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.).

United KingdomOnly issue was the shower was electric and I couldn't for the life of me get the heat correct, it was either too cold or too hot. That could just be me however.
Excellent value for money and really beautiful location. Room was spacious, comfy and clean. Sam was friendly and accommodating.

Excellent drying room, comfortable beds, fantastic kitchen facilities, clean, great shower. After finishing a long distance walk this was ideal. I'm usually somewhat critical but here I have met my match. One of the best bunkhouses I've stayed in...and there's been a lot

United StatesGreat and restful facility with ample parking. The host was very welcoming. We had the place to ourselves, so the kitchen and gathering room were a great place to relax. Good location in Fort William, especially for hiking Ben Nevis.

United KingdomGreat that it’s so close to the high street, only downside is it’s at the top of a pretty big steep hill (if you’re trying to drag a suitcase up it) and taxis are scarce, so be prepared for that. Obviously that’s not the fault of the accommodation! It’s just the only thing we wish had been different and would be useful for other people to know.
The person who greeted us was very welcoming. The rooms were absolutely spotless and felt so clean. We shared a twin room and the single beds had very comfortable mattresses. The bathroom had a great shower, and again, the bathroom was really clean. The place was peaceful and quiet so a good night’s sleep. Great views.

United StatesA warm, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The owner could not have been more helpful and attentive. It's clear he wants his guests to be well cared for and have a perfect stay. I am a digital nomad so wifi is very important to me and he offered options that made it easy to conduct my Zoom calls. It's very clean, modern/recently updated, has a GREAT view, a lovely terrace to enjoy, the kitchen is very well stocked which was welcoming since I don't have a car and it's a little walk to town. But the trade-off is that it's super peaceful, nestled on the hillside overlooking the loch, and feels very homey. I highly recommend this guesthouse. High attention to details so nothing is lacking. Lovely stay. Thank you!

We absolutely loved everything about this property. four of us stayed in two of the twin rooms and were pleasantly surprised by the modern interior. the kitchen, snug and drying room were all fantastic communal spaces and the outdoors seating area made for a spectacular viewing spot for our morning coffee over looking the loch. If I ever decide to climb Nevis again I will be sure to book this place to stay
