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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustraliaOn arrival the owner didnt answer the phone number given to me by booking.com and themselves. The power was turned off while myself and others were staying there, as the owner was renovating. They ran out of toilet paper. There was mould on the shower ceiling.
There wasn't much to like about this place.

AustraliaI thought the bathroom and toilet could have been kept cleaner and more well presented, I had the same opinion of my room.also. just needs a little extra touches to make pleasant.
The hosts were really nice people, there was a bit of a language barrier. But they were very lovely.

AustraliaI thought I'd give it a try but found it unliveable. I wish I had read reviews beforehand. I arrived on the property and found a dusty neglected place, with no instructions as to where to get a room key. I finally found it in a room after creeping around what looked like an abandoned crackhouse. Went for a wee, and was punched in the face by the stench of urine. It was as if someone pissed all over the floor and they left it there for weeks. I went to wash my hands and was greeted with a grimy shower with a anti-slip tile blackened from what I would presume to be mould... Okay... that was fine, I've experienced worse... So I went to check out my room, and was gutted that the sheets weren't even clean and my nostrils were full of dust. My door was closed, but I could still smell the intense smell of urine. On top of all this, I did not feel safe... (doors weren't secure) The pictures are worlds apart from the property's current state. Add a blanket of dust and a lengthy time of neglect/wear and tear to everything in the pictures and it'll be more accurate... or less misleading I was fortunate enough to have a friend save me from this situation and offer me a place to stay for the night.
I liked that this experience gave me a great life lesson. I liked that the owner gave me a warning before I got there. A little foreshadowing for what's to come totally excuses the misleading condition of the place... (Please see the message I was sent which is attached).

BelgiumBathroom was dirty and room is not super clean. Even if it is a shared accomodation and cleanliness depends on the guests, the host should be present or better clean between bookins

AustraliaEverything, we did not stay, the property should be demolished, broken windows glass on the ground. collapsing ceiling covered by a tarp. Full bowl of Cigarette butts. And we were told there was only 1 room available when we book 2. A bit late when you are standing out the front with 3 small children after flying and some driving from Brisbane. I also thought asking to upload ID to the owners so that they didn’t let druggies stay was a bit much. Broken pavers outside with sharp bits not good for children. I thought booking.com would have some standards that they let out.
The speed that we were refunded

New ZealandI was shocked by hiw dirty this place was. It was unsanitary and the sheets on my bed had not been changed. I could not even sleep in the bed as the sheets were filthy. I know this place was cheap but I expect clean sheets and pillowcases. There were no staff to assist. The bathroom was filthy and had moldy cloths on the vanity. Even though this place is cheap I do not recommend.

United KingdomFirstly, the place is horrifically dirty. It meets no guidelines, there are no smoke alarms, the bathroom has mould, the kitchen stove is pure filth. The bedroom was not vacuumed, toe nails on the carpet, the walls splatter of all types of mess. This place should not be allowed to house people
Leaving the absolutely filthy residence.
