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.).

South AfricaThe shared kitchen is well organised and a very good idea, but it was not very clean: especially the oven.
It was close to the station, beach and restaurants. The seaview room was clean and comfortable and the staff were exceptionally helpfull and friendly.

United KingdomThere isn’t anything I disliked about being here, it’s a shame we didn’t get chance to meet Helen as she seemed so lovely and was very accommodating ☺️
Our stay was amazing! My friend and I booked for a girly night away, the room was beautiful, it had a very 1920s Charlston sort of feel to it, I found out that the owner (Helen) decorated it on her own which is amazing! The Commodore is located very close to the tourist part of Paignton where all the arcades/gift shops etc are but it’s not too close that you hear all the noise, only about 3-4 minutes walk to that part. During our stay there was a fair with lots of rides ready for the fireworks display the next night. There is lots to do e.g shopping, arcades, mini golf, cinema, pubs and cafes - if you’re in to fast food like chippy, I’d recommend Scoff’s!

We loved being able to use kitchen facilities to prepare any food, help ourselves to breakfast when we wanted and come and go as we liked. It was everything that we wanted. The king size bed was very comfortable and the room also included a large sofa plus table and chairs. The view from the window over the bay was lovely.

United KingdomI can’t think of anything!!
It’s at the quieter end of the Esplanade close to the harbour. As I can only take the dog to Fairy Cove it’s a short walk for my old dog! The room on ground floor, Isadora Duncan room, is fabulous decorated in a n Art Decco style which is gorgeous. Dining table in the bay window overlooking the sea it was amazing! Helen is so kind and helpful and the lovely cleaner was always checking if I needed anything. It was a fantastic stay.
