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.).

United StatesThis is not guesthouse fault by any mean but there was some confused and disturbing guy who entered the kitchen as we were having coffee and our own breakfast at 5:30 am, opened the fridge and started yelling “who is eating my foods every day”. We were there for only a single night and were very surprised at that as we had our own food that we left in the fridge with our room number. We had No idea who was eating his food but he seemed convinced it was us eating his food for days even though we were there for 1 night.
The guesthouse is at unbeatable location in Borganes with clear instructions for check in and plenty of info for the area provided. Old house but very Clean and with everything needed. We had a 1 bride night stay in a tiny room but found it fine. Quiet. Great common spaces and good coffee. Amazing view. Would recommend and stay again.

Switzerlandwe were there in July, and it never really got dark at night. The curtains did not fully close. Apart from that everything was wonderful
stunning location, right by the fjord. There's a terrace and a couple of deck chairs outside, from where you can enjoy the beautiful view. It's very quiet with very little traffic. Dinner at the restaurant is excellent, and it's beautifully decorated with antique skiing equipment and household items. Highly recommended if you plan to do a road trip along the ring road. Check-in and check-out are extremely uncomplicated, they will simply deposit the key for you if you arrive late.

United KingdomThe room was very dark. One small roof window Was unaware of kitchen at all until following morning so we struggled to find a cup or glass to drink out of. There was just one shower and the toilet was in it for over a dozen people. I showed at the swimming baths and had to use the toilet at a cafe as just couldn’t get into it in the morning with so many people waiting
We could get in at 9pm. Had to travel after plane landed and it was late

United StatesThe windows could use light blocking shades. The curtains were not up to blocking out the June midnight sun.
Our room was thoughtfully laid out and decorated. The view was gorgeous. We strolled down the beach, and ate dinner on the back deck looking over the little cove. Yes, the floors are noisy, but all our fellow guests were polite and we had no noise issues even with a full house. We appreciated the in-room coffee maker.
