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.).

AustraliaThe bathroom is downstairs and bedroom upstairs, I’m an elderly duck so a bit of a challenge at night.
Very cosy with plenty of space for three adults. Close to the station and all other interests. Host was easy to contact and got back quickly, very friendly. House was clean and had plenty of kitchen equipment.

SwitzerlandNot really something we did not like but important to know: the bedroom is on the upper floor, while the toilet is on the lower floor. If it's cold outside, the hallway and the stairs get cold, and you need to pass through them to reach the toilet.
The traditional style of the house is evocative and perfectly merges with the surroundings. The house is beautiful, comfortable, clean, and everything works well. The location is also very good and close to everything else in the city center. The host is amazingly kind and super responsive.

JapanI wish there was heating on the corridors, so it wasn't that cold when you walk from the kitchen/bathroom to the bedroom.
The room was very spacious, and the hosts were very welcoming, giving us gifts to fold origami with. The faculties were all new, and the overall house was very beautiful.

CanadaA little loud outside until the restaurant next door closes, but they thought to provide earplugs for that... Honestly the only downside to an otherwise perfect experience.
Amazing property, large, great price, great location, comfy beds, kotatsu table and every little detail thought through, the best stay during our trip to Japan by far.

Perfect location close to old Town, river and markets, yet not too far from station. Wonderful host. Beautiful restored Machiya with amazing attention to detail. Quiet area, yet not so quiet that you can talk freely in normal voice. Super comfy beds and top class tech.

AustraliaThe O2 tank took a huge amount of space, and thus it was tricky to find room for our 4 suitcases (because we weren't hauling them upstairs!)

IndiaThere was nothing to dislike.
The whole apartment is perfect and very nice. The host arranged every small thing very carefully. Very beautiful home. Everything is picture-perfect. There is a small kitchen and fridge which you can use. There is an O2 box also which looked fascinating. However, as my stay was very short, so I didn't have time to use it. A very large bedroom is on the 2nd floor. It has 1 double bed and 2 single beds, perfect for a family trip.

GermanyIt’s the tiniest thing but the corridors are not heated and get very cold in winter.
Much better than we ever expected. Recently renovated 2 floor house. Incredible space, with kotatsu, huge beds, very well equipped with tea sets, rice cooker, etc. The hosts were everything you’d hope for. Super friendly, and offered a number of small gifts. The value for money was among the best I’ve experienced. 100% stay here if it’s available.
