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 KingdomThe way the toilet is placed meant having to sit at an angle to avoid the sink, but I guess the plumbing made it tricky to add the ensuite bathrooms without some compromises. Keep it in mind if you're big-bodied, as the shower cabin is also quite narrow. It was fine for me, but I am quite small.
Good location, close to bus stops, though most days I did walk to the Old Town, as it takes 40 minutes to walk to Edinburgh Castle, and other locations are even closer (so roughly half an hour to most places), very quiet, and Neil, the landlord, is very friendly and available for a chat or advice on places to visit. Would definitely stay there again.

FranceNot a lot of communication with the Hosts, it is more like an hotel than a B&B
Small room (I took the single one) but with everything needed. Quite good situation as I dont mind (and even really appreciate) walking (around 30min to get to the old town) but there are buses too. I enjoyed having some tea and hot water in the room. Private bathroom was good and quite big for a single room.

AustraliaThere needs to be a room for dining - given the inclement weather, it's probable that during one's stay, one will want to eat at least one meal indoors.
Room was comfortable and quiet, warm with good facilities. Location was brilliant, easy to get into town, with side-street parking available. Would definitely recommend.

NetherlandsBathroom was generally clean but wall next to the sink wasn't cleaned properly. It takes time to reach the center, if you have things planned there you should consider the bus times.
Convenient, quite small but comfortable and fairly clean place. Not very close to the town center but has pleny of off-the-beaten-track food/drink/grocery options nearby. There are many bus lines available passing through the neighbourhood, it takes about 20-25 mins to the heart of the city with all the traffic. Overall, good stay.
