How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe linen on the bed was crushed and mix matched, it looked as if the sheets hadn't been washed and pressed since the last guest. We felt like intruders, it was very uncomfortable.
Unfortunately at this time for a week I had someone looking after the B&B while I was away. It seems that this person did not do a good job of looking after the property which I apologise for. Sadly my usual 9&10 scores have been affected.

We didn't mind to stay with Debbie. But she is living in the appartment and share common rooms. This is no problem as Debbie is very discreet and welcoming and she let's you clearly know after the booking.

I’m sorry you had a not good experience with my temporary host. I was away helping family & had someone help me for a few days. Unfortunately it seems she was not suitable. I back now and the 9 + scores will continue.

Verified reviewGood quiet location away from traffic noise, outstanding ocean views, comfortable bed, private ensuite, great WIFI, friendly host. Fixings for a light breakfast were more than adequate: sourdough toast, Lurpak butter, toast spreads, yoghurt, muesli, fruit and eggs, plenty of coffee and tea. Off street parking, lifts to apartment, some undercover parking may be possible subject to availability (not guaranteed).
We prefer a TV in the room, but not a deal breaker especially as the wifi is excellent and I have live TV on my iPad. Some travelers may feel it nice to know in advance - wall mounted TV fittings are there but TV removed presumably because host’s room is next door and previous guests may have had volume too loud fir host’s own comfort. It’s an in-home b&b so obviously some give and take is assumed.

Verified reviewThe view is spectacular and Debbie was a wonderful host! We had a delicious breakfast and access to the most variety of teas I've ever seen. Really went above and beyond to make it a comfortable stay. Local recommendations and helpful insights to the area.
