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 reviewEasy to wander into town for food and had what you need for a budget one night stop over
Room wasn't properly cleaned, bugs were stuck to most of the surfaces and the whole place is run down and not looked after, didn't feel particularly safe or clean for my stay but was fine for 1 night as a stop over, wouldn't recommend as sure there must be similary priced other ones that would be better!

Metal floor bathrooms are a bit gross, showers got the floor wet all around the toilet, so needed to wear shoes in the bathroom. Walls were quite thin and could hear babies crying in the night

Verified reviewBig carpark area.
Very rundown hotel. Shower leaked all over the floor and onto the carpet in the room. Made using the bathroom extremely difficult. Bed and pillows were next level uncomfortable and to top it off there were blood stains on the duvet. Partner had to go hunting for a mug, which was sorted by the lovely housekeeping staff who live onsite. Would like a refund!

Verified reviewDo not stay here if you are expecting a kitchen .. the photos show a complete kitchen you can cook in and say you can use it .. but you’ll be told at 7 pm after checking in at 1pm “ sorry forgot to tell you the kitchen is not for guests “ it’s private and for the owners .. the tv didn’t work and we tried everything , there is a kettle in your room and coffee / tea but no cups or spoons not even a glass for water .. AVOID
The fact that you advertise a kitchen , and we can use it and cook as per your own review in November 2024 .. but when we arrived we checked in , went and got groceries etc , came back to cook and were told it wasn’t usable .. even though there were people in there eating and cooking .. we payed $200 for a room that definitely said we could use the kitchen !! I was the. Told “ sorry I forgot to tell you at check in you can’t use the kitchen. “ .. the room had no bugs or cups or spoons , but had a kettle and coffee / tea ? I have an exact check in time but waited about 20 mins while some random went to find the receptionist who was cleaning the rooms ? I just feel like this was a chance booking for you guys renting rooms for $$ but they arnt what you advertise and we had to throw away so much food as we were going hiking for 2 days and booked you to use the kitchen and cook our food for the hike .. by the time you told us all shops were closed . Not fair
