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.).

ItalyThe rooms can use some renovations, our room was smelling of mould and that made my night a bit uncomfortable. But generally the room wasn’t bad but definitely needs some improvement (refurbishment).
The breakfast and the food in general is really excellent. Keep up the good work. If I had to come back, it would mainly be for the food. The staff are super lovely, helpful and courteous.

United KingdomThe bed was incredibly uncomfortable and resulted in only about 3 hours sleep when I gave up and turned 180 degrees so my head was at the foot of the bed. Definitely needs flipping. Also the WiFi didn't work in my room and it was not possible to resolve it which was disappointing
Staff were brilliant and friendly and welcoming. Food was lovely. Had dinner there as well as breakfast and the use of local produce was evident in the quality and flavour.

Perhaps I should have noticed when booking as breakfast wasn't incluced for Booking.com guests (it was for those who booked direct). It was also started too late (8am) and pricing didn't look competitive.

United KingdomWas told that we could check in at 4pm, when we arrived after a long drive plus 2 dogs , we were informed that the room was in the process of being cleaned. We decided to walk the dogs, have a drink hoping that the room would be ready. Went up to the room an hour later and it was still being sorted out. We were due to go back out at 6 to meet family and had no time to freshen up or rest. On speaking to the housekeeper she mentioned that a wedding party would be returning later onto continue celebrations. We were a bit worried as we would not of booked the room overseeing the courtyard and knew that we would not get any sleep if we were to stay. We thought about it whilst we were out and I emailed the hotel/pub to inform them that we had decided to travel back home and would not be staying, stating the reasons for this. The following day, I received an apology and was told that I would receive a full refund. I was happy with this, but have never received a refund even though I did remind them . I would advise that if you are booking and want a quiet night, check with the hotel first.

United KingdomIt was made clear to us on a number of occasions that we were not entitled to breakfast as we booked through booking.com. Cost of breakfast was excessive. Pancakes were inedible. Coffee machine was allegedly not working. The larger of two breakfasts rooms was occupied by a couple with three children making so much noise the rest of guests were squashed in a smaller room to avoid them. Staff were inexperienced, helpful if not very clued up. A second key was unavailable.
Location. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable.

United KingdomRoom 7 has an outside door shared with room 8, which had been on the latch during check-in. Arriving back at half past midnight only to find the door locked. There were no staff available to help and only after banging on the door loudly and disturbing another guest I discovered that room 8 was provided with a key but room 7 wasn't. Breakfast was being served by one young lady who was obviously stressed. After we had ordered breakfast we overhead two other tables saying they had either not been served or had been waiting an hour. We subsequently cancelled our order and decided to leave to eat elsewhere. when I returned with the key to check out the young lady was in floods of tears and ran out of the room. No doubt the stress of a room full of guests was too much. She shouldn't have been working on her own.
Handy location for the wedding we were guests at.
