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.).

Verified reviewThe hosts are super friendly and nice people. Explained everything and gave us a good advices where to go and which restaurant to visit. When I needed a pain relief tablet at the morning, they got it instantly. The location superb!
For 800 plus shekels in the middle of the week we expected get more value for money - for example why a strange hole in the middle of the wall? shaky and old furniture? Not good for 100$ a day, very bad for 200+$...
Dear Semion, Thank you for taking the time to write. You are right about the small hole in the wall, which was closed in a temporary and not aesthetic way. Old buildings require maintenance and we pride ourself on the way we maintain the house. In this case we had fixed an issue there before your arrival, but hadn't yet restored the permanent covering. Regarding the shaky furniture we are not sure what you are referring to. Yes, some of the furniture (although not the beds!) is old, but all the items have been restored and renovated as necessary. We checked your room afterwards and did not notice anything that was shaky. We aim to provide all our guests positive experiences and will continue to do our best to provide excellent value for money as well. Thanks, The Templer Inn

Verified reviewThe hosts were very helpful. They let us check in early. The building is a restored house from the Templers who lived in Jerusalem in the 19th century. The room we stayed in was in two parts, with a living room-kitchenette and bedroom divided by a few stair. It was peaceful and comfortable. We loved the outside grounds and perhaps the best part of the experience was eating the tasty breakfast outside under lovely trees. The property is a 25 minute, interesting walk to the Old City, and right in the middle of the German Colony's winding alleys, an amazing park along the old railway line and with many shops and cafes.
The pillows weren't that comfortable. (I should have asked for a different one)

Verified reviewWonderful hospitality, lovely surroundings. We stayed at the Templer Inn for five days in June. There are only four rooms, really small apartments, in this Inn. The rooms were immaculate, with modern bathrooms and well appointed kitchenettes. Alon and Reveah, our hosts were wonderful, pointing out local attractions and helping us out with transportation details. They served a lovely Israeli breakfast in the courtyard each morning and graciously accommodated my vegan preferences. They really went out of their way to help with anything we needed, including cleaning my white pants after I had sat on something, well, colorful. The Inn is a historic building in the German quarter and Alon proudly showed off all its history, as it has been in his family for generations. Walking distance to restaurants, bus stops and local shops.
It was perfect.
