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 KingdomGeorge, who was the perfect Host, knows this - but it can be tricky to find unless you (unlike me) memorise exactly where it’s located. It’s not the distance or the steps so much as it can be quite easy to walk straight past! He’s trying to remedy this though with google maps and wasn’t helped by my own poor direction.
This will seem silly given the next part (what I didn’t like) but the location. It was away from everything and had a delightful view of the harbour. Inside it hit all the marks that I need (wifi, aircon, cats!). I didn’t spend much time in the actual property mostly because I didn’t stay on the island for long but if I did, I’d have felt very well looked after.

United KingdomNothing.
Beautifully renovated to a very high standard. Fully equipped with everything we needed. Fabulous views overlooking the harbour. We were worried about the climb up and down but so long as you took it steady it’s not too difficult. Great that George could organise luggage transport both up and down. Maybe some stylish cushions on the stone seat in the bedroom would top it all off.

FinlandHydra apartment should compensate for cancelling my booking since they probably got higher prices. I think Booking should push for it. If the customer is cancelling, we do not get our money back, but it does not seem to apply for Hosts unless it goes to bookings pockets.
Hydra apartment cancelled my booking just a few days prior to my arrival. The Braxos was the alternative. It was great spot.

GermanyThe walk up can get a bit intense when you do it for a few days straight, it is private which is nice but quite up into the hill. The shower in the bathroom could be easily improved by adding glass or curtains so as not to wet the whole floor and allowing you to hang it somewhere on top.
The property is spacious, clean and cozy and has a fantastic view of the port and the main town from a small garden perfectly fitted with table and chairs; makes for a wonderful breakfast or wine spot in the evening to watch the sundowner. Its very well equipped, you will find everything you need and the host was super kind to leave water, tea and coffee in advance. There are cats roaming around (its a common thing in the small island) which are very friendly and always happy to come and say hi but don't disturb you during the day. The property stays cool at night even in hot days and host provides AC.

IrelandThere are a lot of steps to get to the house, so not for the faint hearted!
A lovely idyllic basement of a lager house above with wonderful cut stone walls. The views from the patio down to the port and out to sea are stunning.

United StatesIt was my fault not looking at the text message for George to meet with us. So trying to find it was a geotracking treasure experience.
You either walk or let a donkey take you up the stairs to get there. Either way the view was absolutely worth the walk up. After eating the awesome food in the area the walk up to burn some calories was something I would do over and over again. This was a great place. We loved it!

United StatesThere was no awareness regarding on how to get to the property. I got lost a couple of times in 90 degree heat. I understand google does not have a path mapped however, the island could have signs to help guide you.
The property is beautiful and the view is breathtaking.
