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.).

United KingdomHad an amazing time here with my partner celebrating our anniversary, the room is a hidden gem and I would recommend anyone to stay here. Being so close to Christmas we were lucky enough to have the room decorated with a Christmas tree and Christmas lights. The town has a really nice vibe with some amazing restaurants. We loved it so much we booked to stay an extra night. Thanks for being a great host Shannon, we will be back soon xx

United KingdomIt had been raining and we couldn't enjoy the outdoor terrace as the cushions were soaked. An outdoor storage unit to keep them in and keep them dry would be handy.
Super comfy and cosy apartment. Everything was lovely. Loved all of it, especially the bath, robes and slippers, and the mood lighting and TV that moves, so much nicer than a hotel! Didn't want to leave. The pictures are accurate, but much nicer in real life. My only regret is that I wish it was cheaper so we could stay longer, though worth every penny. Fully recommend.

United KingdomOnly grumble would be there is no parking so unless you want to park a few roads away, it will cost you about a tenner a day but cheaper than parking in a city centre.
A lovely meet and greet by Shannon. Room is immaculate, clean and no expense spared on the decor. Bed is comfy and kitchen fully equipped. Not that you will need the kitchen. Maldon high street is loaded with restaurants. We counted 4 Indians and 3 Chinese’s, not to mention the Italians, Turkish and other easy eating places. There are also many pubs and bars. First morning we had breakfast at the continental which is 2 floors below the room (you can’t hear or smell anything from the cafe). But morning 2&3 we ate across the street at the Oakhouse, great breakfast. We also started our evenings at the Oakhouse with a drink. Please be aware, you will be staying on a buzzing high street, so on a Saturday night expect some noise from the local bars. This didn’t bother us at all. If you’re booking this fantastic suite, a good nights sleep isn’t your first priority. All together a really nice stay and we will be back.

United KingdomNoise from the bar opposite the property was annoying, but the host apologised for this the following day after a discussion regarding this, and that it is something they have been looking to get rectified with the local council for some time.
Absolutely beautiful room. The cleanliness, comfy bed, beautiful rolltop bath, and kitchen area with all amenities covered, even washing up liquid. The host was wonderful, we got stuck in lots of traffic on the journey in, and after emailing regarding this explaining we was running late, she left us a bottle of wine next to the bath which was a lovely gesture. The stay was just phenomenal.
