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.).

NetherlandsIt is relatively far from the centre, more than an hour walk (or 15 mins drive if you have a car) and in the neighbourhood there is not that much. We really didn’t mind though, as we just stayed here for a transit.
Such a lovely place! Vicki and her daughter are extremely welcoming and nice to talk to, we felt right at home. The bed is very comfortable and it is just a 15 mins drive from the airport. We hope to stay here again some time!

United KingdomWhen we stayed it was 32°C in Christchurch, when we arrived at the B&B our room was in the direct sunlight so was absolutely boiling! There was a fan in the room, but obviously no A/C, so we really struggled to cool the room down to be able to comfortably sleep. 95% of the year this wouldn’t be an issue, it was just we were there on one of the hottest days of the year!! The room is effectively just a bedroom in her house, rather than what you would think of a typical B&B, initially it was strange going into her house on our own (while she was out so left the key for us) but it was absolutely fine, if she was in it probably wouldn’t have seemed unusual. But all in all it was no problem. We weren’t looking for anything fancy, just somewhere to sleep before going to the airport. So do recommend. We had our own key and the room was secure. It’s almost just like staying with a friend or an aunty or something!
Vicki’s place is lovely. Bed was comfortable, shower and bathroom were great. Breakfast was lovely in the morning. Vicki is very sweet and lovely to chat to.

United KingdomCan't think of anything.
Vicki gave us a warm welcome on our arrival and we immediately felt at home. She made us a cup of tea and chatted to us as she prepared a meal for friends. Our room was very clean and comfortable and we were welcome to use the kitchen any time we wanted to. We liked the location , which was in a quiet suburb, but also in easy reach of shops and restaurants. It was also just 15 minutes or so from the airport. Vicki was a lovely host, and nothing was too much trouble. She really made us feel welcome and we highly recommend staying at Heart of Fendalton B & B. You won't be disappointed.
