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.).

United KingdomFelt slightly damp after using the shower, which was wasn’t an issue for us as the weather was hot and this disappeared quickly. It might be a consideration in cooler months when it would be harder for the moisture to evaporate.
Basic clean room in a great central location, 10-15 min walk from the historic centre.

CanadaThe only thing they need to fix is the air conditioner system as it made a loud knocking sound every 30 seconds or so, at least in our room it did. Probably a minor fix, maybe it already has been fixed.
The new bathroom is spacious and excellent and location is also very good, away from the heavy tourism crowd but everything is easily walkable on both sides of town. It's a few separate rooms on the same floor but all private and the staff were very friendly and communicated really well. Beds were very comfortable and would stay there again.

AustraliaOpening the sliding door we had an unpleasant sewer type-smell. Luckily we didn’t need to keep that open. The bathroom could use a stronger exhaust as everything remained damp including the toilet paper.
The room size and comfort was great. The shower pressure was really good and nice and hot. Lots of choice of different kinds of cuisine and price points to choose from very close. A nice cafe/bakery right next door. Parallel street to the train station. With doors closed we were not affected by any noise either from street or trains. The hosts were super responsive and very helpful with any request. It would be nice to have a kettle in the room but that is a small matter as they have a shared kitchen that has everything you would need. We particularly liked our room 1 as it was ground floor.

NetherlandsMy room (#1) had all the convenience of a hotel room but felt damp. It's probably just how the building is... which is out of the hosts' hands.
Location. From the train station, take the stairs opposite, turn to the right and your're there. Just around 5 minutes to the center of town. Convenience. You get a message from the hosts with codes to get in. The place has a common kitchen on the first floor (2nd floor for Americans) with a fridge, water heater, toaster and coffee maker. It gives access to a common terrace . Tania provides coffee pods, tea, biscuits and cookies. There's a cafe nextdoor if you want to take it easy. Wifi worked well. Communication and friendliness. Tania was very quick to answer questions through WhatsApp. I met her and she's friendly and very service-oriented. I would recommend and book again should I travel back to Sintra. Thank you, Tania

United KingdomNothing, really. You couldn’t call it luxurious, but then it was relatively inexpensive and was pleasant and welcoming. The kitchen was a little sparsely equipped, but ok for drinks etc.
It was a spacious room,clean and fresh, and located near the centre of the town, though far enough away to avoid the crowds of daily visitors. The shared kitchen was useful. A brilliant location, and I would advise getting a room at the front if you can. It looks out over the street to lots of green and eventually the sea. The road is busy during the day but quiet in the evening and at night. Some excellent cafes and bars nearby, and the railway station is a short walk away.

Hong KongI observed that the guesthouses in Portugal do not have a ventilation system in the washroom. However, the steam dissipated rapidly when I opened the windows.
The house appears to be in excellent condition, with the owner mentioning that it underwent renovations just two years ago. The bedroom and bathroom are tidy, roomy, and inviting, each equipped with sizable windows. Despite the proximity of the windows to the common area, there was only one guest during my stay. The kitchen provides necessary utensils. The location is exceptionally convenient, just a brief three-minute walk from the train station.

United StatesAt night, we can hear the train sometimes. Not loud but if you are a light sleeper like me, you may want to take the ear plugs.
Location is good and convenient, closing to the bus station and train station. It only takes 10 minutes to get to city center and has many restaurants, cafes, grocery store within a couple minutes. Host is very helpful and responsive. We were allowed to check in early and they have a storage for us to store our luggage after we checked out.

CanadaThe bathroom is small and shower box only fit for standing and turning with caution. It took a while to get hot water through the shower head. Otherwise all good.
Very close to Sintra train station. Short cut with stair could take less than 5 mins. It did save quiet energy and time to carry the luggage walking around. I did not meet anyone in person but received very clear instructions on how to get in, where to store the luggage, WiFi password. As I arrived early and had reserved time slot to Pena palace, it was important for me to settle these matters quickly. I appreciate it. Room is big and clean and had a small welcome box. It has a full kitchen with sitting tables and chairs and exit to a nice courtyard. Sad I did not have time for cooking but used it for coffee and tea.
