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.).

SpainInitially we were shown a room in the house with shared bathroom which would have been fine. The room we were given had an ensuite which had a strong smell coming from the drain.

NorwayGreat value for money. Breakfast was good. Bathroom is shared with another room but no dramas. WIFI was good! Hot water takes a while but that's like most places in the region. Secured parking. Dirt road leading to the property, was fine for the 4x4 but depending if it's raining, might be a challenge for a smaller car.

RwandaMy stay at this centrally-located Gisenyi apartment was exceptional. The helpful manager and friendly staff made me feel welcome throughout my visit. I enjoyed peaceful nights thanks to the quiet location and comfortable bed. The shared kitchen with all necessary utensils was a great convenience, as was the availability of drinks on the property. Being in the city center meant easy access to laundry services, gym facilities, and the bus park. A highlight was the massage service - expertly done and reasonably priced. The property is just a pleasant 20-minute walk from beautiful Lake Kivu, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.

CanadaThis is not the Hilton. The reason people choose to stay here is because of the low price compared to other places on Booking. The manager is friendly and tries hard to please the guests. The breakfast was decent. There is a massage room there and they offer an amazing and very affordable massage. Just because it is a low price though , doesn't mean that it should compromise on basics. We booked a private room with a bathroom. The bathroom has a shared wall with the neighboring "private" bathroom. The top portion of the wall is just a screen- so you hear your neighbors using the toilet, chatting, showering and you hear their phone ringing too. Not to mention the fact that sharing bathroom air is not pleasant... The light bulb in the room dims and brightens annoyingly. The site claims there is a view of the lake and the city. There is neither. The room description is not accurate either. A lot of what is listed on Booking.com regarding this place is simply not true. There is no flat-screen TV. No minibar and kettle. To be honest, I would be surprised if an inexpensive option like this had those things, but that is what is listed on Booking. Drinking water is not included. We asked for a water bottle and were later told they were being charged for it. When I told the manager that I didn't know I was being charged, he waived the charge. It feels like this place is still figuring out how to attract tourists.
