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 StatesI am quite auditory, what should be possible is to try that the air conditioner does not have such a loud sound during its operation.
Avanti is a thematic lodging, if you like cars and the history related to that brand, this is your place, anyway, the attention and comfort of being in the center of the city is quite nice because you have everything at hand.

United StatesDripping faucet in Rm. #4 bathroom. Bathroom rugs could stand an update. I think a smoke alarm might have been beeping to indicate low battery. No lights were on downstairs when we entered after dark, making it difficult to find our room.
My 16 yr. old son loved the car history and all the stuff to look at.

South AfricaUnfortunately you are sharing the space with other guests and you can't always control who those guests are... That being said, management is very quick to follow up on any issues or complaints!

We each had a granola bar the first night we came in as it was rather late. We didn't need the kitchen snacks but it was nice to know that it was available. It was very handy to have the little fridge and microwave available upstairs.

United StatesI did not like not introducing myself to other guests at the house during my stay but did not want to be rude.
Grab and go snacks were great and coffee and open kitchen concept was perfect for me. The location was great to town and college near by. Only downfall is a busy road with traffic but historical area was nice and road is wide and parking out back is a great fix. I will use it again the next time I need to stay the night. Thank you

IsraelWell...the place was a bit cold most of the time....I guess that it is the season but I did expect a bit more. I had a room with only a toilet so sharing a shower is a thing you should come prepared for.
The house is very unique and interesting. The entire well place is well taken care of, clean, tidy, comfortable, inviting and in addition has a snack giving out on a daily basis. Cassandra from staff is very helpful and kind. The place is super close to everything I needed (maximum of 14 min walk). Super interesting people coming over. AND last but not least - good value for money.

United StatesI think your coffee maker is clogged, as the water boils off before it hits the grounds. Also, the street light in front wasn't lit when I arrived at 10 p.m., just in case you want to let the city know.
I like the actual house , as it's older and I like the kitchen cabinets , along with the floors. I think the neighborhood is nice too. It's in the economically mature part of town, but the block the house is on is tidy .

United StatesNothing major, the house is a beautiful older house and is taken care of. But with older houses the floors do tend too creek in some places. (Like I said, nothing major and being more picky about that).
Beautiful old house and taken care of. Location to my class was only 1.5 miles away. Communications was easy. I enjoyed walking the house and reading history and the seeing collection in the house.
