Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Cleaner got inside while I was dressing up, took the towel, and started cleaning before my checkout time. On the app, the cheout time is written 11am, but now they're telling me that the checkout is at 10 am. I was naked, and the cleaner got inside and did her job . Now I'm back home they've just deducted my money again. I don't understand

The bed was not comfortable, we only had one, 1 ply toilet paper, the remote had old batteries and when we called they said they will send someone but no one came. The bathroom door did not close so it caused noise through out the day. Could not open the curtains because there’s no lining. No Aircon, no burglars on the windows which is a safety hazard.
It was close to all the attractions

A cleaner stole my herbal medication I bought for travelling. I could have given her money to buy one if asked. I requested for an iron which never came.. One I borrowed had a black under. How can this be.
The shower, easy to use or balance the water temperature. Easy to walk in and out. Access to and out of the facility. Quiet place no disturbances all through the day.

The check in process was complicated and very impersonal. No iron in the room, nobody to ask for help so having to make calls and be kept on hold. Very frustrating.

Service from staff. Firstly I was sent the incorrect check in details, my driver had to wait outside of 40 mins. He checked out on Tuesday 7:30am, left the keys where he was told to. Then I received a call saying they didn’t receive payment on Wednesday at 11am (24 hours after checking out) and asking where the keys are coz they can’t find them. I was then told I have to pick up the cost of changing locks because THEY can’t find the keys. I’m very unhappy with their service!

I didn’t like the fact that the staff didn’t communicate properly when it came to booking in. Also wasn’t so happy about our car having to park outside and not in a secure parking.
I liked that the house was actually secured. The room was clean and tidy and quite comfortable. I love how the room was so spacious and had everything close by that was needed.
