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 KingdomNo problems at all
Property was perfect for our needs. It was spacious and warm, and all kitchen utensils that we needed to prepare simple meals were provided. Our hosts Liz and Chris were friendly and helpful. Liz even went 'above and beyond' when we asked for a recommendation for a restaurant after finding the local hostelry fully booked. She phoned round several places to find one that could seat us and then phoned them back after our agreement to book for us - many thanks for your help Liz. It was a lovely relaxing weekend - with surprising unseasonal weather being warm and sunny all weekend - something I desperately needed after just leaving hospital after another round of extensive cancer treatment. I can highly recommend this property. Thanks again to Liz & Chris

MalaysiaBoth Liz and her hubby were great hosts. They were friendly, helpful and very accommodating. The apartment is very new, well designed, has everything needed for a very comfortable stay, and is located in a lovely rural setting. Rooms are spacious, clean and modern yet retaining a distinctly country charm. The internet was fast and reliable and the TV had access to lots of channels including Netflix. There's a very good pub just a few minutes walk from the apartment but nothing else by way of shops or places to eat within reasonable walking distance. This is an excellent base to explore Devon County, an exceptionally lovely part of the UK. You'll need a car, or course, and must be prepared for the very narrow, winding, roads. Lots of patience and consideration are needed when driving.

United KingdomCan't think of anything!
Our hosts, Liz and Chris, were very friendly and welcoming. They have built the apartment themselves, and are rightfully very proud of it. It's a lovely place in a really beautiful, peaceful part of the Devonshire countryside, yet only a short drive from the A38 Devon Expressway. The property was clean and provided everything we needed; the bed was very comfortable, and we could happily have stayed more than the one night we had there. We ate at the Ley Arms, which is a very short walk away; a really nice pub/restaurant with good food and wine; make sure you book a table!

Perfect for our purpose. Loved the little details such as the personal interaction, provision of coffee/tea and milk plus biscuits and information on the local area. Also toiletries for the shower. The village is absolutely picture postcard and the nearby pub provides delicious food and ambience. Also very convenient for the A38 expressway and southern end of M5 motorway. Daughter slept in sofa bed comfortably and the Jack and Jill bathroom was a clever way to meet the needs of up to 4 people. Thoroughly recommend.
