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.).

United KingdomThere were a few ants near the fridge and bathroom which I don’t know where they came from since it wasn’t that many but still obviously not the nicest thing to notice.
All in all it was good, the beds were nice it was a spacious room with couch and TV and balcony. Even the upstairs pool lounge area was nice and clean. The cleaning staff was friendly as well.

Poland- The furnishings in the room and bathroom seemed very basic, but nevertheless, the standard-to-price ratio was very good. - My room overlooked a very narrow courtyard with lots of windows and air-conditioners, but since I didn't spend much time in the room, I didn't really mind. But I can see how it could be a downside for some.
- I loved the location within St. Paul's Bay, close to the local restaurant and party centre, as well as the coast. You can see the sea down the street from the hotel. - Very basic, but tasty buffet-style breakfast, as well as nice choice of a la carte breakfast sets. Importantly, the prices were really good! - In addition to breakfast, the guesthouse has its restaurant and I wish I'd had the time to try it, as the menu looked delicious. - I can't praise the staff enough: super friendly, helpful and welcoming, making sure I had all I needed. - A big bonus, the guesthouse offers a sense of privacy. - The neighbourhood is rather quiet, so sleeping was a breeze. - The room and the reception area were very clean.

GermanyThe place is close to the sea, restaurants, city center and boat tours. We had a few problems with AC and water heater. The staff acted immediately and replaced what didn't work. We were also moved to a good room. I wish this was done before. Beds are comfortable. There is continental breakfast below in the restaurant from 7.45am. In the evening staff is not there but you can talk to them from 9 or 10 am when rooms are cleaned.
