Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Fantastic host! Nothing too much trouble for Eimear. Lovely cosy bedroom and lots of extras like a shower cap. Property in the centre.. so a very easy stroll to restaurants and places of interest.

ItalyUnfortunately there are only 5 tables for - I understand - 6 rooms and when we reached the breakfast room at 8:30 all the 5 tables were busy. Madam the host was obviously trying to juggle with the uncomfortable situation. As she was kind and evidently super busy ( honestly also very fast and efficient, taking into account that she did all alone and the standard breakfast was quite abundant and mostly freshly cooked ) I felt some sympathy and didn’t raise any protest… nonetheless we wasted 40 minutes and with a minimum effort some room for another table could have been found.
Host attitude and kindness. Quiet coziness of the room. Excellent location. Good breakfast and in general good value for money.

United StatesThere’s nothing negative to say.
The host, Emur, not sure if I spelled that correctly, was lovely and made us feel right at home. She gave us a map of the area and pointed out some local pubs where we could get food and listen to music. Nice art on the walls, great breakfast, even had porridge cooked to order. It was my favorite place to stay on our 2 week trip. And she had top sheets on the beds which was much appreciated! Would highly recommend!

SwitzerlandThe host was fantastic; very helpful and full of suggestions on where to go and visit given our limited time in town. She even offered us an early checkout and breakfast before the posted hours since we had to head out early for the airport. Room was very comfortable and location was ideal for wandering around the town.
