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 KingdomWe had a slight panic as we struggled to get the main door open to get out on the morning we left, the owner did show me that the night before and said it was stiff. I would suggest a new lock for this to make it easier for people to leave the premises if they need to go before everyone is awake or there is an emergency.
We arrived quite late on the Friday and struggled to find somewhere to eat. The B&B owner vey kindly checked with a nearby restaurant and managed to get us a table at very short notice. The room we had was lovely and the bed very comfy. Bathroom clean and we had a really nice view of the harbour. It was a particularly warm evening and there was a fan in the wardrobe we used, that was a God send. The next day we caught early boat at Kennacraig so had left before breakfast started, however the owners had made us sandwiches which they left in the fridge with yogurts. We really appreciated this. Hopefully if we stay again, we will have time to try the breakfast.

United KingdomWanted somewhere near to the ferry after coming back from Islay. Friendly and warm welcome, on arrival the owner asked if we had booked for dinner and when we stated that we hadn't he quickly arranged dinner for us at a local restaurant. 2nd floor room overlooking the working harbour, caught a glimpse of the local seal. Bed was reasonably comfortable. Fresh milk available for tea and coffee. Really good breakfast including mexican porridge of which I was a little sceptical but turned out to be superb and home made preserves. We were presented with some home baked cake on leaving which was enjoyed with a brew on Loch Lomond later in the day.

United KingdomHaving to carry heavy motorcycle gear up to the top floor. To be fair to the hosts, we hadn’t told them that when we booked. They did say that had we contacted them they would have put us on a lower floor. Can’t be any fairer than that.
Exceptional breakfast, the Mexican porridge was a particular highlight. Everything was fresh and very well cooked and presented.

United KingdomThe only slight quibble was the wooden footboard at the bottom of the bed which prevented one of us from fully stretching out.
A lovely welcome from such a nice couple. A generous quantity of tea, coffee, hot chocolate & biscuits was provided in our room, a most delicious breakfast including delectable Mexican porridge which I am sure will not be found in any other B & B in Britain! And, to cap it all, we were given a little bag of freshly made muffins & biscuits as a leaving present. We'll be back!
