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.).

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have a room with a double bed instead of two rooms with bunk beds. As my husband and I could not manage the steps up to the loft we had to have separate rooms and each sleep on a lower bunk. Our younger family slept in the loft. It was quite small for 4 adults.
We liked the cleanliness, the very comfortable sofa and the bedding and pillows were great. It was lovely to have the hot tub ready for us to use. Nice bathroom and good heating.

CanadaThe location is quite remote and parts of the access road were rough (there was some gravel too on the road to the south). We were there in the summer, but I imagine it's fantastic for viewing the Northern Lights in the winter!
It was a lovely cabin. While the cabin is small, there is a lot of space to relax. There were two bedrooms and an open loft upstairs with 2 more beds. There are other cabins but there is plenty of space between them, so there is a lot of privacy.

AustraliaHad a slight issue finding the property but as soon as we entered the exact gps co-ordinates given to us by host it navigation system took us straight there!
Such a unique place to stay. Bunk beds worked great with the children and me and my wife slept upstairs. Great to have a quick hot tub first thing in the morning before heading off for the day.

United StatesOnly downside is that the location was a little further from the town than we had expected, and quite far off of the ring road.
The cottage was comfortable, beautiful, and spacious - we loved seeing our host's artwork on the walls! The hot tub was also lovely and we appreciated that it was set up for us to use. Everything was very clean and the furnishings were very comfortable.

United StatesIt took us awhile to figure out how to lock and unlock the door, but this occurred at other places as well, so we attribute it to a difference from what we're used to, not to anything the host was responsible for.
Retrieving the keys from the lock box was easy and quick, adjacent to the door.
