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.).

AustraliaWhilst the location was very close to the main shopping street and centre of town, the road below was constantly busy with loud cars. Hard to enjoy sitting on the balcony with the fumes and road noise. Pot plants on the balcony needed replacing, there's no coming back from dead. The shower curtain made the shower space tiny and didn't work well anyway. We didn't have hot water one night at all and the towels provided were stained and ragged. There was a pile of rubbish sitting in the hotel entrance the whole time we stayed, it blocked the door from opening wider than a single person. Maybe that was the purpose.
The most affordable room available near the centre of Taormina aside from the hostel. Access to a fridge in the hallway was handy. A nice view of the town.

SlovakiaThe room was clean, but it lacks some space or furniture where you can put your clothes in. Our bathroom was in the shared hall, but that was stated in the description so we expected that.
Beautiful views, close to the city center and great gelateria and one of a few grocery shops in Taormina nearby.

GreeceThe room is like photos but all colors are beige. These isn't closet or shelves to put clothes.
The endry process was easy. Private bath had hot water and is opposite to rooms door . The building located 2 roads above Messina Gate, in a higher level above the central road and it's balcony has a wonderful view of terraces and the hill of Greek theater. Supermarket, restaurants, street food, souvenir, Greek theater, bus station, all are 5 - 10 min distance. It has capsule coffee maker, water heater, fridge.

NetherlandsThere was no drinkable water provided. I would not mind if the B&B would cost extra money but there was drinking water provided with the service. Another problem was that Bathroom was connected through a common space/corridor. But the bathroom door(for room no. 1) did not have a functional locking system. What it means is anyone walking through the corridor could enter the bathroom while I was using it.
Location was close to the center and the space was clean. The B&B employee was reachable by phone.

PolandThere is a lot of mold in the bathroom, honestly, it's pretty bad. The description said there would be parking space in nearby streets, but there was nothing (not just occupied - all spots were reserved for locals), so we had to use a large parking lot 10-20 minutes away
Location is good, very close to the centre. The room was reasonably clean, if a bit bare bones.

IranIt’s less than basic and needs to get renovated and prepared as a guest house. There was not even a shelf in the room so that we can put our stuff on it. The shower was very tight. The bedding and towels were too tacky so even though they were washed, they didn’t feel clean.
The location was perfect. Easy walk to all the attractions. Our room had a tiny balcony with a nice view over the city.

GermanyIt's a bit loud because of the road on the front. The bathroom was dark and not so clean because of sharing with other people.
It's located very central, very simple room with shared bathroom. We had access to a little balcony. We appreciated the jalousie, it keeps the room dark.

United KingdomThe single room I was given wasn't quite the same as advertised. Nonetheless, it didn't bother me as I was just sleeping there for a night. However, travellers should be aware. The bed was not the most comfy as it's a spring mattress, a bit squeaky. The walls were so thin that I could hear next door guy f@#ting (no exaggeration)
5-15min walk to the main square where everything is happening! The host was relatively responsive to my query about check-in, but it takes a bit of Italian time, so I decided to call instead.

LatviaThere were no dishes available to use, if you wanted to eat/cook yourself something quickly. And the shower's water would rather quickly turn cold-ish after running for a bit.
Host was very responsive and helpful, rooms were clean - someone would come daily to clean the property -main area, bathrooms (my bathroom was outside the room). I like how there was complimentary coffee and muffins in the room - a nice welcoming touch. Location was amazing - a couple of min away from the central area - all the shops and restaurants. Small outside terrace with chairs.

HungaryThe terrace door of room number one opens onto a main street, so it is very loud during the day and all night because of the cars and motorbikes. Sleeping with earplugs is also difficult. A soundproof door would be important. The heating and hot water was problematic.
The staff is very kind and friendly. The accommodation is in the heart of the city center, every attraction is a few minutes' walk.
