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.).

FranceIt is not something we “did not like”,but maybe providing a bathrobe to go from the chalet to the Jakuzzi, would render the experience even better in case of windy days 😄 (which happen a lot on Lewis) ! But this is really a detail.
Everything was perfect, and our host was the most welcoming. The Chalet itself is like a fully-equipped house. The Jacuzzi is a real plus!

United KingdomRiverside Chalet is the perfect family accommodation. The chalet itself has been finished to an incredibly high standard, with a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, high speed Wi-Fi and fantastic amenities (the hot tub was used daily!). The location is simply perfect. Easily accessible for all the island’s tourist must-sees (standing stones, broch, black houses to name but a few), you are also a 3 minute walk away from Borgh Pottery. There is also Borve House Hotel less than a 5 minute walk away where you can get a decent lunch and enjoy drinks whilst the kids run around the play park. Oh, and just a short walk across a couple of fields and you have a secluded little beach where you can sit and watch the sun go down. What more could you ask for?!

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like. The location was beautiful and the property was terrific.
This property is described as a chalet but it's much more than that - it's a very well appointed 2 bed house. It is located down a long private drive next to a river and there is ample privacy from the owner's own house. The chalet is very well looked after and extremely clean and comfortable. In the grounds it has a raised deck so you can look out over the garden and croft to the sea not far away. There is also a hot tub and a sauna. The owner had left us the best welcome basket we've ever seen - and we've seen a few - and was very friendly.

United KingdomI cant think of anything.
The house was amazing & exceeded my expectations. The hot tub & sauna which were located inside a shed were fantastic & meant it didn't matter if it was raining outside! My son enjoyed the table football, mini pool & darts etc also located inside the shed at the bottom of the garden. The hotel across the road was great for meals & did takeaway too.
