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.).

JapanFor my personal preference the bed was a little soft and the covers a bit thin for winter, but I ended up sleeping well.
It was a very atmospheric place to stay but the bathroom was all updated, which made it very comfortable. Great breakfast and within walking distance of good food in downtown Baraboo.

United StatesThe central staircase was beautifully renovated and very spacious with one landing. However, they are stairs. The wife, like me, has legs originally engineered several decades ago and any stairs, no matter how beautiful, are still challenging.
Our hosts were provided an appreciated and brief history of the house. There are numerous family photos of the Ringling Family around the main floor. The historical qualities pf the house are maintained. However, there was a little AC unit in our room along with a bathroom that still had a period loyal medicine chest on one end and modern day, walk-in, remodeled shower on the other end. Not big enough to clean Jumbo, but plenty big to clean me.

Amazing history. very clean and very well kept. The owners were very friendly. I felt like I was living with one of the Ringling brothers. The rooms were kept just like the time period. Loved every minute of it. Oh and the breakfast was phenomenal! Even accommodated me for being gluten free. I would definitely stay here again!

United StatesI have gotten spoiled with my comfy sleep number adjustable bed. Nothing can compare. I thought the bed at Ringling was a bit too hard. I realize that due to the historical designation, the property cannot install central air. It was an unseasonably hot day when we stayed at Ringling. The air conditioner just could not evenly cool the room.
Julie was very accommodating with my food allergies. Her breakfast was very nice!
