Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomAbsolutely the best B&B we've stayed in so far, Glenn and Susann are the perfect hosts and made us feel so welcome upon arrival. The room was very clean and furnished to a high standard. In fact, the whole building was, I can't limit it to the just the room. After a good comfy nights sleep, you then have breakfast that really was first class. A lovely B&B that's well worth a visit, you won't be disappointed. Convenient location to get anywhere whilst still very close to the lake and quiet at night.

AustraliaThe fact that there was no facility to wash my clothes. Had to go up to town for it & when we got there lots of people were there already so we wasted several hours trying to do our washing.
Clean & absolutely stunning.

United KingdomThere was nothing not to like, fantastic visit
Susann and Glen are lovely, welcoming hosts who gave us helpful tips on where to go locally and how we can get around easily. We booked our visit after our wedding and they took the time and effort to decorate the room with Mr and Mrs bunting, and congratulated us on our arrival. The morning breakfasts were delightful and they sat us looking on to their beautiful garden every morning. We highly recommend a visit and we would happily visit again. They are both truly wonderful people and it's a delightful and gorgeous place, couldn't have been made to feel more welcome and cared for throughout! Thanks so much for our wonderful stay.

Susann and Glenn run a wonderful guest house ideally located in Burness - on Windermere. They are generous hosts and happy to provide details on places to visit and local restaurants and pubs. The property is very well maintained with lovely gardens. On site parking is a bonus.
