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.).

GermanyWe booked the cottage with lake view but we got first the cottage at the opposite, near the road. I had to explain at the reception, they said we booked cheeper cottage and need to pay more, which was really not the case. Finally we got another cottage with lake view.
Cottage was equipped with everything you need incl. Dishwasher. Perfect location with lake view. It is a big holiday village with many attractions but we were only one night and didn't use them.

South AfricaOur "motel room" had a well equipped kitchenette, bathroom and a deck with a lovely view over the fjord. The campground was quiet, though this is because we were there before schools had broken up.

TurkeyNothing.
The location and cabin experience was very good. It had a clean kitchen, clean sofa and dining area. Although the beds are little worn out, they were ok. The cabins are relatively old i guess so one should not expect top quality furnishing and brand new ikea beds. Sheets and pillow covers were provided as disposable ones upon entry. SO it was very good. But one sees bare beds and pillows may think than its not so clean. Since they are relatively aged it would be wiser for hotel to put sheets themselves and charge it up to the customer. I would love to stay few more days but we did not have time. I suggest this place to everyone. Cabin can accomodate 6 adults in 2 rooms with triangular bunk beds. (2 bottom 1 up)

SwedenWhile the kitchen had plenty of cutlery and earthenware, we found the assortment of pans somewhat limiting. There are essentially no grocery stores nearby that are open on Sundays, so a last-minute change in dinner plans can be problematic. Likewise, since we stayed at the end of August, most of the nearby restaurants were closed. There were a few places open still in Risor, but that's a good twenty to thirty minute drive. Likewise, many of the holiday park's own amenities were closed already, including the restaurant and the swimming pool. While we did venture out into the sea, the distressing number of jellyfish floating around kept us confined to our kayak and paddleboard. The provided pillows and blankets looked old and thin, but luckily we brought our own. That did not help much with the fairly hard matrass. Confounding this, the bedrooms had this odd one-and-a-half bunkbed that is quite common in Scandinavia, and I really wish it wasn't. The lower bunk is just big enough for two people if you squish together, but the wooden steps that lead to the upper bunk are positioned in just such a way that you'll bang your shins against them in the middle of the night. While the bathroom was clean, this too was austere to a fault. No hand soap, an old plastic showerhead, toilet-paper so thin you can read the newspaper through it. Not even a fan to air it out, so it stayed damp pretty much for our entire stay.
We rented a two-bedroom cabin at the holiday park, and found it to be a pretty typical example of such cabins (or stuga) in holiday parks around Scandinavia. Everything is fairly simple, austere even, but clean and functional. Even with four people, we never ran out of hot water for the shower, we had plenty of space to sit, and the kitchen was small but functional. Dinner on our balcony overlooking the fjord was quite excellent indeed. During our stay, we hiked up the nearby mountain for a breathtaking view over the peninsula, and we rented a kayak and paddleboard from the reception to enjoy the nearby waters. It is a nice and quiet area, with enough to see and do to stay entertained.

NorwayNo handsoap in studio apartment. Small flat pillows. Wanted to rent extra pillows, but they don't have it.
The Camp is quite big and crowded, but nothing surprising because we was on July. Sadly if you wish rent a boat have book it as early as possible. We couldn't try it out because everything was fully booked. Studio nothing fancy, but clean and well equipped. Just for my surprise there wasn't any handsoap, so I bought myself. Stange because not first my rodeo in Camps and always there is some. Restaurant is simple with 6-7 pizza options and some starters. If you don't have your own food then it's okay. But for nice dinner not worth it.
