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.).

BulgariaWe weren't accommodated on this place as it wasn't available (there was an issue with it). On the day of stay they offered us different place which was Ok, but on 12km distance from the original room. We had no choice as we arrived really late, but the place was not what we needed. So we asked to have the booking changed and to refund us the remaining nights - which was confirmed after 2 weeks after long disucssions... We had to book another hotel to stay.

United StatesIn the middle of the ghetto, poor service, poor communication, and pictures are miss leading. The bathroom is worse than a jail, with no power in the restroom to connect anything. I have to think hard to get power to the shower spray. There is no instruction once so ever for checking out. The pillow was flat, like none exciting.
They have a hair dryer.

Czech RepublicThis was the worst experience I ever had with booking. The studio flat was situated 20 minutes from centre. Before our arrival we wrote to booking that we will arrive at 01:00 till 02:00 and they accepted it. When we finally came to the adress the building looked old and wasted. There were three keylockers, but non was with our keys. I called owner and he thought that we will arrive next day and that he hasn't got the studio ready. He arrived after 30 minutes and opened the studio for us. There was such a mess all around and the bedsheets was used. He wanted us to stay there for one night with the used bedsheets and the other day he would clean the room. When we didn't agree, he offered us an another property to stay, but 20 minutes away by car. So we were one hour away from centre at the end. When we came to the another property everything was alright there. Clean room, clean bedsheets. Only shower was cold, that was the only one problem in this property. At first he wanted us to stay in the new property only for one night, then wanted us to come back to the first studio flat. But we didn't want to come back there, because we didn't feel safe in that area. Next day owner texted me that we can stay in the new property. So I wanted to say don't go to Elephant Castle, I think that it's not safe area. But I want to say that the owner was really kind to let us in the new property, he wanted to solve the problem and offer something different after mistake with dates and time.
Owner was kind to us, wanted to help. The second property was clean and new.

NetherlandsFirst of all, the studio fell way below expectations. The couch was stained, and the sheets were yellow. The toilet was not properly cleaned, and the house had a funny smell. Security was terrible. You cannot lock the front door from the inside. They have a lock, but they didn't make a hole in the doorway, so it doesn't work. Anyone who knows your code can come in at any moment. There is also nothing you can put on the door to indicate that you don't want them to come inside. But the worst part is they have a back window/door to a dark alley that communicates with other buildings. This door has a handle on the outside, and you also cannot lock it from the inside. After noticing this at 22:00 due to a major party happening in the building communicating to this street, we didn't feel safe and contacted booking and the owner. The owner was dismissive and told us everything was working properly and didn't provide any further help. They said they were watching the cameras 24/7 to ensure no one comes into our room, which is, of course, not true. They didn't even come to meet us and try to lock the door. At booking, they told us we could ask for a full refund and book another accommodation. Now they say I was not entitled to a refund? I basically threw 200 euros down the drain for this dump. Don't make the same mistake as me. Read the reviews and book somewhere else. We found a nice hotel 10 minutes further down the street.

United KingdomTerrible communication and instructions. Was not given clear information on how to access the key box, nor leave the keys on exit. I ended up trying to enter the wrong room under terrible information provided. I had to call to sort at 9.30 pm which wasn’t ideal. No internet inside and text messages shared for a signal that didn’t exist. Should be a pamphlet inside explaining how to function in the 21st century. Shower is also decaying, there’s damp in the roof and everything needs to be painted.
Good location within walking distance of the city

United KingdomI was absolutely disgusted with the level of poor hygiene, there was 4 cooked eggs left inside the kettle, I stood on toe nail clippings that had been discarded all over the floor, the bed wasn’t clean bedding and had pubic hairs on the sheets and the pillows had head hair on them, the bathroom towels were dirty n used, toilet paper was left all over the bathroom floor, the Wi-Fi did not work so I couldn’t use my devices for work purposes. I’m absolutely appalled at the service. I contacted the owner and he immediately assured me a refund which he has still neglected to do. I demand a full refund of £90. Regards D. Corbett
