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.).

Australiabetter description of the common facilities that we were able to use. I wasn't sure whether there was a fridge to put our few picnic items, nor did I realise about the use of the breakfast room with hot water, cutlery, plates etc.. until we got there so it was hard to know whether we could prepare food. We got there very late.
Room was clean and spacious enough. Was great to have the use of the breakfast room outside of breakfast hours, but the description wasn't clear. instructions on how to get into the room were good and timely

GreeceThe smell in the room was a mix of toilet odor and sweat.. The bathroom smell was also uncomfortable, despite the ventilation that was running all night long, obstructing our sleep.. No TV in the room, not even a dustbin.. And all this at a price of 340€. That’s a shame.. Don’t book for more than 120€

LithuaniaWe stayed at multiple accommodations during our trip, and this was one of the most expensive. In our opinion, the value didn’t quite match the price—we expected a bit more for what we paid. There was no TV (disappointment for kid:), and room was very basic. But overall, we enjoyed our stay.
We loved staying here! The check-in process was simple and smooth. The location is convenient—right next to Route 1—making it easy to get around. We really liked the shared dining area, where we could heat up our food and make tea and coffee (free). The room was clean and comfortable, with a private bathroom. We didn't meet staff in the reception, we only met one staff member - lovely woman, who was preparing breakfast for guests who ordered it.

United StatesUpon booking, I was told I would hear from the property manager with check in instructions, 2 days prior to check in. I did not hear anything so I reached out the day before check in. I got no response. I reached out again the morning of check in - tried to call and no one answered. Finally received an email later that morning with the info. We had to leave our phones on airplane mode and could only check emails or make calls when WiFi was accessible - this is what made us stressed having not received the email with information when we were told we would. If you are not going to send the check in info two days prior then do not state that you will and please respond to emails or calls.
