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 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.).

SpainSadly no kitchen facilities, but a good continental type breakfast was included in the price. Shared bathroom.
Beachside location, with private terrace overlooking the sea. Very helpful English-speaking staff. I booked late for New Year's Eve and had to pay for a private twin room, but the view from there was outstanding, looking SW into the setting winter sun across the beach and sea. Perfectly situated room to enjoy fireworks at midnight in my underpants, and yet, with the window closed not too noisy thereafter. Plenty of places to hang clothes in my room. Worth 9.5/10 thanks to the sea view.

PortugalThere wasn't iron available, and if you are looking for a calm place to sleep in the summer it can be a problem since the bars stay open with music and people being laughing all the night. The breakfast is very simple, don't raise your expectations.
The location is perfect, beach front, apartment has a good size for 4 people. It's a very simple hostel but I really enjoyed the stay.

IrelandThere was a lot of noise at night time from inside the accommodation, as well as it being extremely hot in our room making it difficult to sleep. The pillows were very small and uncomfortable giving a sore neck in the morning.
The location was great! The staff were very friendly and accommodating!

GermanyThe proximity to the Atlantic means that the sound of the waves is very loud. But it drowned out the other tour groups and we were able to sleep well :)
The location of the youth hostel right on the Atlantic is amazing. Super friendly staff. The apartment is basic, but we knew that and it wasn't a problem. There is even a simple breakfast and a great terrace. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby.

PortugalWell I guess I didn’t expect much paying 60€ however that still doesn’t change the outcome - the room we had was right next to the reception so it was insanely loud all throughout the night. the floors were dirty & there were bugs on the floor! we didn’t use a blanket because there were someone’s hairs on it leaving two people having to sleep in one single bed, it spelt awful in there! Not to mention the receptionist INSTEAD of checking the system to see that we booked our room she started knocking on our door at 3am to see if anyone was there to help some random guy who needed a room last minute - awful!

AustriaDespite having booked months in advance I received the room for mobile impaired, which was right next to the reception and a sliding door that barely sealed neither noise nor light. Throughout the entire night I could hear everything going on at the public area, especially after an extremely loud group arrived at late evening and continued so until 2am and started again at 7am.
