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, 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, 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 Kingdomparking was a little walk away if you have a few bags. but manageable. there was also coverage and WiFi issues but this was a great opportunity to also switch off, so maybe positive as well :)
the room was absolutely amazing. and looked just like the photos. also cannot fault the staff and welcome. so accommodating esp. when I had a random food aversion over breakfast. any issues they were ready to resolve. it is a great location to walk to most places.

The location was excellent- in the center of town and a 7 minute walk to the train station and beach. The Host restaurant had an excellent, healthy menu as well as beautiful cocktails. The staff was more than friendly and, as a guest, I felt like they cared about my travel experience.

United StatesCan’t say anything negative. All of our expectations were met.
Excellent location. We didn’t have a car, but Taxi company was just around the corner. Breakfast was fresh fruit, yogurt and juice. Simple. Staff was extremely helpful with advice, transportation, and reservations. Smart tv and good internet.

United StatesThe communication at the start was a tiny bit heavy and much had to do with parking which we did not need. We were surprised the first day by the breakfast. The reservation said it was included, but when we were up in the morning the restaurant was closed, so we went out for breakfast. When we came back, a breakfast cart was outside our door but we were still unclear when the breakfast was going to be delivered the following day.
The space was wonderful. The suites are very similar with the terrace suite having a bathtub in the room (rather than in a private bathroom space) and of course the addition of the terrace. The coffee/tea bar was very helpful and the milk with it was very generous and needed. Thank you. They brought us a lovely continental breakfast was healthy and nutritious. We particularly liked the fruit cups, the non-sugared yogurt, the flax seed granola, and the juices. The room was very clean and the location was unbeatable for a short stay in St. Ives. The AC worked beautifully and kept us cool and allowed us to close the windows to street noise. It was beautiful.

CanadaNot much to say- we travelled off season so I know that if it was busier we would have had the breakfast delivered to our door. One thing would be to have a bit more storage for clothing, and a little storage in the bathroom.
The design of the room is absolutely on point! The room has wonderful details. The bed is amazing…so comfortable! The location is great and was a plus that the restaurant was opened our first night there, our meal and wine selection was very good. Was a bit disappointing to not try more on the menu! The host is very friendly and helpful. There is a parking lot not far away, very convenient.

The style and facilities of the room were amazing, very spacious with everything that was needed during our stay. The location the hotel was in was also bonus!
