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 StatesThe en suite facilities were a little "tight"
The location was spectacular and the property first class. In particular the staff was very helpful and specifically Kerri (Not sure if have spelt her name correctly but she was our host for the first few and the last day) was in every respect professional, kind and hospitable. She made the difference between a great stay and an unforgettable one.

IsraelEverything was great.
This hotel is high class with not that high price. The room was clean, well-designed, and comfortable. The lounge is a great place to spend the evening drinking whisky from the honesty bar, and the staff ensured we had the right atmosphere for a rainy evening. The food was also great, breakfast prepared by a chef, and was tasty and appealing. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the city center, and you can walk along the promenade and enjoy the view.

AustraliaThe attention to detail from when you first arrived and were offered a welcome drink until you were farewelled. The hosts had thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. The room was lovely with everything you could need including a fan as it was unseasonably warm. The bed was so comfortable with a light feather doona and feather pillows so I slept so well. We had a room with a view which I would highly recommend. There was a lovely sitting room where you could relax with a drink and watch the world go by as it had a view also.

United StatesEverything was terrific!
Our stay was simply delightful! Carrie greeted us warmly and offered us a lovely glass of champagne to sip during check in in the cozy sitting room. The room was impeccably clean and well-appointed. Breakfast in the gorgeous kitchen was outstanding. The ten-minute walk into town along the sea wall was beautiful, and we appreciated the giant umbrellas we got to borrow for the occasional rain. The room was quite small, which was perfect for a short stay but might be a bit snug for a longer stay.
