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.).

NetherlandsNothing, just wish we could've stayed here a bit longer:-)
We stayed here for 2 nights and absolutely loved it. Maree and Christine are lovely - they sincerely care about their B&B, their guests and everything they offer in the B&B. They are such professionals, along with a sincete personal touch! Breakfast is delicious and easily organised; you let them know the day in advance which of the options you'd like and they prepare it fresh every morning. Along with a buffet of tea/coffee/fruit/yoghurts/juices, everything is there. Shower is great, rooms are incredibly clean and everything you can think of is provided. Beds and duvets are very comfy, too. And, obviously, the location and views are perfect!! We have not seen a hotel or B&B with these high standards and this excellent value for money during our entire 2-week trip in Scotland. Thanks Maree and Christine!!

SwitzerlandFelt very welcome, got good tips on where to go to check out local castle ruins and had a delicious breakfast. Absolutely stunning view over the ocean. If you are very lucky you could see some whales. But even without that it is definitely worth to stay there.

United StatesGreat location, not hard to find - just follow the signs with the name of the B&B. Our room was perfect, we had an amazing view and the bed was really comfortable. You can order the breakfast at check in and they have plenty of options. The food was amazing ( cooked to order) and they had a great selection of cereal, yogurt, fruit etc. Maree was exceptional!!!! She gave us great recommendations for places to visit and she also told us where to grab dinner. There is a pub close by, The Village Inn, make sure you make a reservation!!!!!! I cannot stress this enough. We didn't know until Maree told us and got there early and ordered food to go. We had an amazing time and we cannot thank Maree enough for her hospitality! Highly recommended!

United KingdomA little more signage would be helpful, as an aid to check-in. As it wasn't obvious which door to use for reception and the bell push wasn't outside.
Location was good for us as we were travelling along the NC500 route and wanted a B&B near John O' Groats. Room was great with views of a ruined castle. Breakfast was good, had a wide choice of cereals, fruit and cooked ingredients.

FranceLovely house for a break while on the John O'groats trail (be warned that there's no easy access from the trail so you have to cut back at Keiss and follow the road). Had a great time resting on the bench outside with the sun and the view. Room was nice and comfy.
