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.).

NetherlandsNice and comfortable room, very clean. Good shower. Breakfast is great. And the family is very kind and helpful! The area is nice and quiet, it takes some time to get to the city centre because of the heavy traffic. You can park your car easily in front of the villa, they let us park our motorbikes in the gate.

FranceThe location is a bit far from the center, but it is much more calm and easier to sleep on this side of town. Not very many restaurant options nearby. Unable to pay by card for the hotel.
Very comfortable room, powerful air conditioning, mosquito net, hot shower, secure parking -- everything we were looking for!

AustriaThe lights were quite weak so the room was always very dark. There was no trash bin in the room. We were in Ramadan there, so it was in general a problem to get food to eat now outside of super touristic places. On the booking.com website it was written, that the hotel offers also other meals than breakfast (like lunch)...but in Ramadan it seems like they offer no meals at all. This should be written on the website, because some tourist from non-muslim countries maybe expect to eat there and avoid to eat in public. We ordered for one day a breakfast and it looks like that they do not really want to make it. The breakfast was then ok.
The hotel is located at the Pate d'oie, which is quite outside of dakar. There are a few busses which go from there to the city center. For us it was ok, because we did two excursions into Dakar. This place is good to get away from Dakar without going threw the all traffic jam in the city, so we chose this place. The hotel is not really signed visible as a hotel, so we searched for it a little bit. It is the big pink house on the sandy road with the generator in the cage, near the milk shop with the painted cow on the door. The hotel looks nice and the rooms were comfortable. The bathroom was ok and there was also a mosquito net above the bed (big plus!). The host was nice.

United KingdomIt was a little difficult to find but I did arrive at 4.30am and had I arrived during daylight hours, lots of people would have been able to provide directions.
This was such a wonderful place: the owners are so kind and helpful. My stay was very brief and because of long hours, I didn't spend much time there but the room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast was huge and delicious. It felt very homely and nice to come back to after a very hectic day.
