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.).

EstoniaThe bedding and the room could do with a deep cleaning. The walls don't have much sound isolation, so get some ear plugs if you're a light sleeper, as neighbors can come and go around the clock. It got quite hot some days in the room as well, and no fan is provided. Overall, don't expect luxury for this price, but we can't complain much.
The room was comfortable enough for a week long stay, and it didn't feel cramped. A private bathroom was a nice touch in this price range. The shared kitchen had everything necessary for storing food and doing some simple cooking. The backyard was nice to have for relaxing a bit. The surrounding area felt nice, with shops, pubs and the tube station only a walk away.

New ZealandNegatives: shower mixer does not work well, and the hot water was too hot (this was the same for another couple). We stayed for five nights with no change of towels or provision of toilet paper (despite requesting this). Hence be prepared to buy toilet paper, washing liquid, and wash your towels. In the shared kitchen the oven and dyer do not work. The photos online must be very old and do not show the actual look of the place which requires a spruce up.
Positives: nice and warm, washing machine available and kitchen to cook meals, good drying rack. About 10min walk to rail-station and 30min to the tube 'Tooting Broadway', 10min walk to food and grocery shops, cheap accommodation.

SwedenBad and STRESS-inducing answers to our questions about late check-in! Two times we got the unclear and STRESS-inducing answers via "Booking.com" about check-in late although a clear information on the website about just this property item. Mr. Pedro saved it by solving the check-in possibility very late at night. For more detail se our conversations with Swedish "Booking.com" support.
Check-in availability very late at midnight! But.... → see the next comment "What didn't you like?" Mr. Pedro who take care of mannagemet of properties, as I understod, was nice to conversate with about our check-in late. There is possibility to check-in to the property at any time. It requires a necessary communication with landlord to solve/find this possibility and get some instruction for it.

United KingdomFurniture too cramped in room 4 . Had to walk sideways to get out of bed to get to the ensuite . No space between the toilet and the sink . Had to sit on loo sideways . Kettle wasn’t working on arrival . Wasn’t replaced until the following day . TV was very difficult to tune in . Also it was a Spanish version so all instructions in Spanish on the screen menu . Only one pillow each was supplied.
A fair price for Wimbledon week clean and the actual facilities good . Manager good but communication through phone only . Rather confusing as in the hall there is a locked box stating key drop off where my husband dropped the keys not realising that he then couldn’t lock the front door and we should have left the keys in the key safe outside after locking the front door . Fortunately we asked another tenant to lock the door on our departure from the inside .

United KingdomCheck in was nice and easy, as long as you contact their caretaker Pedro, first glance of the room it was pleasant for the price, the location was okay, not far from central although about £8-10 journey on public transport. We originally booked the room as it was photographed and advertised with a kitchenette, microwave/ fridge/ kettle etc. However this wasn't the case, you had to share a kitchen space with 5 other rooms. We reported to the customer service team that our hot water continuously stopped working and that our shower glass panel was broken so it leaked water all over the floor causing a slip hazard. Constantly messaging to get it sorted and it never was. A member in the party is severely autistic and struggled with the two flights of stairs (being on top floor) and slipping on the wet floor numerous times. We had to use our towels which were provided and even our clothing to stop it from becoming worse. We have taken a video to show how bad it was as the photos do not show how truly awful it was. The communication was awful especially with the host and their caretaker, a real shame as this could be a lovely place if they showed they care about our wellbeing.
Room was relatively clean and easy check in.
