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.).

HungarySuper cabin exceeding all the expectations! Nice, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything what could be needed (even coffee capsules). Very comfortable, the interior was created with an eye for the practical details. The view is spectacular. We would love to return.

SwedenIf I had something negative to say it would be that the bed was a tad small for 2 people, but a larger bed would not make sense for that room, so it's a tough choice.
Best facilities we have had all across our 9 bookings in Iceland. Washing machine, kitted out kitchen, all in the little house, just wow.

United StatesThe bed was comfortable and a good size but barely fit into the bedroom - there was no room on either side of the bed so you had to climb off the bottom of the bed to get out. Obviously no small table on either side of the bed for your phone or anything else. The bathroom was small but that's expected. The toilet seat cover had an annoying habit of not staying up.
This was a lovely location, on a hillside with a great view across the valley. Nice front porch with a comfortable place to sit. The kitchen had everything you would want and the couch in the living room was very comfortable. The WiFi was excellent and there were sufficient outlets for charging devices. A great place to relax a bit while traveling the country. There was an unexpected clothes washer that we did not use.

A charming cottage equipped with all necessary things, even a coffee machine with coffee capsules . Beautiful location next to the tiny waterfall. Singing Redwings. Comfortable beds in the bedroom and a convertible sofa in the living room. Clean bathroom with a shower. The cabin is small but really cosy. We wished we could stay there longer. Also, the only accommodation from our tour around Iceland which provided a washing machine!

GermanyThat we only stayed one night. 1/10 stars to our travel choices.
Lovely little cabin at the tip of a lake with a nice little mountain behind it. In the middle of nature and it's not far to "the" peninsula and also the mountains on the other side. Great views and the host was super duper friendly and well travelled. Cheers from Berlin.

NetherlandsThe only thing was the distance from the main road and being quite remote in general. It takes 10min drive in a normal car to reach the cabin on a gravel road. Perfectly doable in summer but takes some extra time.
Very lovely cabin. Had everything we needed. There even was a small laundry machine.
