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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

NetherlandsI am tall and the shower is really low and the tap too close to your legs which makes it a bit uncomfortable. One of the double beds needs a mattress change because it is not comfortable anymore. All over Europe happens the same: the covers are too short and there are nothing except under sheets; fortunately the house had extra wool, long covers to compensate. Can be nice to have some firm pillows and not only soft ones. The living room is not very comfy to watch tv or lay down but we were away most of the time. We cleaned the private parking place and the 3rd day one car parked there and we had to clean another one, we couldn't find the owner of the car and we left a letter to tell him about it. Could be useful to have some strings to mark off the limits or bigger signs to avoid it.
We (my wife and I) arrived late and we could not open the box but we called the owner and he helped us to get it. The owner was always behind the phone to answer all our questions. The house was clean and with all the appliances that you need. The heating system was perfect, the house was always warm and comfy. We used the wood stove and felt great. We could do the washing during the week. The surroundings are amazing to stroll around in the mountain, we really enjoyed walking every day. You can take skiing lessons also, use the funicular and there are many towns, museums, glacier 3000, etc. You must have all the winter gear for your car because the house is up in the mountain and you may need snow chains and covers. People in general are very kind. You have one restaurant a few blocks away with good food and always open. The shower had hot water and good pressure. There were also enough covers for the beds. The kitchen had more than you need to do your cooking! WiFi worked perfectly and we had Netflix as a plus. Take into account that you do not have groceries stores nearby, you must carry all the necessary with you to start. There was an awesome table with two chairs in the living room to play cards or board games that we enjoyed a lot. All in all, most of the things were perfect.

SwitzerlandThe kitchen was dirty and the plates and utensils used did not seem to be cleaned by the previous tenants. At the end it was a little disgusting to cook with the utensils without cleaning them first, so we decided to literally put everything in the dishwasher once before using, and cleaned all the cupboards. I think the cleaning service should look into this with every tenant change.
The chalet is very cozy and the distribution and rooms are as expected and good. It has everything that one needs and also has a beautiful view. Moreover, the beds were comfortable and the hot water was also uninterrupted (which in winter is very important).

SwitzerlandPerfect location close to trails, a charming and cosy little chalet, we were traveling with two little girls and for them it seemed like a little fairytale house...but with all the comfort and equipment needed. I definitely recommend this place to families with small children. The Chalet is not big but 5-6 can fit comfortably. The bathroom is also spacious for the size of the property, and everything was super clean and well kept. Thank you!

SwedenOne basically needs a car. There is a bus to Moleson village but it is quite a steep hike up to the chalet and there i no shop in Moleson village either. You also have to take with you all garbage for disposal. There are 2 flights of stairs to get to the chalet so aa certain amount of physical fitness is required. Note that you need to leave a tourist fee per person and day in cash at the end of the stay, if you book via booking. com. The beds in the 2 smaller bedrooms were on the short side (if you are over 180cm that is).
Very quiet and peaceful surroundings with very sporadic traffic noise - only the calming sound of cowbells in the evenings. well equipped kitchen and ample storing space in bedrooms and shared rooms. Balcony with great views, several hiking routes within a few hundred metres walk. All instructions come i French, but it is easy to contact the owner for help i case google translate doesn‘t work out.

GermanyThe chalet was very damp, lots of cobwebs, dusty and we had animal hair on our pillowcases. It felt like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The chalet is lovely but is in desperate need of a freshen up.
Location is perfect and good water pressure in the shower.

United StatesThe extreme cold spell made it very risky for a California couple in their 70s to drive into the snowy, icy mountains, and climb the icy stairs to the chalet, but the owner was relentless and charged us for the whole weekend anyway, including cleaning fees.
