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 KingdomTo many things to say. It needs some serious attention and quite honestly should have guests until it’s had a lot of work done on it. We didn’t feel safe, random people came knocking on the door, there was no manned reception or staff on site. Cobwebs and dirt everywhere. The surrounding area is a rubbish tip. Basic at its very extreme. It definitely shouldn’t be offered as a place to stay by Booking.com or any other site.
the bed was comfortable.

United KingdomThe shower didn't work properly and I had to get the gentleman to help us navigate the shower as the handle is missing. There was only a quarter of a used toilet roll available and only 1 towel for 2 people. Saying this, it was late at night and all issues were rectified immediately.
Very close to the airport! The gentleman who lives on site was extremely helpful at a late time in the evening when we arrived. The bed was comfortable.

United KingdomI was scared while I was staying as everything felt quite sketchy. The hallway stinks of weed, and it feels quite unsafe. It was really hard to find the building in the dark and it was unclear that I was able to walk straight in the front door.
It was easy to get into the room - a code was given to unlock a box with the room key so it didn't matter that I arrived late and no one was needed to check me in. It was easy to get a bus to stansted airport in the morning.

United KingdomThere was nobody on the very small reception table and chair that they have there. Pressed bell - no answer. After 20 minutes someone came out and told me I needed a code to access the key to the room. Nobody answers first 2 calls. Third call someone answered as Booking.com didn’t provide me with any code.
The room was quiet. Room was as I expected.
