More reviews beat more stars
A flawless 5.0 from a handful of guests is easy to fake — or just luck. Our Trust Score weights the rating by how many people actually reviewed.
12 reviews
Trust Score
79/100
350 reviews
Trust Score
90/100
Both earn a BOOK — but 350 guests confirm the 4.6★, while only 12 back the 5.0★. The Trust Score puts the proven stay on top.
Score, compare & decide — on every listing.

Frequently asked questions
Are BookOrSkip reviews independent from Airbnb and Booking.com?
Yes. BookOrSkip is an independent review platform with no ties to Airbnb, Booking.com or any host. Reviews come from real guests and can't be edited, removed or paid for by the property — so you get an honest BOOK or SKIP verdict, not marketing.
Can I check reviews for a specific Airbnb listing?
Yes. Paste the Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo or Hostelworld link on BookOrSkip and we take you straight to that exact place's page — with its score, pros and cons, and honest guest reviews. If the listing is new to us, we create the page so you can be the first to review it.
How is the BookOrSkip score calculated?
The BookOrSkip score runs from 0 to 10 and is the average of honest ratings from real guests across cleanliness, location, noise, Wi-Fi, value and safety. A score of 7.0 or higher earns a BOOK; below that it's a SKIP.
Why are these reviews more honest than on the booking platforms?
On Airbnb, hosts can review guests back, so travelers fear retaliation and leave reviews that are too positive. BookOrSkip is independent and reviewers stay pseudonymous — the host never knows who wrote the review — so guests can be fully honest without fear.
Is BookOrSkip free to use?
Yes. Searching, checking the BookOrSkip score and reading the BOOK or SKIP verdict are completely free. You only need a free account to write your own review.
How do I know if an Airbnb or hotel is legit before booking?
Paste the listing link into BookOrSkip and you get an independent BOOK or SKIP verdict for that exact place — its score, pros, cons and honest reviews from real guests. It is the fastest way to spot a place to skip before you pay, instead of relying only on the platform’s own ratings.
Are Airbnb and Booking.com reviews fake or manipulated?
Not all, but studies suggest a large share of online reviews are manipulated or incentivised, and platform reviews skew positive because guests fear the host will review them back. BookOrSkip removes that bias: we are independent, reviewers stay pseudonymous, and no host can edit, pay for or delete a review — so the BOOK or SKIP verdict reflects what guests really experienced.
