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.).

IsraelUnbelievably gorgeous. Pictures do not do it justice. The service is next level. The staff goes above and beyond. Shout out to Kelly and the whole staff for arranging an incredible stay. The property is immaculate and so well located by the sea. The rooftop is gorgeous. Make sure to take a boat out and go to the beach club. Far surpassed all expectation. 11/10!

United KingdomSee comments above - because this is a genuinely boutique property some facilities were not present but from my experience the staff well and truly made up for it with an exceptional level of service that founds solutions to the absence of some facilities. Perhaps the one outstanding item: if it were possible to introduce a room for gym/ fitness purposes (may not be space for this).
The property is wonderfully charming, well maintained, stylish and intimate (it is truly boutique) - the small number of rooms and high quality of the property is what you are paying for. As it is very small it does not maintain a number of facilities that a hotel would have (e.g. no gym, no concierge, no business centre, there is no permanent doorman you ring to be let in) but I found the hotel and its management went out of its way to make up for absence of these things with open ended service: if they could make it happen they would! After my speaking with them they set up tailored arrangements for me including an English language whatsapp group "virtual concierge" to help me access Cartagena and its delights despite the fact I have zero Spanish language capacity (restaurant bookings for myself and friends, tours, tastings, even sorting postage stamps and dropping off post cards, nipping into town to scan an urgent document etc - these are real examples I can testify to). From my experience, Casa Don Sancho wanted every guest to have the perfect visit - and not a single member of staff forgets your name or ever fails to smile and make you feel safe, welcome and important. Rarely to I rate a property this high - well done to the team at Casa Don Sancho!

Previous beautiful colonial home which has been restored and decorated with excellent taste. Only 6 rooms so it feels like you live there. Several different seating areas made it a great place to chill after a day in town.

United StatesNothing, the Casa Don Sancho was perfect.
The Casa Don Sancho was a gorgeous, romantic stay in Cartagena. Tucked away on a quieter street right by the seawall, it has a perfect location for exploring Old Town Cartagena but away from any noise. The house itself is gorgeous, with luxurious rooms and unique touches. The breakfast was simple and delicious. We loved the view from the rooftop and the pool as well!

Staff was EXTREMELY attentive to all of our needs throughout our ENTIRE stay. They went above and beyond in all aspects of our trip from meal prep, to travel recommendations, to booking and planning our private boat tour, etc. They cleaned our room in the AM when we left for breakfast and turned it down at night when we left for dinner. Absolutely amazing stay that we will most definitely be booking again once back in Cartagena.

NetherlandsIt might have been on the expensive side, but we totally loved it and were happy to pay the rate.
We loved the hotel! Everything about it is right: location, interior design (amazing, so tastefully done, fitting so beautifully in the environment), and extremely nice staff. Also, the fact that there are only 6 rooms makes it a very intimate and cosy place. And we loved watching the sunrise and reading our books in the late afternoon on the rooftop.
