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 KingdomOn the negative side, the chairs in the kitchen are poorly assembled, we had to fix the bolts ourselves so that we could sit on them. And they also did not figure out how the overhead shower works. Used small. And the water temperature was difficult to adjust, it was either hot or cold. In general, everything is fine.
We liked that the whole house was at our disposal and that there was a kitchen where you can cook your own food. Also nearby are the necessary supermarkets and a bus stop, a park.

United KingdomThe issues didn't stop there: Heating malfunctioned, leaving us shivering despite assurances of a functional system. Kitchen was filthy and unusable, with broken cabinets adding to the disarray. Unfinished painting and decor created an unprofessional and uncomfortable environment. Missing ironing board was just another inconvenience on top of the existing problems. This property falls far short of even basic expectations. It was, without a doubt, the worst accommodation I've ever encountered. If you're looking for a reliable and comfortable stay, I urge you to look elsewhere. This property is not suitable for families, contractors, or anyone seeking a pleasant and hassle-free experience.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS: "Perfect" Stay Turned Nightmare for Families and Contractors Headline: AVOID AT ALL COSTS: "Perfect" Stay Turned Nightmare for Families and Contractors Review: Our stay at this property, advertised as "perfect for families and contractors," was anything but. Stranded in the freezing cold for over an hour with no response from the host, who then proceeded to rudely accuse us of financial issues despite prior confirmation of the damage deposit. This is unacceptable treatment for any guest, let alone families with young children or contractors relying on reliable accommodation.

United KingdomAdvertised as a family friendly property. Far from it. Hot water did not work. Broken mirror in the bathroom. The garden was massively overgrown, completely unsafe for children to go out to. Bathroom wasn't clean. Wet items left in the washing machine. Broken items in the garden. Overall pretty terrible.
The property was conveniently located to where we needed to be. Also had a drive allowing off street parking.

United KingdomFound blood on duvet cover and hairs in bed sheet and stain on sheet, the garden is a tip at the front, the mirror in bathroom is broken, the cooker hood is cracked, my sister had to sleep on the sofa as she wouldnt sleep in the bed - for the money we paid it was very disappointing as the picture looked lovely. we had to tune the tv in as it wasnt connected and programmed in. Lack of towels for 4 of us also we had to complete a guest verification email and i put my own personal email on but they still kept sending emails to my work email

United KingdomThere was lots of snags in the property that was photographed and sent to the owner as soon as we checked in due to us paying the £300 security deposit, they responded immediately to say they were aware of the problems
Nothing. We had to check out a day early, I have contacted the property on three separate occasions requesting a refund for the one night and the security deposit back, I've been ignored

United KingdomPhotos make it look better than it is in reality. It said there was a Hive thermostat but there wasn’t, it was a traditional one that was ancient and the heating didn’t work downstairs at all. There was liquid on the floor under the sofa, torn vinyl flooring in the lounge, kitchen was very tired, knives were blunt, mirror in the bathroom was broken, towel rail falling off the wall, and the strange launderette operation taking place in the garage made it feel less welcoming.
Comfortable enough and did the job for an overnight stay whilst visiting a nearby venue.

United KingdomPoor communication from the host. Said they were moving us to another property then changed their minds but didn’t communicate with us. When we tried to message them to discuss the issues they replied once then ignored all of my subsequent messages & didn’t try to contact us as requested. We booked for 6 people yet only 4 towels were left meaning 2 of us were unable to shower in the morning. The bedding for the sofa bed was used & not clean - thankfully we had a sleeping back in the car. The house was very hot and windows upstairs did not open. The garden was a tip with rubbish bags left lying around & litter everywhere. House had a musty smell of cigarettes and the floor was filthy. Would not recommend. Couldn’t check in till after 3pm and had to leave by 10am the next morning! I was embarrassed to ask my friends to pay for such a shoddy stay. I’ve stayed in better student accommodation!
