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.).

Saudi ArabiaReaching lower floor rooms might be difficult for those who have some physical issues, so inform hotel in case.
1) The reception / person on charge " Zimran" is brilliant. He would help anytime with proper treatment. Thanks again, everyone. 2) Quiet area, in the middle of nature and 5 minutes drive to waterfront of Kynsna.

LithuaniaRoom was spacious & clean. Host Anita is friendly and caring. We had a nice patio outside, that was perfect to have a glass of wine whilst enjoying the view of the town and lagoon below. View from the breakfast terrace was stunning (day or night). Even tho, the guest house is a bit uphill, we had lovely walk down to the town.

Italyfantastic position viewing the lagoon from well above see level. The apartment is beautiful, well equipped, with big bedrooms and a terrace we unfortunately could not take advantage of because we travelled in winter. The apartment is warm... not everywhere we found the same situation... We used the laundry service; in half a day everything cleaned and ironed at a very reasonable price. Breakfast included served by the fireplace is giving you something invaluable. We will come back if we will visit SA again.

South AfricaThe lounge and dining area should have a fireplace, especially during winter as it was really cold sitting there.t The bedroom lacks decent seating and the positioning of the TV requires attention. A sofa or 2 comfy chairs would have done the trick.
Breakfast was wonderful and prepared very thoughtfully. The view was superb. And so were the staff and manager. I was very pleased that we had a room on the same level and did not have to negotiate any stairs. The manager went out of her way to accommodate our needs, especially preparing breakfast for vegetarians!

United Arab EmiratesThe property is a bit old. On top, no generator or solar so you get really impacted by the loadshedding and any other power disruption. For my 1 night stay, I didnt have power for 8+ hrs so had to resort to charging my phone in the car
The breakfast was amazing. The guest house manager Anneta does a great job in making you feel at home !
