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.).

United KingdomNo hot water but it was so warm this wasn't really an issue
Very accommodating staff (kindly gave me a lift to the pier when I was leaving for free), can hire bikes for a small fee, able to organise tours through the accommodation (I did one up mount Phu), big clean room, close to a nice café for breakfast, allowed me to check in early no problem, water provided free of charge, great location in the middle of the island - just 10 min walk to the beach (or a 5 min cycle), responsive on booking.com

IrelandWe had ants on the first night when we came back from dinner without any real reason, no food/drinks in the room. Once we put out some bug resistant bands we didn't have an issue after that.
Very friendly staff. Good location and bikes to rent. We rented bikes most days and the owner let us take them for free for our final day on Jum which was a nice touch. Little front porch with chairs to sit out on in semi-privacy. Loved Koh Jum and enjoyed the location so booked 2 further nights directly with the property. We were able to buy our ferry ticket from the accomodation and the owner dropped us to the pier on the morning we left.

The bungalow is a new one, with everything you need and has a big balcony with a garden so you have your own privacy. Shop, cafe, bar just a few steps, restaurant and beach in walking distance. The owner is a very friendly man! You can pay by card here and can exchange money, and can rent a scooter too. They organise excursions as well so this place has everything you need during your stay. Instead of this is a hostel, the bungalow is highly recommended for a family too (they can put extra bed into it).

PolandIt is a bit of a walk to the beach, but it is in the middle so you can choose which beach you want to go to. At the end if you want to see any other beach, no matter where you stay, you have to rent a bike or motorbike anyway.
I have chosen a bungalow which met my expectations. For a change I wanted to have something like a hotel room, rather that a rustical bungalow. Even though street is next to the bungalow, it was quiet at night as windows have good sound isolation.

SwedenNo bathroom towels, soap or fridge. We missed the fridge since we couldent buy breakfast and keep it cold. Some ants in the room, not a big issue. The airconditioner was a little bit unreliable No common area for cooking or fridges.
The location - Walking distance to different beaches and restaurants, right next to one of the minimarkets. Softest bed we've had in Thailand so far
