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.).

The royal suite is absolutely beautiful and the private deck and jacuzzi gave us all the privacy we ever wanted on our honeymoon. The entire property is exquisitely finished. Breakfast is superb. And the staff are exceptional.

FranceThe bedrooms on the lower floor have the disadvantage of overhearing the noise of the guests having breakfast one floor up, especially as they are moving the chairs around.
Excellent breakfast (home made). View of the sea. Courteous host. Nice and comfortable room.

Breakfast was exceptional, how every morning they welcome us and asked about our previous day and plans for the day, and recommendations of what to do were just heart-melting. The room was beautiful and clean, welcoming cheese board & fruit was just the cherry on top. Print out info in our room about planned activity, load shedding schedule, and weather, love it. Dirk and the whole staff made us feel at home. The view is to die for, really enjoyed our stay at Alexander Guest Home.

The room itself is large, with a large comfy bed and amazing views, well stocked bar and incredibly clean throughout. I can't recommend this place enough, we will be visiting again.

South AfricaThe Property and furniture is a bit dated and cluttered with very bulky curtains. In comparison to some places that we have stayed at over the past year, it was a bit pricey, but the service and care from the host and his staff made up for it.
The location was amazing and the views exceptional. The host and all the staff did not miss a beat, they were incredibly helpful and even made us breakfast packs to take away before our race. The guesthouse was super clean.
