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 KingdomTv was too small, owners stayed outside in front of the property so it made us cautious of what we do and the noise we make. We could hear them chat at 09:00 in the morning. Otherwise everything was great
It’s a beautiful space, well decorated. Nice comfortable bed and pillows. Worth every penny

United KingdomNo welcome when I arrived just a text message giving instructions of how to get in! In fact the only contact I had was a conversation with the owner who happened to be outside as I was leaving! The other disappointment was no cook breakfast! This was due to COVID, but just down the road Morrison's fulfilled that problem!
Good clean comfortable guest house within easy reach of the lovely Sandy beech, but also a short walk to the Metro station where you can get into Newcastle and Sunderland very easily!

MaltaRoom was a bit small with a tiny bathroom. We tried to contact the staff (through the app, via SMS and calling 2 different phone numbers) to ask if would be possible to leave the luggage there for a couple of hours after the check out, and nothing.
Clean rooms with comfy beds. Very well located.

United KingdomThe Only person I saw in the hotel was someone who lived there but was not part of the business! So I saw nothing of my hosts and I felt a bit like well here's a room stay in it! Just an ackowlegement that I was there would have been nice! The only other niggle was the tap in the bathroom had turn knobs on them which I found extremly difficult to turn on and off. I would have liked to see lever taps in this day and age!
I booked a single but was upgraded to a double, which was at the back of the house and was very quiet! The room was well funished with quality items and everything worked. The bed was extremly comfortable and I slept very well!

United KingdomWe were expecting breakfast as part of the price, and the bathroom was very small, winter duvet in bed during summer meant that we had an uncomfortably hot bed which often disturbed our sleep, had hoped for a bottle of water as part of bedroom extras, but these are small niggles as it was overall a lovely place to stay for a few nights.
Friendly staff and clean apartment, high standard of furnishings and amenities. Very pleased with room and general decor of the establishment.
