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.).

ItalyBoth rooms I have been in, including the upgraded much bigger one, have a very small toilet room. It’s weird how small and uncomfortable the shower/toilet room can be in such a big and comfy room. In particular the shower needs fixing (not even someone of 5feet height like me could wash her hair with that one), a pair of shelves and a pair of hooks could make a big difference for comfort, instead anything was very basic. The smaller room I booked would have been really uncomfortable for the 4 days I stayed (no wardrobe, hardly any walking space around the bed, only blinds at the window, no curtain, shower room with no shelves/hook…). Hall and stairs with a bad smell, require some ‘help’ too.
Claire, the host, has been promptly responding to my messages, offering an upgraded room as soon as I communicated some issues with the room I initially checked in. The entire place is conveniently keyless, it offers luggage storage if arriving early, a small fridge and microwave in the shared kitchen, both very handy. Good position near the station and bus stop, half an hour walk from city center.

AustraliaDoor access was tricky. The door needed to be pulled then pushed in order to get the outer door to open, which took a bit of trial and error. The bathroom was really tiny with a high step to enter it, but it was functional. It was difficult to get dressed in the bathroom due to the small size. Luggage storage after checkout was an issue. I tried to contact the Norna team through the Booking.com app to pre-arrange storage of our luggage but got no response even though I messaged more than 24hrs beforehand. The lack of storage messed with our last day in town.
Easy access to the train station and buses, 20 minute walk into the centre of town, comfortable beds.

United KingdomThe room was quite hot so maybe a fan to be on offer as the sun does hit that room quite abit during the day. It was a squeeze in the bathroom and the shower head could only stay at the bottom as the part to tighten it onto the pole wouldn't work so washing my hair was abit awkward. Also the fan in the bathroom wasn't working when we stayed.
I loved the decor of the room, it was lovely and clean and in a great location. It had nice set up of teas, coffees etc on the side also and the bed was very comfy, had a great sleep.

TurkeyIn the first day, heater was not working very well and it was too small for the room. Insulation of window was very bad so room was so cold all night. Shower head was broken and THE BIGGEST PROBLEM is that there was so hot water for 10 seconds then it turns cold for 40 seconds.
Excellent location Exceptionally clean Helen was so helpfull to take care the problems and contact with landlord.
