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 KingdomCan’t think of anything really. Our room had an old styled bath which took up a lot of space in the bedroom. The shower was big so not sure why both were there. But others probably love it!
The house has been beautifully furnished and decorated and the location is ideal for the ferry and to walk into town. The breakfast was cooked in an open plan kitchen which was super.

SloveniaSimply Great! Enjoyed the welcome and kindness of the staff. Perfect room, excellent breakfast. Particularly liked the way how they run the bar, based on trust - you take the drink, list it…and pay on the check out day.

United KingdomNot a lot of room for clothes if staying longer than day or two. Not a lot bathroom space for toiletries. Understand space would be difficult but trying to come up with something we didn’t like is also a problem!
We loved the decor. Very quirky with beautiful furnishings. Quiet location with wonderful Sea Views. Great Breakfast.

United KingdomThe only thing was the bedroom we had was compact but the sitting room was a lovely place to relax in, so that made up for the space.
Location was great on the esplanade with great view. Staff were so helpful & just lovely. The decor fab and colourful. Morning tray with juice & pastries very unexpected. Breakfast wonderful. It was a fabulous place to stay and would definitely stay again

NetherlandsI could only write something here if I am in a mood to complain.
Everything, from the moment you enter the hotel you are served a fine glass of prosecco. There is someone who will explain anything on your stay and may even give you some great tips for your further travel. It all has the feel of a 5-star B&B with a really distinguished interior design. The showers worked will and the bed made you sleep like a baby.

NetherlandsAn unforgettable stay. The concierge gave us the warmest welcome, setting the tone for a truly special experience. The location by the sea is stunning, and the cosy common area with an honesty bar made it feel just like home. Our room was stylish, comfortable, and beautifully designed. Breakfast, cooked in front of us by a chef, was a real treat. This is true luxury with a relaxed, intimate atmosphere, and the charming town makes it even more perfect
