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.).

United StatesAbsolutely stunning and unique! I was able to stay in the Lincoln room. From what I gathered it was a treat! The bathroom was fantastic! Double shower head in a panoramic glass shower, luxury bathtub and separate sinks with plenty of cabinets. The toilet even had it’s own room. The ceilings had to be 15 feet or higher! Everything was clean with fresh towels and soaps available. There are historical pictures and ornate furniture. The owner is quite successful with all his degrees on the walls. The view was amazing with Spring in bloom and the grounds were very lovely. I was lucky to join the owner and other guests on Saturday for a delicious breakfast and gormet coffee made by the owner. There was a group from Germany traveling Route 66! There was a lovely older couple and friends. The wife gave me encouragement to get up and talk at my Grandmothers Celebration of Life. The owner even understood an accident I had. Thank you so much, would recommend for a special get away!

He worked around our travel plans and allowed for a late checkout. This was a very clean, quiet, relaxing spot to visit. Wonderful host with a beautiful home! We will be back very soon.

What an amazing location. The amount of time that has gone into curating their home is beyond words. It was the most relaxing and peaceful experience I’ve had staying away from home in a long time. Dan made our stay so incredible and I cannot say there was a single thing that could have been better, other than getting to meet Cal. The Saturday breakfast was amazing, and I want to recreate it!!!!

United StatesNot one thing was disappointing.
Heather and I wanted to express our sincere appreciation for the wonderful stay we had at the Exquisite Victorian. The experience was truly exceptional and exceeded our expectations in every way. The moment we stepped into the accommodation, we were captivated by the stunning furniture and the impressive artwork that adorned the walls. The attention to detail in the interior design was remarkable, creating an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication. Moreover, we were thoroughly impressed by the cleanliness of the place. It was evident that great care was taken to maintain a high standard of hygiene, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The Lincoln Room, where we stayed, was particularly inviting. The cozy ambiance and the comfort of the king-size bed provided us with the best sleep we have had in a long time. We truly appreciated the thoughtfulness and effort put into ensuring a comfortable and relaxing experience for your guests. Thank you once again for providing us with such a memorable stay. We are already looking forward to returning in the future. Your commitment to excellence is commendable, and we will not hesitate to recommend your beautiful place to our friends and family.

United StatesNothing.
The facility - as described in the listing - is "exquisite". But our experience was phenomenal - and will not be typical for others, as we were traveling to view the solar eclipse. Other guests were also en route to view the eclipse and had traveled from Spain and Canada. The host was exceedingly welcoming and facilitated an incredible cultural exchange of travel tales and ideas.
