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.).

SpainThis is a very welcoming and special place. Room was perfect, not cold at all. The house keepers have been incredibly gentle and warm. They gave us many tips to avoid spending much on transfers. They even lend me a jacket to enjoy the cool weather of the village, I really appreciate! View was incredible, perfect for a morning coffee with silence and fresh air. Thanks so much for your kindness 🙏

United StatesThey struggled a bit with the WIFI. Their modem didn't work for us, so we had to rely on our own data.
Anna and her family were great hosts. They have built several rooms onto their house, and the abundant breakfast is in the family dining room, so it is very much a family affair. Anna made sure we had everything we needed, including rain coats and umbrellas, and an extra blanket. The room we got had a great view of the town (be aware of monkeys if you leave the windows open. We found some of our stuff in the street. ) Everything worked perfectly and it was impeccably clean (but for the WIFI, see below), including a wonderful hot shower, that, believe it or not, we used! She got us a tuk-tuk in the morning, and gave us advice on what to do in the city and on restaurants. She was just great!

IndiaThe room was maintained well despite it was raining most of the time. The host provided warm jackets and bedsheets. Check-in and check-out were really quick. Local tuk-tuk drivers know this place really well. There is a shortcut that we can use to reach the town by walking. Overall value for money.

AustriaWe missed having a rack or some hooks to hang some clothes on.
Ann warmly welcomed us with tea and cake, which was very nice. The bedroom as well as the bathroom were spacious and clean. It is a bit away from the center but its only a 10 min walk down. Breakfast was good and inkluded fruits and sweet Sri Lankan pancakes.
