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 KingdomThe only downsides would be the bed , was a smaller double bed and wasn’t that comfortable. Room was very warm even with window open.
Great location , clean , staff very friendly and welcoming, on-suit bathroom was great. Rooms very up to date and stylish , B&B on a whole very up to date. Couldn’t fault the breakfast, plenty to chose from , great value for money.

United KingdomSecure storage for our bicycles in the yard, would have been good if they had been covered, but fortunately it was a dry night so all was fine.
Very good location for the end of the Hadrian's Cycleway in South Shields. Very warm welcome from our host and a welcome beer from the quirkily and comfortably furnished lounge bar. Decent sized room well appointed with en suite and tea and coffee and biscuits and water. Wifi was excellent. Shower really good. Guest house well located for a range of restaurants within a very short walking distance. We only had time in the morning for something quick on toast with juice and coffee as we had a train to catch, but host was more than happy to accommodate our needs and timings and had we had more time, there was a full breakfast menu which sadly we missed! Would definitely recommend to others.

United KingdomWe were welcomed at the door by Paul who showed us to our room we have stayed at some b&b in our time but this one was exceptional we were also able to pre book our breakfast by ticking boxes, the breakfast was first class full english Hash brown black pudding fried egg but you could have poached or scrabbled if you like I could go on, also should you need it their was dressing gowns and slippers in our room the bed was like home from home. We only stayed the one night but we will be back for two nights in future. Highly recommend this b&b and they also accept well behaved dogs.

AustraliaEverything was great, no fault.
Very clean, comfortable bed and cosy. The hosts were lovely and there were a lot of amenities at the property. The hosts also provided drinks as well as breakfast at the accommodation however we were only there a short time to catch up with friends so did not get to utilise.

SlovakiaIf you have mobility issues, ask about the stairs to the rooms. The shower boiler in the private bathroom was unreachable for me, as I'm only 5ft and this was like 6ft from the floor. When you're coming to the address (and it's already dark) watch the house numbers and house names closely, as there are the same numbers on both sides of the street!
Crispy clean place, comfy bed, beach and a dog park very close. The place is nice and decorated with a feeling for details. The breakfast was rich and tasty.

United KingdomUnfortunately, there was a problem with the water to the rooms in the morning (I only stayed for one night). This clearly caught the proprietor by surprise when it was brought to their attention. This meant no shower or washing facilities. As I was feeling unwell, I didn't wait to see if this was resolved. The guest house was slightly tricky to find as the two sides of the road don't share the same name!
The room was very smart and comfortable, and my needs were well provided for. Would have warranted a higher score without the problem detailed below.
