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.).

Spotlessly clean, comfortable and welcoming surroundings, and attention to detail that would suppass a 5 star hotel. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious and served with true sincerity. We would not hesitate to recommend and will definitely be going back.

United KingdomAlthough the breakfast provided was delicious, we were a little disappointed that a full English breakfast was not offered. We were woken by other boarders during the early hours, but wasn’t an issue, although we could hear someone snoring!!
The guest house was spotless and very fresh and new. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. There was drinks and snacks available that the hosts trusted us to pay for later, all we had to do was write what we’d taken into a book. The room offered tea and coffee facilities with biscuits provided. The en-suite shower room was well stocked with shower gel, shampoo and conditioner and hand wash and hand lotion. Free Wi-Fi also available in the room. Breakfast was delicious with fruit, cereal, orange juice, tea and coffee and some cooked items were available.

You instantly warm to Jo and buzz on meeting them. So relaxed. Anything you needed was not a problem. Anything you wanted, just ask. Breakfast was good. It's better than a cooked breakfast, which we don't really do every day anyway. Very accommodating with my needs. Always stayed in hotels and was overwhelmed by the fact that in beaches you get more than a hotel. It's carefully thought out to meet people's needs and then some. Little things like facial cloth If you use makeup. Large shampoo / conditioner hand wash, etc. More milk portions, tea, etc, than you get in a hotel. Beautiful decor. Spotlessly clean. Absolutely spotless. I usually clean when I arrive in hotels. Didn't have to do anything that had never happened. They have drinks and snacks you can buy if you want to. Beautiful garden out back. So relaxed. It really had a warm aura to it We are coming back without a doubt. I know southend well. So you have buses. Trains get you about. The seafront is opposite, and lots going on up at the pier. Adventure island. High Street has all the shops you need. Chinese next door, which is excellent You go in as a stranger, and you really don't want to leave. This is more than a guest house. We usually stay in a hotel in southend, costing much much more. We won't be anymore. It was such a good holiday. Thank you to everyone who made that possible

United KingdomCan't think of anything we didn't like even though at first we felt disappointed that there was no English traditional breakfast, however we were more than satisfied with our egg Benedict, pastries and yogurt and the nice little touch of fruit at the start.
Even though we booked a back garden view room we found the room cosy and relaxing. Our son and his girlfriend had the room in front of ours with seaview and balcony and that was lovely but still me and hubby loved our room. Found the detail to the bathroom, liquid soap, shower gel and all other toiletries to be an added luxury as they were of a high standard. The breakfast was exceptional all items freshly made and very well presented.
