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.).

IrelandThe codes for the room didn't initially work and it took 20 mins to get in touch with the host. The room was pretty basic, no TV, only 2 pillows for 2 people, and the bathroom was across the hall, but we knew it would be that way when we booked. Don't plan a lie in. The blinds didn't block the light so we had a 6am wake up. The room was very warm so we slept with a window open meaning the 6am wake up had seagulls added into the mix.
Great location, 10-15 mins into town. Cheapest option within walking distance for the Arts Festival. Clean bedroom and bathroom, and the contactless check in system suited us. The cafe downstairs does a good breakfast.

GermanyWe wouldn’t say the bedroom is really suitable for three people, as you loose storage space. It turns out to be a place literally only for sleeping in the end of the day, not a hotel facility for relaxing or etc (keep that in mind for your travel purpose!).
Super well located, easy communication with host. Great bathroom, although outside of the bedroom.

United KingdomVery little in the room other than the bed, so there was a general lack of comfort. Very basic, not even a mirror. Seemed over-priced given the lack of amenities.
The bed was comfortable although having a bunk bed across it made it a bit claustraphobic. The bathroom was spacious.

The location was excellent, very close to the cathedral and Latin Quarter walking district. The proprietor was very helpful when we had a glitch in our accommodation.

AustraliaThe separate bathroom probably needed a lock for Room 2, the WIFI didn’t work but luckily we connected to the downstairs cafe, and there weren’t any small facilities like fridge/kettle/hair dryer.
Self-catering and cafe were great. Good for a night or two stay.
