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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). 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.).

United KingdomThis is truly a wonderful place to stay, with one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in in a hotel! The hosts were very friendly and kind, always offering advice or tips or just happy to have a chat. The breakfast was plentiful and they went out of their way to provide delicious vegan options. They also provided tea and cake on our arrival and there were plenty of books and board games available in the lounge to keep us entertained. Note that the hotel has no lift and is up a steep hill (this is not a negative point as such, as it means the place has great views!), which you should be aware of if you have mobility issues.

HungaryThere was no such a thing, they gave what was promised
My room was exactly like in the pictures, lovely and clean. Alison and Victor are really kind and helpful. The view from the room was wonderful, I saw the rocks and the channel. Probably it's a matter of chance, but I met their quiet and kind people, they held each other in respect, no disturbing behaviour, noise..stc. Now I understand why they got so high rates for the breakfast: they offer wide and really good range of meals - suitable for vegetarians, even vegans too, guests can leave them their choices on a form previous evening. I tried about 4 kind of breakfast and everything was great.

Breakfast had a large selection and plenty to choose from. Great to have a lounge to sit in with other guests and use the honesty bar - well stocked and good prices. Hosts were friendly and welcoming. Our room had lovely views and the bed was so comfortable. Lovely to hear the owls hooting at night

GermanyDifficult access by car (if you are afraid of going up the very steep narrow lane, park below at Bottom Meadow Car Park and go up the stairs through the garden). On Google Maps, the car park is called Castlehill Car Park!
Best view ever of the sea right from my bed! Room very small, but very thoughtfully equipped with everything you could want. Excellent breakfast selection. Owners very nice and helpful.

On arrival we were offered tea and cake, we had the most delicious homemade cake on the veranda. Alison and Victor were such genuinely friendly people it created a very friendly atmosphere, instead of silence & hushed conversations at breakfast everyone was chatty and said good morning. Alison thoughtfully sat us at a different table so we could enjoy a different view at breakfast. The food was excellent, all homemade, fantastic range not just the usual full English, the only problem was deciding what to choose! The bed was so comfortable & the pillows perfect (usually they’re too thin for one and 2 together are too big). We will always chose Sinai House for future trips to Lynton.

United KingdomAfter a 9.5 hr journey, and horrendous hold ups, we arrived at 7.30 pm which was within the check in times. The owner was clearly annoyed that we had not arrived between 3-4, (as apparently we had put this on the form when we booked initially). This clearly was a sore point, and we apologised but felt most unwelcome at the cool reception. Tired and hungry, we then had to find somewhere to eat, and finding all local eateries full, it was not the best start to our holiday. Note to self, always book a restaurant in advance. However, first impressions are paramount to us, and on arrival to Sinai, it could and should have been better. Things thankfully did improve after the initial set back.
Lots of choice for breakfast and cooked to perfection. Spacious room and fabulous view.

United KingdomOnly slight downside of my room was that the toilet was across the landing rather than en-suite . It was for my exclusive use, bright and spotlessly clean but for us gentlemen of a certain age, still a wee nuisance in the middle of the night.
My room was clean and comfortable, the view from the window was spectacular and breakfast came with a wide choice of good quality ingredients, including honey from Sinai House's own hives.
