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.).

An unusual property in a lovely location, quite remote and with wonderful views. The dinners on the terrace were terrific with views to match and incredible value for money. Very personable owners.

What a fabulous 4 night stay, we wished that we had longer. The photos on the web do not do it justice, it is so much more. The place is exceptionally clean and tidy, the owner and all the staff, that includes Bruno the Labrador are so welcoming and friendly, any help or advice just ask. They will chat or leave you your space, it is so comfortable. The info we all need - the Tower is at the top of a hill with a winding road up to it (easy to drive), initially you might think you have made a wrong turn but you haven’t. When you arrive the Towers are stunning as are the views and you will notice the peace and quiet. There is a lovely pool with pool loungers on one side, there is a bar where they serve hot/cold/alcoholic drinks and also you choose buffet breakfast from here. There are lovely seats and tables looking over the pool area or the hills and out to sea where you can just relax or eat, drink to your hearts content. They have a great menu with small plates and larger meals, they always had something special in the kitchen too. The food was wonderful and plenty, I didn’t catch the chefs name but the food is very good. Our room was a double which had a good sized wardrobe, chest of drawers, a tv, desk with enclosed fridge which worked very well, plenty of plug sockets, excellent shower with a choice of jets, hand held or over head, the water pressure was brilliant always. A/c which was also excellent and didn’t need to be on for long at all as the style of the rooms kept a good temperature even though it was August. The windows as you will see in my photo are glazed with internal shutters also, so basically black outs for a great sleep if that’s what you want. The bed, very comfortable mattress and there were 4 pillows, 2 that were like the memory foam cooling gel one that shape for your neck and 2 that were firm and plump but yet soft. I know that if we visit that area again without any doubt we will stay here.

This is an amazing property in a stunning setting. All the staff were very polite and attentive from the minute we arrived until we left. Our room was well presented and had a comfy bed along with provision for hot drinks. The bathroom was clean and modern with toiletries provided. The property offers breakfast and an evening meal which can be taken on the terrace which offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape looking to the sea. Our evening meal was exceptional with a good choice of traditional and modern cuisines. You can also take advantage of the pool which was very welcome during a hot afternoon.

The property offers a range of comfortable and, tasteful accommodation, with great food on offer, either for breakfast or evening meals. It is family run accommodation and both the owners and staff are warm and welcoming.

United StatesI wish I could give this more than a "10". It is remote, outside of town, at the end of al long mountain road, but what awaits around the last bend took my breath away. Absolutely beautiful location - serene and peaceful. The views in every direction were spectacular. Our hosts, Yota and Dimitri, were very hospitable and catered to our every need. Breakfast was delicious, including Yota's homemade bread and preserves. (give Bruno (chocolate lab) a hug and a scratch for us :) )
