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.).

The little touches and thought that the hosts put into what guests might need, such as 3 different types of coffee and even a lint roller!

New ZealandHot water in the downstairs hand basin would have been great for hand washing. Other than that it was fine.
The property had everything we needed, and was clean. Unfortunately, we arrived just as a storm was hitting the south coast. The roof in the downstairs laundry/toilet leaked quite badly and there was no hot water in the downstairs hand basin - only the cold water tap was operational. Not usually a problem, but I have 2 hip replacements and a knee replacement and didn’t like using the stairs too often, so using the downstairs toilet felt a bit ugh with the wet floor, and not washing my hands properly. Other than that, it was ideal, and in a perfect location.

United KingdomClean, tidy, and overall a very pleasant property. Owners are very nice and helpful people to deal with. Little touches like a pint of milk and some tea, coffee, etc, were at the property on arrival, so there was no panic to rush over the road before having a brew. Off-street parking is also available at the property, which is a nice touch.

United KingdomThe doors and wood work are a little out dated but this by no means effected our stay it was still a good stay. The parking was ok but I think it would be more beneficial if you could park one of the cars on the drive at the back of the house for more security, but we did have any issues
I loved all the extra that were supplied it felt like home from home, they also put a Christmas tree up which was a lovely touch. The location was perfect for the centre of Portsmouth and we had an Asda right over the road which was ideal for supplies. The owners were amazing as after we left my son realised he had left his work uniform behind in the wardrobe and after contacting the hosts they arranged with my son to post his uniform back to him which we really appreciated as we were a 6 hour drive away. Nothing was any trouble and I think that makes all the difference. If we had to travel back to Portsmouth we would definitely stay again, great value for money and the bedrooms were all decorated nice and beds very comfortable.

United KingdomHate answering this question as there is so little that was negative about our stay. A second shower downstairs would have helped us. Shower over bath a little low for us tall folks. Towels a bit small but there were plenty so no issue really. In summary "DIDN'T LIKE HAVING TO GO HOME".
The little touches like tissues, hand soap, plenty of loo rolls, Mirrors. Everyone's beds clean and comfy, nice soft linens. Quiet location. Bright attractive comfy furnishings. Very comfy sofa and chair. Well equipped kitchen. Two toilets helped with 7 of us. Beautiful Garden, love the Passion Flower and Hostas. Nice and peaceful to sit out at the end of a hot day. Helpful and welcoming Hosts.
