Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SpainI would pay more attention a little bit to the cleaning, specially of the common spaces.
The small house has a very good kitchen with plenty of space to hang around it. The check in process is very smooth. You can use the washing machine if you need it, it is free. The rooms were small but for USD 50 a night for a triple room, it was and excellent quality/price ratio.

MyanmarRooms and bathrooms are a bit small, but you really just go there for sleeping anyway while you are out during the day in Nara!
This small guesthouse has a superb location in Nara, right in the heart of the charming Naramachi neighborhood. It’s literally a one-minute walk from the main commercial street and about 15 minutes from Nara Park. It’s so nice to be able to easily explore the traditional streets filled with restaurants, izakayas, museums, and shops. The area is very peaceful, with little to no car traffic, making for a truly relaxing stay. The kitchen is great, and it’s very convenient to leave bags under the stairs if needed. The main door is always open, so there's no hassle coming and going. Check-in was super easy: just grab your key from the counter, and leave it there again when checking out. The beds are comfy too, adding to the overall comfort of this lovely spot.

United StatesThe downside to this property was that there is no sound insulation between the rooms. I was in the room, closest to the front door, and heard people coming in and out at all hours of the day and night. The insulation between my room and the room behind mine was minimal, and I could hear Entire conversations through the walls.
You cannot beat the location of this property. It was easy to walk anywhere that you needed quickly and easily.

SwedenThe key to the room was very finicky. Took a while to get it working correctly. On top of that I think you should be able to eat in the room as the kitchen area was somewhat crowded most of the time by other guests.
Most things i took a liking to but the price and the location was the best.
