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 reviewMy favorite thing about the room was how comfy and clean the bed was.
I didn't like that the common area/kitchen smelled like dog pee. Wasn't noticeable in the private room, though.

Verified reviewProbably John's house is the oldest house in a quiet and beautiful neighbourhood. The person who is in charge is so nice and if you have early flight, it might be a good choice to be a bit closer.
A bit far from downtown.

Verified reviewIt's great for it's value, the bed and pillow was really comfortable and the bathroom was also great. John is really kind, he picked me up from the airport and took me there the next day. It was just a 15 minute ride. I would absolutely stay here again.

Verified reviewFree tea and coffee. A shared refrigerator, microwave, kettle, and hair dryer are available, along with cups, forks, spoons, paper plates, and clean drinking water. Tissues, toilet paper, and towels are provided. The bed was clean and comfortable, and the owner was flexible and responsive. Easy bus access to downtown, though it’s a little far from the train station. The little porch by the entrance was my favorite spot. I loved sitting there to work, and the Wi-Fi was smooth and reliable.
I needed to text the owner to use the laundry, but the quick response made it easy. The bathroom could have been a bit cleaner, but overall, it was a good stay.

Verified reviewJohn's house is nestled in a sweet little suburb south of downtown. I was only there one night but I wished I'd stayed longer. John was very communicative and allowed me to store baggage before check in. The room is simple but lovely. There are coffee making facilities downstairs which helped me fight jetlag. The suburb is very pleasant to walk around in and if you're lucky, like me, you might hear piano music emitting from some homes whilst on an afternoon walk. Do yourself a favour and avoid the harrowing streets of downtown and stay at John's place instead.

Verified reviewThe place is very nice and budget friendly. I highly recommend this one if you value your sleep and privacy. The neighborhood is super nice and beautiful. Busstop if a few minutes walk away and the bus rides are quite cheap. I will go back before returning to europe.

Verified reviewThe location is great, close to downtown and just a 5 minute walk to the nearest bus stop. House is easy to find, nice neighborhood, and felt safe. Room was very clean and comfortable.
Shared bathroom didn't have hand soap and was a bit cluttered. Room lamps were all very bright; there was no option for soft lighting. Communication with owner could have been better--we just received one-word answers.

Verified reviewMy room was clean and comfortable, in a well-maintained old house with character. The shared bathroom was well-stocked, although not very recently cleaned.
I never met John, and he seemed pay little attention to guests’s needs and requests. For example, his ad offers rides to and from the airport, but I got no response when I emailed that I’d like to book a ride back to the airport. Additionally, there was a small table by the stairs that had a coffeemaker and electric teapot - but the boxes containing spoons, creamer, etc were empty. As a guest, I felt like I was an afterthought.
