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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomWasn't sure about the bed covering, whether it was clean or not, would have preferred proper sheets. We did get a top sheet after asking. It's a distance from town so you need some sort of transport. Quite a noisy street.
The family were very warm and welcoming and the breakfast was good. Reasonable WiFi but it did dip out at times. A modern looking bathroom.

Czech RepublicIt is worth the value. No luxury at all, but for the price it is perfect. You get breakfast and warm shower, big balcony to chill out on, and surprisingly comfortable bed and great sleep even though it is above the road. It is a very local experience stay.

RomaniaThe terrace where the meal is served is very miserable, the second evening the owner was drinking alcohol with his friends. I had no privacy. The accommodation is very far from the city. High scores are given by people who are asked by owners to give them high scores. In the evening the house closes and you are effectively locked in there, we spent a lot of time trying to get out of the house in the morning, it is very dangerous to be locked in the evening without the possibility of going out.
He helped us with the tuktuk to take us to the accommodation, free of charge.

Sri LankaNothing. Very irresponsible and unprofessional management.
Made the booking and went to the place. But the place was closed and nobody was there. There was not even a candlelight on the property. I tried to contact the given contact number. It was out of service. I spend there about half an hour trying to contact the owner. Finally, I had to go and find another place at 10.00 pm in the night because of the irresponsibility of the management of this property. Don't choose a place like this for your stay. It will destroy your whole journey.

Sri LankaWe arrived at the homestay only to find it abandoned, with no prior notice of their unavailability. This unexpected situation caused significant inconvenience as we were in an unfamiliar town and had to scramble for alternative accommodations. The hotel failed to inform us about their absence, which is unacceptable. Proper communication could have saved us a lot of trouble.
