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 review- Was grateful to find a place to stay at a busy time at a reasonable price in comparison to others (Military Tattoo week) - Location was alright; Peaceful residential area, which was nice. - It was great to get in via a keybox - The bathroom felt like someone is at least trying to make it nicer/upgrade something, but it wasn't the most practical (the tap and sink didn't really sync up and the entrance of the shower was a bit snug and strange with a mirror right in the shower? Odd!)
- The communication was bad - I had to chase up via WhatsApp after not having received a reply in two weeks in here. Would have expected better. - It didn't really feel like a regular room you'd usually rent on Booking.. it felt as if your family friend had a friend that had a spare room where you could crash for the night, to help out. There were personal belongings everywhere, which didn't leave much space for us (lots of clothes in a filled-up wardrobe hidden behind a half-open curtain right next to one of the beds on the floor + other things in and on a cupboard in the room + bookshelf filled with stuff too). - It smelled bit damp and not super fresh in there - Shower drain was clogged and there was nowhere to place the items in the shower (no ledge or something) - The door lock was a bit sketchy - There was no low light option for the evening. Only bright ceiling lamp. - No tellie

Verified reviewLeaving the house
Been in the house, theres mould on carpet, foosty smell through out the house, dated wallpaper hanging off torn, no light in the room , can't see out the windows for dirt, more old clothes in the room than a well stocked charity shop, very poor to none existing hygiene through out the property, honestly felt disgusting to be inside,
Did you read the statement on the property before you came ? The fact that you say there is no light is simply that you did not pay attention to room details There is 2 light switches to help you get in and out of bed . Cany you answer this question. Why did you give it a 2.5 and the people before you a 10 ? This reflects more on you than me . You were expexting a 5 star unihabited place because you did not read the desription . I suggest that you read the descriptions and pay twice the ammount for your expextations and not complain about paying 1/2 the ammout for them . The description is honest .

It was not clean
Thanks for your feedback, the property wasn't meant to be available until June. I was surprised when you showed up, the calendar wasn't meant to be open.as we were doing refurbishments - my fault there. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Verified reviewThe owner was friendly
The place wasn't clean. I didn't even have a shower as it looked so dirty. The owner said he was new to booking.com and hadn't checked it recently. I arrived after midnight....After travelling....and had to wait for the bed to be changed.
I made it clear that I did not know you were coming so when you arrived I did my best so that you had somewhere to sleep. your plane was delayed and you booked after 11pm
