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.).

New ZealandThe residents golden lab who was very well behaved, liked to sleep outside our door, so we had to step around/over him, which wasn't ideal for someone who is anxious around large dogs.
Fabulous breakfast, very comfortable bed and nice size room. Rooms were spotlessly clean, and lovely beachy decor. Sharon was a wonderful hostess and gave us great suggestions on things to see and places to eat.

Sharon the host was amazing and very welcoming, made us feel right at home on arrival. Bay Lodge Guest House was spotless and the little extras went down very well. Tea, coffee, biscuits, shampoo, shower gel, body lotion, water etc. The list is endless. Breakfast was spot on, a great selection on the menu and plenty of it. It was very well cooked, tasted superb. It really set us up for the day.

United KingdomBecause the rooms in the top of the house are built into the roof & eaves, there's limited head height in places (but this is made clear at time of booking).
Still a delightful guest house on Eastbourne's sea front; an easy stroll to the pier, ice cream shops, and beach. In direct view of the sea front, close to the specific event location we were attending. Delicious traditional "Full English" breakfast and buffet of cereals, yoghurt, fruit. The room is still calm and quiet, and has a lovely view from the front - which is why we always stay here, and always try to book that room. Owners dog is placid and welcoming, and understands "no" and "go away" very well.

CanadaOur only minor grumble was the mirror lighting in the bathroom didn't work.
We stayed here for 2 days near the beginning of our holiday in England and we didn't want to leave. Sharon was the most gracious host. She was very welcoming, friendly, and helpful during our entire stay. The location is great for walking along the waterfront promenade in either direction and/or seeing the pier. It is a short driving distance to get to Beachy Head and we found it was well located to tour the surrounding areas. Our room was bright, spacious and well appointed with an atmosphere of peace and relaxation; and despite it overlooking the busy road, the traffic noise was minimal. The ensuite bathroom was a good size, and it was very clean and functional. Breakfast is served in a bright and airy room. It was delicious and hearty with a good selection of both hot and cold options. An added bonus for us was the ease of car parking behind the guest house - and on occasion when these 3 spots were occupied, free street parking was easy to find nearby. Sharon and her dog Teddy were a delight to meet and they made our stay at the Guest House great from beginning to end.

United KingdomThere is a dog that belongs to the lovely owners, who is very friendly, however I am allergic to dogs and would have preferred him not to have been around when I am in the shared dining room. I do appreciate that I am in the minority to feel this way.
Traveled with my mum so great that we both had our own double bed and in separate spaces which could be closed off if required.
