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.).

Had everything I needed. It was so cozy, the bed is so soft. It was so relaxing and quiet which was much needed. Very clean! The owner(s) is very hospitable and nice. Clear communication throughout I stayed here bc I went to a concert and the venue(terminal 5) was literally like a 5-7 minute away which was great bc the concert ended at around 1030pm, I believe. Also theres a lot of places to eat nearby (Starbucks, corner store, pizza spots, food trucks and Chinese/asian food).

Location is perfect. Clean. Felt safe. Room was small and uncomfortably warm. Short bed wall to wall. Ended up with a bleeding injury due to cramped sleeping space. Only access to drinking water in restroom. Served our purpose but wouldn't return.

United States1 review6.0“Overall nice stay. 6 p.m. check-in time was frustrating to work around.”- • Leisure trip

- • Double Room with Shared Bathroom

However, the time constraint was inconvenient; they told us that there was no self-check-in and that they had to let us in because it's their home. We just wanted to drop our bags off, but they told us to use a luggage storage. It was just inconvenient because the place said "they closed at 6:00 or 6:30" and would not tell us which one it was specifically. And then check-in was also at 6:00, so we had to hang around the area to make sure we could get our luggage before the place closed and check in. Then, when we finally could check in, it was a self-check-in where you take the key out of the lockbox and let yourself in ( like every other rental place ever). We never came in contact with the owners until I eventually had to seek them out for a specific concern, and so I felt that the 6 p.m. restriction was really unnecessary and was a huge damper on our trip because we had to manage the luggage, restrict where we went, and also deal with dying phones. I feel like if your trip is longer it may not have that big of an effect on your outlook since it only impacts the first day. Our trip was a weekend trip so the time restriction skewed our outlook on the place because it messed up one of the two days we were there. Would I book this place again? Probably not, I just prefer to have more of a say in where I leave my luggage and when and for a short trip I would rather pay the difference for a more expensive place if it means I get more out of my stay. However, for the price, I don't think it was bad, just frustrating that they kept making it seem like they had to be present for our arrival when that simply was not the case. Especially for a situation as simple as putting luggage down and leaving. I think they could be more flexible about that.
Overall, the experience was good! They were very responsive when we called or texted to ask questions. The place was also super nice. Even though you're living with the owners, it is private for the most part. I would recommend if you don't mind the 6 pm restriction. The location is also super good, and compared to other places, it was a decent price.
