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.).

AustraliaSome variety in breakfast would be good. Curtain rail seemed about to collapse every time we touched it.
These are modern buildings so quite utilitarian rather than quaint or historic. On the other hand, despite being close to the main road and town, it was super quiet. Many rooms have great views, some of the fjord and also of the apple orchard behind and between the accommodation blocks. There is lots of outdoor seating in the orchard area between the buildings. We booked with shared bathroom and for each group of four bedrooms, there were three showers and three toilets. The bedrooms and bathrooms were super clean despite being somewhat lacking in character. Breakfast had a limited choice selection but there was plenty available and the breakfast room has nice views of the fjord and town. Recommended.

Near the fjord and good hiking trails Though shared bathroom and kitchen, the place is sufficient enough if you have things to do during the day and just need a place to sleep. Room big enough for 2 people. Facilities good!!

AustraliaBreakfast is automatically included (and whilst is good) does make the price a bit high, a non breakfast option would be great. Only a tiny freezer in shared kitchen that said only to be used for ice so no option for freezing food here. Limited parking near room that filled up quickly- was quite a walk and would be unpleasant in bad weather. Shared kitchen didn’t have any paper towel or tea towels or cloths so only option was for people to leave wet dishes in drying racks.
Very quiet room with good blackout curtains which was great for the summer sun. Good bathroom and spacious room with 2 single beds. Shared fridge with two other rooms right outside room and then another also in the shared kitchen. Shared kitchen reasonably well equipped and shared laundry was great. Breakfast is great if you like that being included.

GermanyEverything was up to our expectation.
It's the friendly hostel by the fjord. The atmosphere in the school, which is used as a hostel during summer break, is welcoming, open and international. Sharing the well equipped kitchen for cooking and eating was fun. The rooms are simple, but have everything that's needed. The common bathrooms and toilets were clean. The team at the reception and the kitchen was very friendly. Breakfast was totally fine for the price.
