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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesIt was more out of the way than I realized, but I was happy to be here!
Expansive. Private. Relaxing. A most lovely owner who was so kind and accommodating to my late arrival and early departure schedule. She upgraded me to a bigger room at the last minute when she realized I was repacking all my luggage for departure from the country the next day. She woke up super early to provide me breakfast before I departed, even though I told her not to worry about doing this. EXCELLENT VALUE!

The host is amazing and will go over and beyond what is expected. 100% the best host I've ever had. The place is really nice and close to a lot of amenities. Room was very clean and there is use of the kitchen if needed and also a play room to relax!

United StatesOnly that I didn't allow time to stay longer, and that my wife missed out while she's on a Camino.
Where to start? 5+-stars and highly recommend this country cottage, that feels like an elegant farm stay. Claudia is an incredible hostess - she goes out of her way to make sure everything is perfect. The house has been in the family since it was built in the late 1700s. The renovation is modern, while still maintaining a feeling of the history and honoring original building materials. My room was tastefully furnished, clean, bright, and spacious. There are several friendly dogs, and my dog really enjoyed their time together. Dinner is available for groups with advanced notice. As a single traveler arriving late, Claudia guided me to a really nice restaurant in town. In the morning, we hung out and chatted, and I learned more about the history. I should've planned to stay longer - very relaxing.

BelgiumIf you book a long time before hand, I would recommend to double check the reservation. I booked early and several months later Claudia contacted me to tell me she had a double booking and I couldn't come. FInally we could stay 3 in stead of 9 days. The bed was too hard for me. The rest of the family was fine with the beds.
it s a little paradise ! we really loved lying in the shade of the trees next to the swimming pool, with a great view on the mountains. There are several tables and chairs outside, where you can choose to relax / eat.

United KingdomThere are lots of steps and you must like dogs. The pool needs a bit of TLC.
Claudia and her family have a large and beautiful property with great views across the valley. Whilst retaining the traditional feel of the house, renovations have included glass doors and contemporary additions which mean it is light and airy. Our room had air con, a comfy bed and a modern ensuite. We used the kitchen and BBQ to prepare an evening meal, and next day the huge breakfast included cakes home baked by Claudia's mother. Yummy! The garden has lovely and interesting planting. The pool was most welcome! A very comforable stay with everything that one could need.
