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.).

We travelled to Essen mainly for a family visit and chose the apartment because it was within walking distance from our relatives' home. But the location is excellent for other reasons: many shops, restaurants, bakeries, cafés and supermarkets are literally around the corner on the attractive Rüttenscheider Straße. The Folkwang Museum (art gallery) can be reached on foot, as can the Grugapark, the trade fair grounds and the Alfried Krupp Hospital. The underground station Florastraße is very close and makes it easy to use public transport for destinations in Essen and the Ruhr Valley. Essen main train station is only a few stops away (no need to change). The apartment 'Hanni' is on the ground floor (street level, no steps or stairs). It is located in a typical German apartment house; in this respect it is not 'touristy'. The neighbourhood is urban but quiet. The apartment's main room is spacious and open plan. It includes a small kitchen, a table with chairs to eat, a sofa, a large TV and two good beds. The wifi worked well. The apartment is warm, well equipped and has a microwave with oven function. For a longer stay it may be worth knowing that there is no hob and no washing machine in the flat. The bathroom is large and modern; it has a nice double bath (also with shower). The second bedroom only holds two large beds and provides storage space; it is not designed as a separate room to withdraw to. The hosts were very responsive, friendly and easy to reach.

SlovakiaBathroom and entry hall are quite cold so you have to keep the living room door closed - not a bad thing, you just need to remember. The kitchen equipment is very basic, I'd appreciate some whisk, scissors, scale or at least a measurement cup, ladle, smaller knife and more pieces of cutlery than four. And like everywhere, there is only one trash bin, so waste segregation was very improvised.
The apartment was practical, clean and contained almost everything we need, linens were clean and we got enough of them. We chose it for the proximity to the Alfried Krupp Hospital but I think the location is also good for sightseeing - the tram stop Florastrasse is right around the corner. A grocery store is at that corner as well. The owner is quick to respond and helpful.

ItalyFor a 4-day stay, a small towel and a large towel are sincerely insufficient equipment. It was better to specify in the description. Not all guests are used to using a mini quilt as a pillow
Perfect for a visitor of the Essen exibition. 10 Min walking. Perfect connection to city center and railway station by underground. Lot of facilities nearby. Very quiet zone. Good internet connection

SloveniaIt is an older app, but taken care of. I would only replace the shower and put in an air dryer.
Nice location with parking. Calm and nice neighbourhood, small apartment, but just enough for 2-3 people or family with one child.

GermanyThe front door of the building is just outside the apartment’s entrance, and we would be woken up in the mornings whenever someone left the building. Didn’t seem to be an issue on the weekend.
An artsy feel with the unique lighting choices and the single bed in the “cave” in the back. Relatively quiet side street considering the proximity to shops and restaurants.

We are super happy, lucky and grateful to have booked this place. The host Martin is a gem of a guy, ensured we had everything. The location is epic, close to the convention, the grocery store Edeka is like next door and more importantly, epic restaurants! Note: Luck in a Cup, Jay's and a greek restaurant which has a private bowling alley in the basement. The bus, which is a replacement for the tram stops on the parallel main road.
