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.).

IrelandThe room was quiet bright as the curtains were not blackout. However, this did not affect the quality of our trip or our sleep at all. Just something to consider if traveling with infants.
Chrissy had excellent communication prior to our trip. She welcomed us, showed us round and gave us space to settle. Breakfast was self serve and had plenty of options. Chrissy and Noel went over and beyond to make my kids feel comfortable. Shower was lovely, beds were really comfortable. It was lovely to have the sitting room in the mornings for cartoons and access to the beautiful garden. It honestly was a home from home. Will return again on our next trip to see family.

United KingdomIf I had to write anything it's that the breakfast options were limited and not cooked but if that's the only thing I can complain about I think we're onto a winner.
The Monkey House B&B is a lovely little place to stay in the small town of Stone. We were made to feel very welcome by the hosts Chrissie and Noel (and of course little Bella). We were given most of the top floor and a living room to ourselves with two great rooms with plenty of space and comfiness. Would recommend if you are planning to stay in the area for a couple of days.

United KingdomIt would be good to be able to eat upstairs, but there were no problems with using the kitchen. Struggling to think of anything that I didn't like.
Chrissie and Noel were very welcoming. Bella the dog was well behaved and friendly. The room was clean, tidy and very comfortable. There were tea making facilities available upstairs too. The bathroom was clean and tidy and the shower was hot and powerful. House rules were reasonable. Breakfast was great: I don't eat a lot for breakfast but there is plenty if you are a foodie.

United Kingdomall fantastic. thank you. loved the slippers
the only thing that needs to change is the put-u-up single bed just needs proper single bed that doesn't move when sleeper moves. layout and hosts including dog bella were like a family. have the run of the visitor areas and just ask if you wanted anything. We treated them with the same respect that they showed us. loved it. if only all b&bs could be like this thanks to Noel & Chrissie.

United KingdomReally wouldn't be able to think of anything!
Christina and Noel were both fantastic hosts. They were friendly and extremely responsive right from when we first booked and had queries about whether the room would be suitable for us if travelling with a baby. Christine was also very helpful on the day we were due to check in - for some reason the booking was not showing my end on the website, leaving us a bit concerned! We were surprised to find out that they had not long been running as a B&B, they gave the appearance that they had been in the business for years. They were always asking if there was anything else we needed and offered to go and buy alternatives for breakfast, but we really couldn't have needed anything else there. It was particularly unexpected and a lovely touch that they had a high chair, making breakfast with our 10 month old a lot easier. I also do not think that I have ever come across a property with such high cleaning standards. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

There was even a personalised welcome board with a picture of a rollercoaster as we were headed to Alton Towers! I’ve never felt so welcome in someone else’s home.
