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.).

Slovakia...but it is NOT. We booked double room and deluxe double room and they were not comfortable at all. There is no air condition in any room, that means its very hot inside and you have to have always the windows open, which results in a lot of insect inside the room. There is no fridge in the room. There is no door to the bathroom and we had humid smelly air in the room. In the deluxe room is no isolation in the ceiling, which means you can hear every step from the room above and that is really irritating. The beds are super short - maybe 170cm?!! In addition there was a water leaking from the bathroom above us to our room. The standard room was very dark and with bathroom outside, which would be nice, but again without any door. There is sand everywhere around the houses, so it would be helpful to have a small shower next to the terracce to clean your feet. The staff is quite friendly but also very disturbing - there is always someone working next to you or asking you something and we couldn´t just relax. We think that "eco" doesn´t have to mean "uncomfortable" and we were expecting something more, especially for a price tag of 126 USD/ night. So unfortunately this place didn´t match our expectations, but with some improvements it could be really nice place to stay.
Location of Eden rock is amazing - on the rock above the bay with amazing views. The beach is beautiful especially during the low tide. Breakfast is very good and from the restaurant you can also enjoy the beautiful views. This could be a perfect place to chill and relax....

NorwayThe menu and the fact that there was no fan in the room, even when we asked for one. We chose to eat at the nearby restaurant. Low value for money all in all.
Very friendly staff, but the lack of training and coaching is very clear. This is a management issue and a shouldn’t require much at all. Way too many at work at the same time makes the staff unmotivated to perform their best. This place has a great potential. Please make this great staff blossom.

NetherlandsDo not be fooled. Nothing about this place is as advertised. The bed is so short that a 1.65m person can barely fit. A shelve to prevent the flees from entering your suitcase is not a wardrobe. Flies everywhere. Yes, this is indicative of how unclean everything is (bar/restaurant included). The picturesque cove is subject to construction, as are almost the entire grounds (i.e. relaxing is not an option). Swimming is almost impossible due to the jellyfish. Providing your guest with no soap does not make a lodge “eco”. We paid for two nights, but left after one due to the absolutely terrible facilities. The friendly staff cannot make up for the misrepresentation by management.
The staff.
