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.).

IndiaThe breakfast was a bit light for my preference.
Extremely spacious rooms and bathrooms. Well maintained lawn where my wife and I played with volleyball in the evening. There is a heater to make the night comfortable. The staff were very helpful and informative. Very close to the grand hotel.

GermanyOur host was really nice and always happy to help us out! He also prepared a good breakfast every day - even as take-away if you have to leave early. The rooms are big and clean and have everything you need. I think there was only one outlet in the room (plus the bathroom) so we couldnt charge our phones by the bed but that is probably the definition of "first world problems", so... 😃 The hotel is a few walking minutes away from the "city center" which we personally liked as it was really nice and quiet - in contrast to the rather hectic city.

AustriaRooms furniture seemed used (curtains not clean) but for the price it was absolutely ok
Nice big room with clean bathroom, the accommodation has 4 rooms and we were the only guests during our 1 night stay. This felt a bit weird as it is a bit older house in general but nothing against the accommodation. Just 5-7min walk to our favorite cafe: Grand Cafe.

AustraliaThere was absolutely nothing that I didn’t like about the property.
From the moment you arrive at Villa Cassandra you know that you are going to have a wonderfully enjoyable stay as you are greeted with a lovely smile by the delightful professional manager, Mr Lalendra. The property is absolutely spotless, rooms are so big, comfortable, full of character and extremely private. Lounge and dining area very tastefully decorated and a great place to relax with other travellers. Breakfast is not only delicious and in abundance, but presented to perfection. Lalendra’s attention to detail is commendable, as is his attentiveness and desire to provide comfort to his guests. The garden is also beautifully maintained and a credit to Lalendra. The location is so perfect, walking distance to Victoria Gardens, racecourse, Lake Gregory and a short stroll to the golf course. I can’t wait for a return visit to one of the best accommodations I have experienced and if you are ever in Nurawareliya go and visit Mr Lalendra and the beautiful Villa Cassandra, you will not be disappointed.

AustraliaDreadful management who seemed to be after money and not honouring a booking made on booking.com.
We didn’t. We booked 2 rooms for 2 couples on the 6th Jan for 1 night. I communicated many times with the owner on booking.com regarding driver accommodation and other facilities, to which he responded immediately. We arrived there inafter travelling for 6 hours on the 21/7 and found the gate locked and was yelled at by a little kid for entering the property. After being contacted by a neighbour, someone arrived and told us that he was the cleaner and had no idea about our booking and that the place was fully booked. He rang the manager numerous times, and eventually was informed by the manager that he didn’t have a booking for us and then hung up. We were also informed that he had rented the place for 2 weeks to someone else. We had to immediately find another place for the night at 5 pm.

BelgiumNuwara Eliya is quite more expensive than the rest of the cities we visited, but it is a general comment.
Well located considering that Nuwara Eliya is quite a small town. It is just outside of the city centre, quick access to famous Grand Hotel. Room was clean, very spacious, coffee/tea available in the room + other equipment (iron, scale ;), etc). The bathroom was well equipped, very nice shower with nice pressure and hot water. Breakfast was quite fulfilling with different choices according to taste. All in all a great homestay, we felt comfortable.

NetherlandsWhen we arrived at the hotel the room that we booked was not available. We had to wait in the lobby and thought our room was being prepared so we did not mind the waiting in the beginning. However, after 30 minutes we were told that instead of a king deluxe room upstairs, our only option was to stay in the twin bed room downstairs. The room was basic and the washroom was dated. At night the room was not dark at all (very thin curtain with stains) and in the morning we were woken very early by the host/people talking and later by all the guests coming down and having breakfast. This was not what we expected reading all the good reviews - but is in line with the previous bad reviews.
The beds were fine, location was nice and breakfast was okay.
