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.).

United KingdomI have booked various hotels and Airbnbs and have never been asked for my driving license to be photo copied, this is breaching gdpr regulations as booking.com have your details already when registering. The man on reception did not like that I knew this and stated that every hotel and Airbnb should do this, when I corrected him he got really defensive.
The property looked like it was being updated

United KingdomStayed here a few years ago and it was excellent, however not so pleasurable return. Room was ok but cleanliness not so great, no kettle on room on arrival asked for one which was got straight away however, water still on it and timescale all over it and plug was covered in yuck so had to clean it off. Restaurant staff were ok however the speed of the 3 course meal we had I felt like I was on a eating quest. No sooner was knife and fork down and the next course arrived. Fillet steak was ok but only came with chips, everything else was extra, dessert wasn't great. I'm sad to say I won't be returning which shame as good location. Sorry guys must try harder.
Location, on a positive bed was comfy

United KingdomRoom overlooked car park. No privacy as car parked right next to bedroom window. No net curtains or blinds which was a big privacy/security issue. Had to keep curtains drawn during day for this reason. General public can walk in and out freely and gain access to hotel as front door open at night with no security present only cctv signage.
Location. Hotel easy to find. Plenty of parking onsite

United KingdomThe room we had was a “wedding suite” it was old and tired. The decorations were old fashioned and in need of modernisation. I think most newly married couples would have been unhappy with the accommodation.
The location suited our needs. The restaurant was popular so we tried it and found the food was good and the staff were pleasant.

United Kingdomwe understood at time of booking that breakfast was included but a notice on reception stated that due to Covid they would not be serving breakfast. There was also large rats nest outside our room window adjacent to the pond. We ran out of toilet roll and as no staff were available I looked in the store cupboard and eventually found a pack under a heap of dirty linen on the floor.
