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 reviewBeds was comfortable. The cover was clean. Everything was very clean.
It was under construction. It looked abandoned from a distance. Once you entered it was okay.

Verified reviewClean, Comfortable and had the necessary amenities
The walls were very thin and we could hear our neighbor snoring all night. Only one bathroom for the whole floor. Bathroom was TINY, the sink was literally in your lap when sitting on the toilet. Also nowhere to set or hang your things in the shower. And the shower door was almost impossible to close/open.

Verified reviewEasy check-in. We had outside access to our room, which was handy to bring in the luggage. Kitchen was well equipped. Room was relatively small, but it was fine for one night. Sink in room was convenient.
Outside door was very hard to shut and thus very loud. Not much seating in the kitchen. No indoor access to kitchen from our room.

Verified reviewGreat location, easy parking, loved the beautiful walking path/park right along the water nearby. Kitchen worked great. Easy self check in.
Small room which I did expect from the photos. The curtain was the worst of all our accommodations and let in too much light.

Verified reviewCute location by the harbor. Comfy beds and clean kitchen and bathrooms. Host was very quick to come by when we couldn’t figure out how to use the stove. Owner has put a lot of thought into extra touches such as flowers in pots out front.
I don’t like that we had to go outside to get to our room. It wasn’t bad, but could be a pain if raining.

It feels a bit like a hostel but is not advertised as a hostel.

Verified reviewKitchen and lounge were clean and comfortable. Also it was located right across from the harbor and several restaurants.
I thought it was very expensive for what I got (a basic room with shared bathroom and no breakfast). Other reviews mentioned there weren’t enough bathrooms and I agree with that.

This is silly, but a little real milk for coffee would wonderful, rather than powdered creamer. We were upstairs, maybe that is why.
