Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 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...).

United KingdomHut was a long way from toilet facilities. No water or sink in the hut. Knew I had to take all bedding, crockery and cutlery but no point in having a hob at all. Cooking would be very difficult. In such a confined space why have a dozen cushions.. we couldnt sit down.
Shepherds hut was quite comfortable . Toilet block very clean.

JerseyWe had a horrible stay here. When I booked on the booking.com app I was careful to check the available rooms. I was a bit dubious as the rooms offered were: Family room with balcony, Family Studio, and Holiday Home. The Family room with balcony (photographs of a gypsy type caravan or a yurt) and the Family room (photographs of a Shepherd’s hut) are described as having shared bathrooms, so I was careful not to book these. The Holiday home is described as having ‘1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and a kitchenette’, so this sounded ideal. The photographs showed a glamping pod, and a yurt, and showed photographs of the private bathroom. So, I booked it. I was looking forward to something different and relaxing after a three-hour drive. We arrived to find we’d been allocated a Nissen Hut. There was no bathroom, and no separate bedroom. It was basically a Hut. The kitchenette consisted of a two ring hob. No sink. Nowhere to get water. No rubbish bin. No cups. Nothing. There was a coffee machine, but no water and nothing to drink the coffee with. Perhaps you are supposed to just put your hands or mouth under the coffee machine and hope you don’t get too badly scolded? So where was the bathroom that was advertised? Well, it’s a walk across a field in the cold and pouring rain! We also discovered that bedding is not provided. No mention of this at the time of booking. Luckily, we had a duvet and some sheets and pillows in the car. But if not, then who knows what we’d have done. Drinking water? We never found any. There were some taps outside, but these were labelled ‘NO GREY WASTE’. No idea what that is supposed to mean. No idea if this was drinking water, or perhaps this was the advertised bathroom? So, after a three-hour drive, we discovered that our 1 bedroomed, 1 bathroomed, 1 kitchenetted holiday home was not a holiday home at all.
We enjoyed leaving this place.

AustraliaPower was lost at the site for the day and it was pouring rain and very windy (windy enough that our ferry was cancelled). We received no communications about if/when the power would be turned back on or the offer of alternate accommodation or a refund, due to the services paid for were not provided. We and many guests were left cold, wet and in the dark. Their emergency management plan was not evident and the poor way the incident was managed put their customers at risk. I value my health and safety too much so have no intention of staying at this site again.
