderful person who takes care of everything. He manages the house perfectly, which is of unmatched charm and comfort in the area, and even in the world! I adore his perspective on things and his way of doing things, it's extremely pleasant and friendly. It feels like being in a small community.

Mike welcomed us graciously and helped carry our luggage to our room. We had a spacious, perfectly clean suite. The beds were ideal: firm and comfortable. I woke up feeling quite refreshed. Found free street parking right across the street from the entrance. In summary, better value than a hotel.

I came with more luggage than the usual solo-traveler. The room didn't have much room for my extra bags - but I knew that would be an issue going in so I expected it, so no complaints on my end. Just a heads up for those who come with lots of luggage.
Mike went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed. He even upgraded my room and arranged for my airport transport. The room and the entire home was super clean (and I have high standards!). Mike's check-in directions were very easy to follow and the entire experience was very easy and smooth. The location was perfect for me and Mike was very responsive to all my questions pre and post booking.
