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 reviewWe stayed at a 2 bedroom apartment and we have access to our own small kitchenette. The bedrooms and toilet are clean. There is also a shared living room with a TV and kitchen in the building which was clean and spacious.

Verified reviewNice place in a nice town. Big kitchen with a lot of ammenities, nice covered terrace and living room.
We had some difficulties with the self-check in because the other guests had closed the front door from the inside. Only two bathrooms for several people. Tiny room. Some labels to identify your food and a "free stuff" box would have been great to have.

Verified reviewBeds were comfortable, kitchen was large
There was no parking; there were spots for maybe five cars when there were at least 12 rooms in the guesthouse. Furthermore, the parking spots were very unsafe; I saw a gentleman almost fall down the very steep embarkment when trying to leave his parking spot. We tried to park at the bottom of the guesthouse but a rude gentleman told us that was only for apartment parking. This information was not provided to us and we had no idea where to park. The alternate parking was rather far away down a hill. This was a very poor start to our stay.

The bad smell in the washroom. The water which came out from the shower smelled like the sewers.

Verified reviewWell located, very clean. We were lucky to be in one of the only two rooms occupied that night. When full it might be a while different experience (noise trrough thin walls, one shared bathroom…)

Verified reviewIf you are doing the loop backward and want a good head start, this place is perfect. Or if you are ending the day late and dont want to drive all the way back, it is very worth a night's break.

Nothing that we didnt like. However, would have wished for the opening hours of the shop to be longer - weren't able to visit as we were out all day every day from 8am to 6pm :( Also, extractor fans in kitchen were not working - sorry for the bacon smell!

Verified reviewThe kitchen/lounge area was very spacious and well equipped (photo attached).
There is no restaurant or grocery store within 15km of this guest house. We reached in late in the evening and we're at a loss about where to have dinner. Fortunately, we had some eggs and bread with us...or it might have been a long hungry night. The rooms were a little small compared to the other guest houses we stayed at on this trip. The management is rather unresponsive. They don't answer queries or requests for days together.
