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 StatesBeing the first room off the common space you can hear people if they're noisy. We did actually receive our combination to our room correctly, but our email told us we were in the room next door so only some difficulties when we arrived
Everything was recently remodeled and looks really great. Lovely little kitchen/common space that had fresh baked muffins and some other snacks available. Easy to get in and easily walkable through town. The host was also very friendly and helpful and makes sure breakfast items stay stocked

AustraliaUnusual smell in guesthouse and we didn’t get the exact room we booked.
The room was average and unfortunately was not the room we booked (was meant to have a desk in it). The guesthouse had an unusual smell but overall it was clean. Great location and the receptionist was lovely.

SwitzerlandWe sometimes washed the dishes before using them.
Very good location: Calm but still near the supermarket and the lake. Ideal to visit Dimmuborgir, Hverir and Krafla. Taking the shoes off at the entrance keeps the corridor and rooms clean. Simple building (probably earthquake-safe) with corridors of ca. 4 rooms sharing kitchen and bathrooms. The rooms were comfortable and the kitchen agreeable, with table for 4 and a large Icelandmap, and made us relax after slippery but scenic walks to waterfalls, lava and steam. We were happy to get a room close to the parking.

CanadaOne thing to note is that there are few toilets for the number of people - So in the morning, if people are showering and you need to use the toilet, it can be uncomfortable.

United KingdomWe found there were enough bathrooms for us, but only 2 of the 4 rooms were full. If all 4 were full, the 2 bathrooms probably wouldn't be enough. The same with the kitchen area, it was fine for 5 people sharing, but it would have been small if the other two rooms were full.
We booked last minute as we were unable to get to our other accommodation, but the place was nice. Comfortable warm room with our own sink and nice views out the window. Bathrooms and kitchen were also clean, and kitchen was well equipped.

United StatesOne thing to note is that there are few toilets for the number of people. Where we were, there were four rooms - 10 people - and two bathrooms. So in the morning, if people are showering and you need to use the toilet, it can be uncomfortable. My party ended up leaving a day early through no fault of the guesthouse - and I completely understand that they didn't refund our stay but I was disappointed that they did not refund the prepaid breakfast for the second morning when we weren't there. While there is certainly no obligation for them to refund breakfast, it would have been great customer service if they had done so.
The location of this place is great, just a block or two from the lake. The reception staff are very friendly and the breakfast was probably the best one we had in the two weeks were were in Iceland.
