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.).

New ZealandThere was a jug and two mugs but no spoons, tea bags of coffee sachets. Would’ve been nice to have those sort of bare minimum amenities at a villa just to be able to have a coffee in the morning. Could be improved with a couple bowls even since there is the fridge there to keep things in.
Such lovely hosts, were very helpful upon checking with giving us a general map of the area. Convenient to Fira town, and only 15 minute walk to the main bus station. Reasonable view from the balcony but a bit obscured. The bathroom facilities were good and the whole place was very clean.

Canada-The hotel is on what seems to be a small street but it’s a surprisingly busy one, and the sound of the street gets into the room pretty easily. Light sleepers beware: you’re likely to be woken up once or twice between 12-4 AM by honking or cars passing by playing loud music. -The location is good but not great; it’s close enough to the main part of Thira that it would make no sense to call a taxi or rent a car, but it’s also a good 20-30 minute walk with considerable elevation. If you’re not in good shape, this is probably not the hotel to book.
-The hotel had a very homey feel -The staff and owners were very friendly and accommodating -Shuttles upon arrival and upon leaving were totally organized by the hotel and cost a good deal less than if we had called on our own -The quality/price ratio was very good. Room had everything you could need and was in decent shape

Comfortable room with a balcony with a great view. Great shower. 15mins walk from the bus station and was provided with a map for getting into town which was helpful as lots of windy little pathways.

United KingdomMy friend complained about her bed but mine was fine. There was a weird clanking sound in the night but didn’t disturb us much. Don't forget to bring your own shower gel and shampoo
It was located away from town but not too difficult to walk to. Only 10-15mins walk depending where you which part to town you wanna go to. Simple and sweet. It’s got all you need unless you’re looking for a pool or spa

United KingdomThe occasional loud noise from outside motorbike or cockerel and no option of duvet, just had a blanket on top of the bed which could get a bit cold. The wifi is unpredictable after 10pm for signal. There's a kettle with no teabags in room.
The room was so clean an tidy and smelt amazing as I walked in. Staff are very attentive and its got nice green space. It's easy to find if you get a bit lost (as 02 signal in this area I found poor for google maps) Shower and bathroom with hairdryer provided is good too.

BrazilThe exact location differs from the ad (it led you to think it's right across the main bus station), but we managed to get there without any further issues.
Everything was good and the hosts were very welcoming. Facilities were well maintained. On one of the evenings, we knocked at the reception to ask for an extra pillow and the family member available at the moment (an elder man) did his best to communicate with us and to provide it.
