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 reviewBova is a very special little village in the Aspromonte mountains. The houses are located like an eagle nest around the rock. This means, that there are only little streets and no cars around the B&B (park close to the police station, 3 minutes walk, but steps). The B&B is in an old house, but totally new renovated. From the little balcony/windows it is possible to see the ocean. There is also a little backyard garden for breakfast. It is very charming and if you want to dive into a romantic greek-calabrian mountain village, it is a perfect location. Nice hikes are also around. The contact was via WA, everything was smooth.

Verified reviewHad a lovely stay at Carmelo’s freshly renovated B&B La Ginestra. The top floor room has a double and a single bed and a French balcony with a beautiful view south of the lush, surrounding mountains and the ocean. The room has an ensuite bathroom and shower. Hot water came straight away and was abundant. The wifi was super fast and always worked perfectly. There is a backyard from which I had breakfast every morning. Absolutely peaceful and lovely to enjoy the sun and the birds chirping. There is a shared kitchenette on the bottom floor with a fridge, sink and two hot plates etc. Bova is a very particular, fascinating and beautiful town with Grecanic roots, perched on a hilltop at approx 850 m height. The road getting there is quite alright and never really too narrow not to be able to accommodate oncoming cars (two cars in width). The B&B itself is located a short walk down in to the town from where you can park your car. Within a 5-10 minute walk, you will find several lovely hikes in to the breathtaking and beautiful Aspromonte National Park (recommended: loop to Amendolea and back as well as the loop up to Montegrosso and back). Carmelo was truly a superb host and acted like my private concierge; checking in on me and suggesting incredibly good places to eat (shoutout to Coop San Leo) and even reserving for me! A beautiful experience with friendly interactions with locals and lovely nature memories! I’ll happily come back again when I need to recharge.
