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.).

We loved to stay at the guest house. It was very clean and comfortable. Viola, and her family was very kind and helpful. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom clean and tidy. We did not use the very nice balcony as the weather was very windy during our stay.

FinlandOur recent stay at Viola's place was a delight. The place was mmaculately clean, everything felt brand-new. Highly recommended! But what truly set this stay apart was our host, Viola. Her warm and genuine hospitality made us feel like cherished guests. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, offering helpful tips about the local area and making sure we had everything we needed. Viola’s attentiveness and kindness left an indelible mark on our hearts.

GermanyThe only, really very small drawback was that the house is quite noisy and you sometimes heard the neighbours at night. But that was also absolutely within limits.
Very nicely and comfortably furnished accommodation. Very nice and accommodating hosts - and a cute dog. Fantastic breakfast - all in all a wonderful experience.

South AfricaIf I hadn't taken a taxi, I would have never found the guest house. Make sure you have data so you can use Google Maps or similar! The air conditioner was a little weak in the suite.
Viola was an exceptional host. She went out of her way to make a special breakfast every morning, including on my last morning when I had to leave super early for the airport. The bed and pillows were super comfortable and I loved my little suite and walk-in shower. The communal kitchen was wonderful if you wanted to relax with a cup of tea. Denny, the resident fur-baby and Viola's baby boy were special company whenever I had a chat with Viola, who always made time for me. I felt her Sardinian hospitality and it was the best experience of my whole trip! I would recommend anyone to stay at Contus Retro Guest House for some of this hospitality and I really hope to see Viola and Vitto again someday!

SpainViola and Vitto were so kind and picked us up from the bus station, as the buses weren't running, due to Easter. The apartment is perfect and they have thought of everything. The bed is comfortable and so are the pillows. There is aircon and heating, but we didn't need it, even though it was cold outside, the room was warm. Lots of hanging space, mirrors, shelving, lovely big fluffy towels. The bathroom is nice and big with a lovely big shower with a rain head. There was a lot of room as it had been so cleverly laid out. Big TV on the wall, good wifi and very, very clean. We had the simple breakfast, with tasty homemade cake and coffee, there was also juice, tea etc. Almost next door there is a fabulous Pizza place too. It is only a short walk into town, plus the buses do run down that street, close to the apartment. I would highly recommend staying here and thanks Viola and Vitto for making us feel so welcome and looking after us.
