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.).

Finland+++ Comfy retreat from the city. Hammock and all. +++ Breakfast, staff Of course there are animals and some critters in the "farmland" type of ecosystem where the inn is. Maybe a little chilly in the night. Drive is actually NOT bad with sedan type of car as long as there is not much incoming traffic. Refrigerator/water kettle in the room would be nice add-on.

United KingdomWe stayed at a house at the bottom of the hill and the more distance from the goats house the better. But we could see it had been shielded and everything was sparkling clean.
Dario, partner and the rest of the staff are fantastic, very attentive and genuinely kind, knowledgeable about local attractions and walks. The facilities are being very well kept, good rooms and various parking area. The restaurant was excellent for dinner, open every evening, we ate there several times, lots of freshly prepared food, local ingredients including various game and others. The menu had 6 or more specials and was gradually changing. The house wine including prosecco and other drinks were great. Everything was very reasonably priced. Breakfast had a lot of choice, machines for coffees, teas, cooked eggs, cereals, various breads, pastries, cakes, fruit, yogurts. The eating area was very well decorated and pleasant. The winding road access up the mountain was better than we expected, the road is kept in very good shape.

SwitzerlandI only took off some points because of the narrow, steep access road, and the steep "climb" from the lower guesthouse to the main building/restaurant. I am a hiker, but for some people, it can be a bit difficult, and I believe guests should be notified beforehand.
The peaceful, pretty location, the quality of the food.

SwitzerlandAll was good, please keep it up and we will be back:)
La Fonte di Mariella is a very nice Agriturismo place up far up on the hill, but very quiet, pieceful and located in the middle of the beautiful nature, surrounded by chestnut trees. The owner is very nice, friendly and helpful. It is also very nice to go for walks/hiks and do other outdoor sports up there, like e-mountainbiking. The room was very clean and comfortable with a nice place to sit outside and enjoy the wonderful autumn day. The food was great (dinner and breakfast). We were offered a dinner menu for an affordable price with plenty of food and four courses. There are also cats (even with small kiddens, awww) to play with and two donkeys. The owner sells very tasty honey directly harvested from his bees at his place with different flavors (i.e. from chestnut trees). We liked very much to stay there and will always come back again in the future to calm down in the nature for a few days.

Mauritiusvery good a la carte food, try the 3 fishes as a starter, fabulous. The bedroom is at a 3 minutes walk, not in the mainhouse, which we preferred, because more quiet and nice little walk. Small bedroom with balcony, we slept very well. We bought some homemade honey, miam! We'd love to come back!

RomaniaIt could have been a bit cleaner (on the bathroom ceilings was plenty of spider-webs), and a bit more careful with the breakfast (the bread was brought up every time after we sat to the table, when the host saw, eventually, us (even though it was a buffet-like breakfast, and the bread slices were... not freshly cut). And the internet worked poorly, the network wasn't visible many times and in late-night we lost the internet connection for good until next morning.
Very nice location high above the lake Como. Silence, fresh air, birds singing, big room, nice bathroom, everything (including the dining room) very spacious, pretty close to the lake and with stunning sightseeing over the mountains, and over the lake Como (from the descending road towards the lake).

RomaniaIt's a place difficult to reach out very high in the forest. Once we arrived we didn't want to go near the lake anymore due to the difficult uphill road. Although the fresh air is welcomed especially after a hot day, the humidity from the air is making the room cold and in one of the rooms the sheets were humid. The rooms had basic things ( there is no fridge) One of the other disadvantages of taking a room in the forest is having bugs in the room. Since there is no fridge to place any food you might have, we ended up with ants all over.
It's a remote and quiet place on the country side, I would dare to they that it's in the forest. If you like to see animals and you're a fan of nature and eco stuff you're going to enjoy it. Since it's away from the next house it is quiet and peaceful, you can hear the birds singing. You also have the possibility to have a consistent dinner and local wines if you wish to. The host is welcoming and attentive

GermanyNice countryside getaway in the lovely mountain village, Dosso del Liro, from the busy towns around Lake Como. Best place to stay for hikers. You can hike to Monte Piaghedo and get stunning views of Lake Como. Narrow serpentine roads lead you to the farmhouse for 20minutes by car from the lake. Some rooms are accesible with stairs. Parking spaces on the road also available. Clean rooms. Good food. Good wine. Very welcoming staff.
