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.).

United KingdomIt is located on a busy road but we didn’t find that to be a big problem.
What a lovely place! Even if you are not into Bonsai the collection was amazing with some specimen more than 100 years old. The owner recommended a fantastic restaurant a few minute walk away that served amazing food at unbelievably reasonable prices.

CanadaI personally didn’t like the mattress, and there seemed to be an electrical issue in our suite. The light in the bathroom, and one of the pot lights in the kitchen area strobed.
This place, with its ancient bonsai plants, koi fish and turtles was so relaxing after the crowded Sintra centre and sights. The staff were very welcoming, and gave a great recommendation on where to dine nearby.

LithuaniaVery nice tranquil place, a good location, fantastic hosts, nice museum with bonsai lovers shop (we spend the additional room price :D). We are very thankful for hosts waiting for us, as we arrived late in the evening. Our room has heating and it was very useful for us because we stayed in spring and the weather is not so warm. Also parking for us was very useful.

The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful and the bonsais are beautiful. Love the sound of water and the smell of nature. Everything was clean and very cute. The parking was a great bonus since we had a rental car and parking in Sintra was a nightmare.

PortugalInternet kept failing at night, wifi and tv signal very poor. We could use darker curtains to keep the light out in the morning, since it was quite bright inside the room as the sun came up. Shower mirror was broken. Still would definitely go back!
We stayed at "Quarto do Japão" that was beautifully decorated with Japanese style. Very comfortable and cozy with ac. Room equipped with complimentary coffee and water. A beautiful private balcony with a view to the entrance where the lakes with the fishes were. Staff super friendly.

United StatesThe bathroom was kind of tight on space. Actually have to sit down cock eyed on toilet due to the vanity/sink being placed three inches away from toilet. Shower was nice and hot(maybe too much so) as it was difficult to regulate temperature. If it were my property I would place the sink directly into the wall and skip the cabinent under it for more leg room.
The Bonsai grounds were very nice and a different experience then boring hotel apartments. Very elegant interior, marble spiral staircase, full functioning kitchen.
