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.).

United StatesThe location is lovely, at the edge of Fort William. Very quiet, with beautiful views of the mountains. Although it's a half hour walk from the center of town, it is served very well by public transportation, or one can take a short taxi ride. The hosts were responsive and offered a small refund for the inconvenience of broken Internet.

United StatesIt would’ve been nice to get the key code earlier; we didn’t receive it until an hour before check-in, and we had no luck contacting the host, so I was a bit nervous that we’d missed an email and wouldn’t be able to get in.
The room was quite comfortable and convenient for us.

IrelandThe mattress was old, lacked support and when lying on it had moving springs that was a distraction. The extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work and was dirty. Touch points; light switches and door edges were grubby. Car parking was a bit hit and miss with other guests not adhering to the wall markings to position their cars; little consideration for other guests parking. Walls are a bit thin with not much noise insulation; embarrassing! Location too far from the town for a casual stroll at around 20 minute brisk walk down/up steep paths.
The location was end-of-road and away from other neighbors and was therefore quiet and peaceful. Plenty of storage space for luggage and stuff. White walls made it easy to spot cleanliness concerns. Washing up bowl and liquid supplied. Champagne flutes.

AustraliaApart from the microwave, there were no kitchen facilities, but we were expected to wash up dishes in a small plastic tub. This had to be filled up in the bathroom. We didn't ask for the room to be made up - we didn't need new towels or sheets, but this also meant that our breakfast porridge, milk, tea, coffee wasn't replaced. Our mistake, but the room rules need to be explained better.
A comfortable room with a microwave, plates and cutlery. Nice quiet location.

NetherlandsThere was a weird ticking noise in the wall that wouldn't stop. We could hear one neighbour snoring, and another singing in the shower (although beautifully). Showerpressure was low. There was breakfast in the room, but if you're not a fan of instant porridge, you had to bring something yourself. This place is mostly suitable for guests with a car.
On the one hand, the location is excellent. It's very close to the Cow Hill Trail and you can see Ben Nevis on a clear day. On the other hand, the town center is a 30+ minute walk away, and if you're here to climb Ben Nevis, this is the furthest away place you can stay at. The bed is very comfortable, the bedroom and bathroom are big. There's a table to sit at, and a fridge and a microwave. The room looked clean and new.
