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.).

PolandThe staff were so friendly and helpful, always ready to welcome us and help. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, had quite big balcony and had every stuff that was needed. There is a parking and even if it was full, the staff member helped us find a place to park our car which was so nice. Breakfast was great, had vegetarian options. We really enjoyed our stay there!

United KingdomNothing!
The hotel was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, advising us about taxis and offering to pack us a breakfast up when we left at 4am for the airport. The was a good choice of buffet breakfast and freshly cooked English breakfast, pancakes and omelette. A large suite was available, so we were given a free upgrade, which was amazing. The pool was quite and clean. When the staff knew we were using the pool, the manned the bar and made us cocktails. We never noticed to flyover overhead and the hotel was quite. You do hear and see the occasional plane coming in, but we found that interesting and it's a quite airport. Taxis to and from the airport were less than ten euros and took minutes. Taxis to Funchal cost about 15 euros and took maybe 20 minutes. Download the Bolt app for cheaper Taxis. Walk a minute down the hill, there is a bar and supermarket, then a little square with a range of resources overlooking a church. The beach is a couple of minutes down the hill, although it is a pebble beach.

UkraineWe liked everything from the booking of property to check-out. The location of the hotel, our room which was so comfortable (it is good-sized and has cozy balcony), the exceptional attitude of hotel staff (we were advised what to do in the surroundings -they can also organise trips in surroundings if needed). We had an early flight, so the hotel had prepared for us breakfast at 4 a.m. We would definitely choose Santa Cruz Village Hotel the next time we visit Santa Cruz.

United KingdomWhat they don't mention is the overhead highway passes near the hotel and nearly above the swimming pool. But there is soundproofing along the motorway which is actually very effective, though for a light sleeper you can still hear the morning traffic. However for the location and facilities it wasn't a massive hindrance.
Fantastic staff, good breakfast, clean and comfortable. Close to many great restaurants and the centre of town, and the pebble beach.

New ZealandOur room was small, although we couldn't use the outdoor area because of the rain. Comfortable and modern anyway, so no real complaints. The parking area needed a bit of care for getting out - spaces were smallish and there are a lot of pillars to avoid.
The underground parking was welcome as it was raining heavily when we arrived. The hotel had ramps everywhere, great for luggage with wheels. The people at reception were very good. We stayed here the night before leaving the country and needed to fill our rental car before returning it. We were given directions, which were welcome as the petrol station wasn't on the road out of town.
