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 KingdomNothing. The only gripe was the instant coffee machine, i couldnt get it to work. Which could have been easily rectified if i had spoken to the cleaners or front of house. But i wasnt in need of a coffee that bad so it slipped my mind.
The food was exceptional, all of it! From the bread at breakfast to the burger at dinner. All of the staff were lovely and they seemed genuinely interested in what we had to say. The room was quirky and the location was out of this world. We had a walk up and down the village and felt like we were back home in the Cotswolds (ish, between the dales and the moors we felt extra countrified)

The attention to detail was the best I've seen in a longtime. The Kate star room was perfect, decor was lovely. Coffee maker choice of beverages the curly wurly was greatly appreciated. Fabulous size bath and toiletries. Room lovely and warm. Sofa area perfect. Even though room was above the bar it was quiet. Hairdryer and bathrobes iron all brilliant. Safe big carpark. Lots of places to sit outside. Really friendly staff and amazing food.

Abkhazia, GeorgiaWe had a meal that evening in the cosy bar area which was nice. The only negative was the meal I chose the sauce was too much and too runny and the fish was a little chewy . I didn't say anything in the evening as it was a special night but did mention it the next morning. The meals were also a bit pricey for what you had but overall it was very satisfactory.
It was a very conformable overnight stay as it was our onward journey further up North. We were made welcome and had an upgrade as it was available for our birthday celebration which was much appreciated as the new room was much more spacious and upmarket. We were most thankful for that.

United KingdomWe were in a very spacious room with a huge bed Getting in one side was fine, but it only left a squeeze by space on the other side to get into it. I may have missed the information but hadn’t realised the room was in an annexe a few yards down the road.
Great village location not far off the motorway. Lovely old building with a friendly atmosphere. There was a good choice for a tasty breakfast and we enjoyed our evening meal here too. Good for people with dogs.
