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 KingdomLovely homely apartment in a fantastic location. Definitely recommend staying in Newtown. Lots of shops and eateries on your doorstep and only a couple of train stops from the centre of town. I really felt like I wanted to live here. I recommend the farmers market on Saturday morning at the Carriageworks if you like good food

AustraliaIt is basic and the apartment needs a little love and care (a fresh paint and some electrical work as the light flickered). But comfortably sleeping 4-6 with (6 would be with 2 people sleeping in the lounge room) make it’s great value.
LOCATION! Balcony, room sizes and the well appointed kitchen.

NetherlandsA deep clean and a lick of paint would make the apartment even more comfortable. The parking situation is challenging. Despite these points, I highly recommend this apartment. Would love to stay here again.
Cozy apartment, very good atmosphere. Lots of natural light, wooden floors, and cute balcony. Great place to relax. Felt like a home away from home. Great location! In a quiet, leafy street just around the corner from Newtown' s main street. Short walk to train station. Very nice neighborhood.

AustraliaIt desperately needs a paint. The walls have all these empty picture hooks which made it look tacky. The beds didn’t have bed heads which made it seem bit cheap. The toilet was in a tight spot next to the bench and the laundry was in full view, a screen or something would make it nicer.
Location was great

CanadaHost could have been more friendly, man was rude when he brought the toaster. No parking, had to hunt for parking daily. Not suitable for elderly or someone with knee problems, stairs not safe, dark. Hard to carry bags up. Needs lots of cleaning, false advertising. Over priced accommodation.
Location ok if you like noise. No breakfast provided, not a b&b

Australia(1) The location description is inaccurate - says "Darling Harbour", but it is in Newtown. (2) The lockbox code was not correct, and time consuming to get the correct code. (3) The apartment had not been cleaned. (4) Beds had been slept in and were unmade. (5) The property manager denied it all and did not help to rectify. Had to book alternate accommodation at 10pm at night. We have reported this property to Booking.com and NSW Fair Trading.
