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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

It was so nice to feel Susan’s warm welcome. We could tell she takes great care of her rental, with the thoughtful touches. We had a relaxing stay on the hills of Vista and it felt like a getaway with the lush nature around. Thank you Susan!

United StatesSusan is the type of host one should aspire to be! Warm, welcoming and thoughtful to say the least. From the fresh picked fruit that awaits your arrival to complimentary coffee and tea. She has thought of all the details to make your stay exceptional. She also provided several different menus from the restaurants in town as well as sightseeing destinations. I'm so glad we chose to stay at Castelgate vs a commercial hotel! The grounds are beautiful! Nestled in the hills, it was the tranquility we needed! We heard several different birds in the morning, saw gorgeous butterflies and heard the coyotes at night. We enjoyed the most beautiful sunsets in the evening. So serene and relaxing! The accommodations also included up to date features like Wi-Fi and every streaming app you can think of as well as direct TV. We were sad to leave and cannot wait to visit Susan's little slice of Heaven again!

SwedenThere wasn’t a possibility to contact the property by online chat via What’sUp. Could only contact the property via SMS or telephone call. Which is very expensive for us coming from Sweden and having to pay expensive international call & SMS fees.
Very friendly host who met us and handed the keys and showed around the apartment

United StatesTwo lawn chairs were placed in driveway for outdoor seating. Apartment is dated. Needs updating. Kitchen layout choppy. Tub needs replacing. Stove works but old. Far from grocery stores etc. Do not forget you are in someone’s house. Look at photos carefully. We booked and paid for 2 weeks. Left after 5 days.
