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.).

CanadaThat the room I stayed in had long term people living there. Their stuff was everywhere, they were very entitled. I was there for one night and they had turned the lights of at 830 I'm a person to have my stuff ready for when I leave early in the morning so that I don't wake anyone up. This made it hard, I heard grumbling in the morning when I had to leave. I think that the guests living there should have their own room to themselves if they don't like travellers stopping in.
The staff were amazing and friendly. Clean spacious bathrooms, hot water. Comfy beds. Quiet

Czech RepublicThis might have been the best managed hostel I have ever stayed in. The staff were extremely friendly, attentive, helpful, and welcoming. I could see them diligently peddle around the place to keep everything clean, shiny, and in a perfect shape. (They have secret doors to enter and leave rooms unobserved!) Everything was super clean and working all the time, from shiny bathrooms, to spotless linen, clean floors and tabletops. The common room is beautiful, with large wooden tables and floors, spacious and bright. Kitchen is well equipped and extremely well thought through, everything works and is in a good shape. Breakfast is a classical Portuguese staple self-service, while everything is carefully replenished all the time. Hostel is also very well located, a 5 minute walk to the bus station, and within the old town. (If You ever thought of what a well designed and tested code would look like, if it were a hostel, think no more.)

ItalyNo privacy curtains around the beds, shaky bunks. The pillows and blankets are paper thin, I woke up freezing and took the upper bunk duvet, was told off by a receptionist the next day, totally inappropriate. Breakfast is VERY basic and the receptionist keeps walking around, it's a little uncomfortable, you're being watched all the time(there are CCTV cameras everywhere also)
Beautiful historical building in the heart of old Evora, super clean everywhere, nicely decorated and furnished, attention to detail, everything is so well kept and tidy, fully equipped kitchen and lovely living area. Heaters in the lounge and bedrooms but not in the bathrooms. Welcoming owner, very comfortable homely feel.
