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.).

AustraliaWould have preferred a softer, memory foam pillow, but that is personal taste, other than that it was all very good.
The pre arrival message inc door code and very clear instructions on how to use the keypad to obtain the key was terrific. The welcome pack was a lovely and welcome surprise after a long car journey and saved us having to find a shop until the next morning. Our hosts were very helpful allowing a late checkout prior to our cruise, very much appreciated and saved a 4 hour wait at the cruise terminal.

AustraliaCouldn't complain about anything.
Ian was great, offered some good suggestions on local activities and where to eat. The property was very clean with lots of features. The washing machine was a huge bonus for us after a couple of weeks of travelling. Great self contained property with plenty of space. We were pleasantly surprised by drinks in the fridge and a pantry pack too. We were really happy we chose to stay here.

ThailandThe Light House is a very clean, tidy and comfortable place to stay. I have to visit the University, and it was very easy for me to commute there by walking. The hosts have prepared very plentiful cereal items for breakfast and beverage for afternoon tea. I think this is very generous of them. Thank you.

Everything - what an amazing little place, location was great - just opposite Southampton Common and a short drive from the city. We were only there two nights but could have happily stayed much longer. It was such a lovely place, so much thought gone into the decorations. We couldn't get the velux blind to work and Ian came in straight away to help us (nothing wrong with the blind, it was us not following the instructions properly!!) There was a little food bundle, which was great - we'd completely forgotten to go to the shops to get breakfast items on the first night, which meant we didn't have to. We will definitely be back!

Everything! Spotlessly clean, a welcome pack of milk/cereal/bread, spread and jam, a really nice little bolthole. They’d even got some ice cubes there - essential for a late night gin and tonic. Nothing to fault at all.

Comfortable accommodation in nice residential with good facilities. We chose this as convenient for hospital but it would be very suitable for visiting the area generally. Bus routes close by and near Southampton Common for walks and an excellent pub, The Cowherds.
