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.).

New ZealandNothing could have been better. Stopped in on the way to Akaroa and the owner happened to be there, as our SILO was ready we were allowed to check in early. Super helpful and friendly.
A very unique stay. Great that you can turn SILOs in to such exciting, minimalistic, high end accommodation. Every one should experience this . Walked out of there with some great ideas.

GermanyCould use a comfy chair - the beanbag is a bit rough on the older bones. But honestly that just a personal preference hehe.
What a great concept! Felt so cozy! Loved the instruction booklet - bring your humour ☺️. I really enjoyed the size of the kitchen too. Everything is well thought out. Met with the staff on the way out and she was so lovely to chat with.

AustriaCleanliness could be improved. I do understand that you can't reach every corner in a silo due to the height but it should be possible to remove spiderwebs e.g. above the shower. Faucets did not close properly without the use of some force, might need some TLC.
A very unique experience, staying over-night in a silo. Ours (Nr. 2) was indeed a silo, reachable via stairs, and consisted of 2 levels. 1st level: toilet, kitchenette (fridge, microwave, toaster, electric kettle and 2 hobs) plus a small table with two chairs. 2nd level was bedroom and bathroom (with shower and sink). The latter were separated via clear glass panels from the bed (personally not a fan of those clear glass panels but that's me). One balcony on each level. In the morning we had a lovely view of the countryside. Some unique details and ideas were to be found throughout the silo, overall very industrial-looking which we liked. Free Wifi and free parking. There is a charger for Tesla EVs on-site but there is also a charger for other EVs (like ours) next door at the cafe. Cafe and restaurant (open Fri/Sat/Sun) close-by. Very detailed information provided by the hosts, beforehand and in the silo - great sense of humour! Hosts also very thoughtful as 1. they left a hand-written note for us on arrival (it's self-check-in and -out) and 2. - and this was even more appreciated as it was a cold evening - the silo was warm and cozy due to them turning the heating on before our arrival!

This has to be the most ingenious use of a small space for accommodation I've ever seen! Clever design and with nothing lacking. Check-in - check-out process a breeze. Didn't see the owners - didn't need to.

AustraliaThe 'car radio/music player/clock' went off about 3am. This was difficult to operate. Narrow allocated car parking spaces.
Silo Stay is a really unique place to stay. Great kitchen set up. Very comfy. Toggle switches for lights was a good idea. Opening the roof up was a whole new concept to letting fresh air in ! Enjoyed the fun communications from the owners !
