How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe privacy was great! The view from the bath was gorgeous. So gorgeous that the bathroom had a painted mural of the view 😍 the rugs, the couch, the wardrobe, the dimmable lights - all of these things made our stay very homey and cosy. Spacious shower was a treat after being on the slopes all day.
Had to get creative with meals as we only had a microwave and kettle.

Verified reviewOverall a beautiful location with great views to the mountain, easy accessible, very peaceful and quiet.
Very dirty when we arrived, lots of dust under the beds, behind the doors, under the sofa, hair on the floor, top of fridge, left over canned food inside the fridge, kitchen cupboards would also need some cleaning. First thing I did was ask for the vacuum cleaner to clean the whole place by myself. Bed sheets were fresh and clean though.

Verified reviewQuiet. Away from tourist area. The bath was lovely. Simple.
Possibly a sink to wash dishes (minimal). We used the basin.

Verified reviewThe location is super convenient, and the directions given to us by the host made finding the place and the check in super easy. The place is beautiful, and the views are absolutely stunning.
There aren’t a lot of plugs and multiple appliances are connected on multi plugs, we had an issue with one shorting a lot so had to move the kettle to the bathroom.

Verified reviewIt had a spectacular view and was very relaxed and comfortable.
It was a little hard to find. It would have been better (less stressful) to understand the check in/arrival arrangements in advance.

Verified reviewNothing much, the facilities were ordinary, the garden needed a good tidy up.
Was overpriced, hardly any facilities. It wasnt an enjoyable stay. The standard was well, below what we are used to.

Verified reviewWe liked that it was walking distance to our event. It is also very quiet, being away from the main road. Lovely outlook.
Nothing that we didn't like. Be aware this location is not walking distance to town.

Verified reviewFantastic view of the town and mountains. Lovely courtyard out the front of property to sit out on and enjoy the view.
Property was a little cold with concrete floors and a few rugs. Tv was in the main bedroom only which was disappointing, but we did have the view. Needs an update in kitchen lots of ants on benches and in pantry.
