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.).

NetherlandsSeveral things were not working or not working properly. Empty soap dispenser, bathroom mirror light not working. Lose toilet seat. Torn pillow and bed pillow sheet looked too small for the pillow. 5 beds but only a table with two seats.
Very easy to get into the accommodation. Clear instructions. Location is easy to get to from the city centre. Lots of food places close to the accommodation. Fun family room with 5 beds.

United KingdomSome areas could use a little TLC: sink was cracked and the blind was broken in the bathroom. Toiletries were empty and no milk for drinks.
The room was comfortable and it was easy to access the building. Good basic facilities in the room.

AustraliaPlease see above. Little more attention to tiny details will make alot of difference
Location was pretty good. Paying $300 AUD a night was rather expensive for the room with a tiny tiny bathroom, single beds with 1 thin Doona and no spare blankets. Heater didn't work in room. 1 wine glass and 1 champagne glass wad pretty ordinary if you wanted to have a wine at end of day. No spare bath towels, no bathmat so water constantly on bathroom floor. I had to take a towel from the dirty laundry in front hall to act as a bath mat. No Tea towel to dry dishes.

PolandThe cleanliness of the room was questionable. The staff were polite and gave us fresh towels when the first ones were dirty. But the bathroom was not clean, there were someone's hair thanking off the shower shelf.
The location is very nice, close to all of the attractions and the area itself is quiet, perfect for a good night's sleep.

MyanmarIt’s not a hotel, no stand-by staff nor room service, no towel change for 4 days. No drinking water provided. Only provided bath towel and bath mat, no face towel. No slipper. No toiletries (toothpaste/brush, shower cap), broken exhaust fan. Since will wooden floor upstairs, all footsteps and noises from upstair is noisy. Though ours was double room, only provides one chair, one spoon and folk set. Only one ceiling light and I felt the room is so dim.
The location is good. The staff responded in short time. The space for two people is quite enough. The check-in wasn’t that difficult. Quiet neighbourhood. Bus stop is close. Radiator warm the room well. The staff are helpful and they adjusted check-out time as much as they could.
