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 KingdomAbsolutely can't recommend this place enough. Lovely independent hostel. Stayed here while doing the coast to coast at the weekend. We managed to book the apartment which was brilliant, cosy and had just what we needed. Had everything we needed even tea and coffee. The absolute bonus was the ability to store bike, a repair station and drying room for kit. We didn't use communal areas as only stayed the night and exhausted. Then left early next morning. They looked brilliant though. Also sorry forgot food in the fridge...... Oops. I'm sure we'll be back as great little place.

United KingdomNothing. It exactly suited what we needed.
We were cycling LeJog and arrived cold & wet after a long day. Wayfarers was our perfect destination, with their warm & friendly personal welcome, as well as excellent drying room & cycle storage facilities. Comfortable and warm, with plenty of hot water and close to shops where we could stock up. Well done Wayfarers - thanks for your excellent hospitality. We loved our stay with you!

BelgiumFor the first time ever we were asked to put all bedsheets and bathmat in a laundry bag before checkout. We did, but a bit bizarre.
The room, bathroom and shared kitchen are extremely clean. The check-in process is nice, friendly hosts and the room (1) is bathing in light. The shower is heavenly. The area is peaceful and you are in no time in the centre.

The hotel was easy to find and was close to the centre of Penrith so had wasy access for shops and restaurants. There were all of the necessary facilities for food and drink preparation and also drying areas and bike space for those who required it.
