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 KingdomThe water seemed to take a while to get hot in the shower & bath.
Loved the location and the general feel of the cottage. Bunk beds were a big highlight for the kids! Really good communication from very nice owners. Kitchen well equipped with appliances and utensils.

AustraliaThe heater was very noisy. It was impossible to sit in the kitchen with it on. The contacts said that their electrician was waiting for some parts. The furniture needed re upholstering as it was stained and the cleaner needs to clean under cupboards etc. The bed was the biggest disappointment. Size was good but the inner spring mattress was well past its used by date. It was noisy lumpy and impossible not to get stuck in the dips where previous punters had sat and flattened springs. I would suggest getting rid of the bath and replacing it with a clothes washer.
Loved the location. The flat was nice and has the potential to be comfortable. it just needs some work loved the welcome pack

United KingdomSome issues initially to do with cleaning- there was a mix up with the cleaner and heat not getting through to upstairs radiators both resolved quite quickly and satisfactorily. A loose aerial banging about on the roof/side of the building kept me awake for the two nights I was there, but there was very stormy weather and heavy rain which probably caused it.
Cosy quiet location close to restaurants shops and beaches/harbour. Parking right outside the door. Good communication with the hosts to resolve issues

AustraliaIkea matrices might be okay for children but for an adults need more spring easy fix would be matrice protector for extra padding. Once you navigate the stairs with low ceiling (bang your head for taller folk) the rest was great. Would highly recommend leaving a stick vac and a washer dryer combo would fit in kitchen and a clothesline outside like all the other units would really help finish of the whole experience.
Great location & we had hire car so car park was what we looked for as well.

United KingdomThere is an issue with the drainage at this and the adjoining cottages, raw sewage overflowed from the three separate manhole covers on at least four occasions during our stay, we were unable to leave the windows open as a result, the smell was horrendous, also had to avoid standing in it outside! Not a new issue as you can see where previous spills have happened!
Fantastic location with a designated parking space, easy for exploring St Ives.

United KingdomHouse could do with a deep clean, especially shower room. Some repairs required; blinds on velux windows broken, extractor fan in bathroom not working, loose toilet seat, loose/peeling paintwork in places. Kitchen and front door could have curtain or blind.
Location was excellent. Private parking outside the house was a real bonus. House was well equipped.

United KingdomCottage was cold when we arrived and heating needed attention. Water for showers was cool. Owner acted when told. Cleaning needed to be more thorough and stains on carpet and sofa were off-putting.
