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.).

New ZealandThere isn’t anything we didn’t like about the property; it was perfect!
This 6-room hotel is located right on the Hydra seaport! Very much a welcoming home atmosphere with very caring, helpful and accommodating staff. Extremely good breakfast cooked by the sisters who own the hotel, with a huge choice of delicious things to eat. Breakfast is eaten around a large table; a great opportunity to meet and chat to your fellow guests. This unique Greek experience of a hotel is run by two cheerful and energetic sisters who are now the fourth generation of the same family to own it. We loved our comfortable room with a balcony that overlooked the hustle and bustle of the harbour and were delighted with our helpful and friendly hosts.

United KingdomIt was fabulous
The hotel is a beautiful building on the harbour, so it’s busy outside from early morning until late at night! The staff were just wonderful; friendly, welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble. The room was beautiful, if on the small side, but the bed was large and very comfortable. We didn’t have a balcony but could use one that looked into the harbour which was fun, as there was always something happening! The breakfast is the stuff of legends! I can’t imagine enjoying a hotel breakfast as much ever again ☺️

IsraelIt could be a bit noisy outside for a few hours in the evening, but one can turn A/C to cover up the street noise. Having a balcony - to sit and enjoy the action below - is a huge plus.
Beautiful room with balcony, from which to observe the constant goings-on at the working port. Sofia makes delicious breakfast different each morning including both savory and sweet items, most of it homemade.

United StatesThe fold out bed wasn't terribly comfortable and took most of the downstairs space when made up. No place to sit. The bedroom upstairs was nice and guest there was happy.
Breakfast was absolutely amazing. It is the best and I think that she made scrambled eggs especially for me since she knew I was having a problem eating.

AustraliaHotel is located right on the port waterfront. The rooms with sea views have a balcony right above the port which is wonderful to take in all the bust comings and going on the dock. All rooms have access to a port view balcony. The women running the hotel are marvelous and should be bottled. Breakfast is great.

SwitzerlandI stayed in the "budget room" which has windows that look at a small indoor balcony that has a machine that makes noise at random times and it can be annoying if you have the windows opened (you can't hear it if you close them though)
One of the best small hotels I've ever stayed in, the owner is just lovely, she bakes fresh pies and cakes every morning, and the big breakfast table makes you get to know the other guests and adds to the experience. The room is big and the bed very comfortable
