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 KingdomIt was slightly peculiar using the bathroom sink to wash up in but we got used to it. Also the paper plates were slightly strange (although I guess to help cut down on washing up required), but it would have been nice to have had proper crockery, even if it was plastic. There was no freezer either, which would have been nice to store some ice in.
The location was amazing - right on the edge of the desert with fantastic views and sunsets! We woke up on the first morning with two coyotes trotting past which was incredible. Lots of birds too, which we are especially interested in. There was even a resident dove's nest on the air conditioning unit with two chicks! The place was very comfortable and clean.

United StatesBumpy dirt road was a bit of a challenge, though being off the main road made for a private relaxing stay.
A most charming spacious apartment and desert garden. Quiet and cozy. Loved the turntable and vinyl selection and abundance of humming birds. And the moon and stars at night. Close to town and the park entrance. The host was gracious and generous with recommendations.

United StatesThe lighting was a bit dim, but it was adequate. And the dirt roads leading up to the house were pretty bumpy. Everything else was fine. There was even a good quality guitar that we played for a while.
The property is the last house on a quiet dead end road. It backed up to open space, with desert and mountain views. The yard had lots of places to sit or lounge and admire the desert gardens and views. The studio was spacious and comfortable.

United StatesStayed at this a cozy room in Joshua Tree and loved it. The decor was whimsical yet comfortable, and the view of the desert was fantastic. The room was well-furnished and check-in/out was a breeze. Having a BBQ was a nice touch. Overall, a great spot for a relaxing stay.

United StatesThe unit has a memory foam mattress in the bedroom and a fold-out couch in the living room. the memory foam mattress is really firm. and that's typical. but it didn't work for me. My friend slept on the couch and it was OK, just took some getting used to. NOTE: the roads in to the neighborhood are not paved or graded. Makes for a slow trip in and out even if you have an all wheel drive vehicle. I had to take it pretty slowly driving a 2023 Crosstrek. But I'm not accustomed to roads like that. The locals were buzzing in and out, no problem.
Location was a short drive to the National Park, about ten minutes. Beautiful, quiet location. We stayed in the 1BDR unit. Roomy. Well outfitted kitchen. Enjoyed the firepit at night when stargazing.

The beautiful hideaway was like a dream come true for me, with its unique musical theme. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by the soothing sounds of my favorite CDs playing in the background. The location was serene and peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The space was immaculately clean and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The views from the hideaway were breathtaking, adding to the already magical ambiance. As night fell, the stars above twinkled in perfect harmony with the music, creating a truly unforgettable experience.
