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.).

United StatesThe furniture was very nice but it felt a little crowded. In order to get to the bathroom, one must go up three steps (indoors)to the original part of the house so we needed to be extra careful at night. I would be happy to stay here again.
The studio apartment was lovely and in a wooded, hilly area of Berkeley. It only took a couple minutes by car to get down the hill to the center of town. We did not meet the owner but they communicated by email. We appreciated the microwave, toaster oven and coffee maker.

United StatesThe lack of a sink in the room discouraged any attempts at preparing food. Way too much old "stuff" in the room, like chest of drawers, flower vases, old personal things, etc.

United StatesThis is a converted garage. The only light came from 2 small windows on one side making it very dark. I thought it was ok for the price, but my wife did not and we had to leave after one night and of course, the policy on refunds is... sorry.
Beautiful old house in a nice neighborhood. Bed was comfortable.

KyrgyzstanThe photos are totally misleading. The whole place is extremely tired and obsolete. As some other reviews pointed out, it's probably a (lamely) repurposed garage. There's a stench inside that does not go away even with open windows. When it rains you can hear it leaking somewhere (perhaps hence the odour). The bathroom is cold and uncomfortable. Everywhere you are faced with handwritten notes explaining the limitations of the crumbling facilities, for instance about a couple of electrical pieces on the same time leading to outages. Not a big fan of writing negative reviews, but felt it necessary here to warn fellow travelers.
Location is nice, albeit hardly walkable. Great view from the little tired windows you get in the "studio"

United StatesProperty was not available on scheduled time. The carpets, sofa had old stains on them. This is a converted garage not an upscale place, It was inconvenient to get into the place and into a tiny bathroom. The room was very cold and everywhere you looked there were stickers asking you to minimally use the electric outlet,
