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.).

IsraelThe door lock is stiff and complicated to lock, we struggled with the lock quite a lot. We had only one toilet paper roll and ran out in the middle of the night without any place to restock, but when we asked the staff for more in the morning they were happy to supply.
The room was clean and comfortable. Very basic, but included all of the needed facilities. The staff is very lovely.

SingaporeMirror in the toilet was not in front of the sink but on the wall at the back of the sink, which is an awkward position. Just a minor gripe though, no major inconvenience.
Clean linen and room, sufficient furniture and room equipment. They even provided a coffee machine with two coffee capsules and tea bags. Sufficient available parking. Nice and comfortable beds and pillows. Easy self-service check in and check out with prompt and clear instructions.

United KingdomWalls were quite thin. Could hear talking and snoring from other guests. Breakfast starts at 8.15 which meant we were rushed on one day as we had a trip booked.
Location was lovely overlooking the river. Breakfast was plentiful.

United StatesA bit uncomfortable eating breakfast when seated right next to host working on his laptop and on the phone. Like much of Europe tight quarters in room when trying to lay out luggage.
On the river with lots of birds singing, innkeeper was friendly and humorous, older property with some rustic charm, decent continental plus breakfast, comfortable bed

United KingdomCoffee machine was broken (and only one pod each provided), breakfast is quite late (8:15-9:30) so had to skip it, fridge had been unplugged so couldn't keep supplies cool, car park quite tight if all lodges booked so need to park closely, water is only lukewarm, lock on lodge very very difficult to open and close (took multiple minutes each time as so stiff).
Good sized room in a convenient and quiet location just off the ring road. Nicely decorated with good views over the river - great for bird watching in summer.

United KingdomOur room felt like they had started doing it up and not finished it. The wardrobes had no hanging poles or shelves. This didn’t matter to us as only there one night. The room was lovely just odd with the wardrobes
The rooms had been nicely laid out and the beds were super comfortable. We used the shared kitchen area which was really good and had everything you needed.

United StatesThere are some minor maintenance issues and small touches that would go a long way if addressed. Flush button for the toilet was misaligned with the tank and stuck on the lid. Window latch was messed up. Door lock was non-intuitive but at least they provided an explanation for it. Would have preferred a conventional locking method. It would be nice to have a shelf or caddy in the shower for holding your toiletries. That could be as simple as a suction cup mounted one. Toilet paper roll holder was mounted directly above the heater which seemed like a potential fire hazard.
Breakfast was good with friendly staff. The river view was nice. Short drive into town. Many highland tours offer free pickup in Hella making it a convenient home base.
