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 regions, 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.).

SlovakiaEven though the room had closed windows, we could hear people/staff talking un the yard as if they were in our room. The bathroom was basically part of the room, only divided from the room by thin tempered glass wall so you could hear everything and partially see the person in the bathroom as well. Even though I spent the night there with my husband, we would appreciate more privacy in the bathroom. But I think you got what you've paid for. The whole hotel and spacious yard seemed a bit dated, but it's ok for one-two nights.
Comfy bed, several washing machines and driers available for free, many options in breakfast buffet.

All the comforts you need while traveling and none of the unnecessary comforts. The bunnies and the goldfish in the courtyard were a special delight. Excellent location, walking distance to shops and food and the beach.

Czech RepublicWe informed the property we will arrive between 2-3pm. We arrived at 3pm and our rooms were still not ready. We did not have to wait too long but after all day of traveling last thing you want to do is wait for your room. The facilities are not as new as they seem in the pictures. We had 1 rooms and 1 did not even have a proper bathroom door that would close. The cleanliness was also a bit questionable. Also the room was facing the garden so it was a bit loud when someone was passing by and talking. No mosquito nets which I understand is maybe not that necessary in this time of the year but makes you just feel safer. The lounge was a bit of a disaster to be honest for the prices they charge there - 30$ for a whatever wine is too much even for Europe. No cold wine; dirty glasses; they always had only 1 cold drink - 1 cold coke; 1 cold Fanta; 1 cold sparkling water.
The staff was very nice. The breakfast was delicious.

United KingdomWifi does not work well and some rooms may be noisy.
Great location. Great price. Fantastic continental breakfast. Lovely sitting area with a beautiful garden and a swimming pool with bunnies and fish to enjoy. Rooms are large enough and come with a fridge and a kettle. Staff super friendly and accommodating. There is no restaurant in the hotel but there are plenty of good options nearby, including a Thai massage center in front which I tried and would definitely recommend. Will definitely come back!

GermanyThe dinner in the restaurant could be prepared a bit better. Octopus was prepared dry like a kebab and without any additional vegetables. Probably photos to the menu could help the customers.
Decent breakfast including fruits, Cornflex with milk, as well as changing day-by-day dishes (pancakes etc). Well renovated rooms, fish in aquarium and rabbits with the garden and the pool add the value to your stay. European pictures in the hotel make you feel like at home :)
