Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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’re 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 like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaThe room on booking.com says it has private bathroom, but it doesn’t. There’s only one bathroom for all rooms, and the shower doesn’t support the many people using it. I went to have a shower after 3 people and the shower was oscillating from burning hot to ice cold, so I needed to use the seconds between the changes, which made my shower 3 times longer.
The property is cute and easy to park. It’s a short drive to city center. The room was clean, the staff extremely friendly with great energy.

ItalyThe description of the room should be improved: I've found it and booked it searching for a room with "Private bathroom" on Booking.com. But it turns out the bathroom was actually shared with all the other rooms. Granted, the room description actually specified both "Private bathroom" and "Shared toilet", so, my bad for not noticing earlier the "Shared toilet" part. Still, I'd suggest the owners to fix the description removing the "Private bathroom" part, which is not correct, to avoid any misunderstandings with future guests.
The host was very kind and attentive. She even offered to prepare us something to eat in the morning, although our rate did not have breakfast included. Thanks! :-D

United KingdomIt was about a 20 minute walk from town, but it suited us because we were on motorbikes and Mary allowed us to lock them in the back yard.
This place is from another time, if you don’t mind a few cobwebs on the lights, dogs and chickens this is the place for you. Mary is fantastic and will bend over backwards to make your stay comfortable. The accommodation is straight out of bed knobs and broomsticks with metal frame beds with big duvet covers and throws with large old wardrobes and display cupboard in all rooms. Massive breakfast with scones, cakes, cereal and a huge fry up.

United KingdomLots to put you off if you expect a hotel: creaking floorboards, old fashioned windows, no telly. Expect a few flushing attempts on the toilet😄
Want a unique experience? This is the place! No sugar coating, just a quirkiness that reflects the owner's personality. Absolutely great breakfast!!!

CanadaVery old house with narrow staircase, hauling our suitcases up and down really was a bit of a chore (smaller suitcases needed). Needed the space heater to take out the damp feel… I have RA so dampness is a factor. Not sure any of us liked the shared bathroom routine.
Mary was very helpful and bubbly. Beds were clean and comfortable. Location was great. Breakfast was lovely… thank you so much.

United States of AmericaThe shower run hot and cold, literally, alternating every 12 to 13 seconds. I timed it so I can figure out when to step back.
Mary is a really welcoming host. The lavender on the pillows was a nice touch, and I appreciated the variety of choices of tea. We got there very late and was happy to found several restaurants still open just 3 blocks walking distance.
