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 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.).

RomaniaI booked a room with private bathroom, however, I had a room in the attic and the bathroom was on the hallway. There was another room at the same floor, so I assumed the bathroom was shared between the two rooms which I totally disliked. There was no internet (or at least nobody provided me with any login instructions and there was nobody to ask). Also, when I arrived a lady came from across the street to give me the keys, but she was not able to provide any additional information (for example she was not sure what should I do with the keys when I leave (as I was leaving in the middle of the night). This is not really a hotel, it is rather an Airbnb with several apartments, which is fine, but in this case you would need a house manual with some instructions.
The room was clean and had all the basic facilities you would need, including hair dryer.

Ireland-The bed was not that comfortable. Flat and hard. -The very bright motion sensor light was directly outside the bedroom window and went on and off all night. And the curtains were so light the bedroom filled with light each time. It was very difficult to sleep. -There was an incredibly strong smell in the bathroom. We could not understand what it was. The bathroom was clean. It smelled like cat.
The host was really great. The breakfast was great. The location was great. The room was good and clean.

GreeceThe communication was difficult. I sent a message about breakfast to the number that had previously communicated with me, and responded almost 7 hours later, at 2:45AM. The toilet seat was cracked and some body hair have been trapped in the crack... We tried to clean it, but without any success... So, who would want to sit on another person's "private" hair...? I sent a picture to the person in charge and never replied. The breakfast was mediocre and far from rich.
The room was nicely decorated and looked clean. The location is alright, since it takes 20 minutes to get to the centre by bus, and it's right next to the bus stop. The check-in was easy. The bed was more or less okay. The shower was good. The breakfast lady was polite. It was really easy to park my car.

UkraineShower was not well working this time, a bit old “used” rooms (shabby in some places, but this is a guest house, not a hotel, so we never minded this as stayed for 1 night only), no fridge (at least a small would be great).
Good location, close to bus stop to a city centre, near supermarkets and coffee places. Free parking and friendly staff, basic but nice breakfast included. Comfortable beds, tea/coffee amenities. We were allowed to leave the car free of charge before checking time ;) that was nice.

RomaniaThere is no AC, and perhaps the rooms could be a bit cleaner (the toilet brush was in the toilet bowl when we came in, that seemed a bit strange).
The breakfast exceeded expectations.

United KingdomRoom rather cramped. Could have been more generous with the soap and shampoo.
Very good location. Close to supermarkets and places to eat. Easy to find the hotel, on the main road. Some parking at the hotel (2 spaces) but free on road parking in the adjacent side roads from 4pm to 10am and 6pm to 8am. Single room a bit small, but had everything I needed. Comfortable bed. Room and bathroom both very clean. Reception was quick and efficient. Breakfast was fine (continental)

United KingdomWould have liked a bit more hot selection for breakfast. E.g. egg, bacon, sausage, beans, mushrooms. However the croissants were a gorgeous addition
Liked how close it was to the restaurant that we had reservations at. Great parking, directly outside. The room was lovely and clean and the owners had thought of everything, including extension leads with usb sockets next to the bed. The bed was firm but comfy and we had a great nights sleep. Next morning breakfast was lovely with really attentive service. Will definitely be staying again.
