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 KingdomProperty worn out, 1 spoon for 4 people, bathroom stuff had to be requested, TV - "no signal". We had to hold shower unit door when taking a shower to make sure there are no leaks. The door in the room closed with force. Sort of okay given the price. I guess, next time we'll book something else in advance.
When we realised that we booked the hotel for 1 day less than we needed, the manager sorted it out quickly for us. Yes, the extra day was pricy, but given it was last moment and how quickly it was arranged - no complaints. The beds were OK, and WiFi was working.

United KingdomVery hot, window didn't open easily. The room looked worn out, probably even not very clean, overall.
Very ambigous feelings about this hotel/room. Rather worn out and walls/carpet were particularly worn out, but, hey, we chose it for the price. WiFi worked well, TV - didn't (showed "no signal"). 5 cups but 2 spoons for 4 of us, no usual shampoo/etc, but some leftover shower gel. 25 minutes walk from train station, sort of in the center. It was ok given how much other hotels were at the time of booking.

Bathroom facilities were good despite a lack of any provision of shower lotion, shampoo etc. The fan in the room was a God send as the whether was extreme , making the room very hot.

United KingdomUnfortunately the house is very old and not been painted in quite a while and just makes it a little grubby. When opening the main doors the smell was musty and first impressions weren’t great. One of the beds was really uncomfortable and felt broken in parts however my partner still slept like a log in it and the bed I shared with my daughter was comfortable enough. The fitted sheet did not fit at all and came off every time we put it back on but this was a minor issue. The one thing I didn’t like was the pillows. They felt like they were made of lead and gave me a migraine on the first night from neck pain which wasn’t ideal on holiday. There are plenty of cushions though so used those the second night.
Great area in a quiet part of the city but with bus stops right outside taking you wherever you want to go at a cost of £2 per adult. Good sized room with nice bathroom. Plenty of towels and toilet paper and tv with Netflix etc on it. Coffee making station but no teabags but shops bars and takeaways only a few feet away on a long strip of road with plenty of options. Ideal spot for a basic stay especially for larger parties who want to room together. Host was very quick to answer questions and also allowed us to check out an hour late as we had a late flight which was very helpful.

The bedroom door was stuck and we were stalled outside till someone came to fix it. Even after that it was difficult to open it The main lock system was not good and one of us hurt their finger due to this.
The room was not bad, spacious enough with heating and fans.

United KingdomThe room was kind of shabby, with torn carpet and wallpaper. The shower room is very cramped, and the copious black mould in the shower is inexcusable.
The sheets were clean and it was nice to have on site parking while still being close to the city. When I arrived the parking space I had reserved was occupied, but I was able to reach the host by phone right away and she had it sorted in five minutes.
