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.).

AustraliaThe apartment was in desperate need of a proper clean the bathrooms, doors and walls were covered with handprints and dirt. The so called laundry that we were promised was hopeless, filthy and extension leads out to the kitchen. It was hard to recognise which of the several appliances was functional or what they were capable of. The laundry was such a mess that the ironing board and vacuum cleaner took up a lot of valuable space in the wardrobes. The iron leaked water all the time and did not get hot. Towels were still hanging on the balcony. The bedroom lamp was found in the bathroom cupboard, broken.
The apartment was well located with excellent views, it was spacious and the beds were comfortable. Some local advise, luggage rack and a water jug in the fridge would have been a helpful.

AustraliaCommunication between the property managers, the host and us was very confusing. I was contacted for permission to access the apartment for the handyman to fix a window, but when i responded asking for a time they would come i never heard anything back. Left us very confused about what was happening.
Apartment had a great location for both the darling harbour and the city. Easy to access the keys when we arrived. We felt very safe and secure in the apartment complex.

Australia- Misleading Advertisement: The pictures provided on the website are misleading and do not accurately reflect the actual condition of the property. The disparity between the images and the reality of the accommodation was quite shocking. - Dirty Sheets and Blankets: Upon arrival, I noticed that the sheets and blankets were not clean, which is unacceptable for any accommodation. They had a foul smell and disgusting stains of yellow and grey color, making it impossible for me to comfortably lay down on the bed. - Dirty Carpet and Floor: The carpet and floor in the apartment were visibly dirty, creating an unhygienic living environment. - Window Inability to Properly Close: The window in my apartment could not be properly closed, which compromised security and thermal comfort. - Lack of Proper Heater: The absence of a proper heater made it difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature in the apartment. - Sprinkler Issues: The sprinkler system in the apartment was not properly set up, potentially posing a hazard in case of a fire emergency. - Rusty and Moldy Floors and Skirting Board: The presence of rust and mold on the floors and skirting boards is a clear sign of inadequate maintenance. - Fire Alarm and Smoke Detector: The fire alarm and smoke detector were not properly set up, resulting in a loud and disruptive noise every few seconds, preventing me from getting any rest. - Laundry Leftovers: There were clothes left in the laundry, and it was unclear whether they were dirty or not. - Missing Air Conditioner: The apartment was advertised as having air conditioning but it does’t work, and they provided portable heaters that doesn’t work! - Paid extra: I have paid for an additional person to stay in the sofa bed. No extra towel and linen provided. - Charged extra after check out: claiming there was a damaged toilet and charged $49 with no evidence. DO NOT BELIEVE FAKE REVIEWS. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE
The only thing I liked was the harbour view. Other than that the place need to be taken down from listing. They scam people for money. The place is awful. I had the most uncomfortable stay in a long time.

AustraliaEVERYTHING! From the unlocked, mould infested entry door to the filthy, stained mattress protectors. The grubby bed linen & towels, the dishwasher full of dishes on arrival, the dryer full of bed linen on arrival. The filthy, stained rug on the living room floor, the lack of ceiling light in bedroom and walk in robe, the floor lamp with no globe in living room. The leaking toilet and tap in bathroom. The hair, dirt & dust throughout the apartment. The filthy laundry floor. The window that was impossible to close in the bedroom. The window blind that was broken in the living area. The chipped coffee mugs and the food crumbs on the dirty carpet. This apartment was quite definitely NOTHING LIKE the description on Booking.com and should be taken off the website to prevent any future prospective holidaymakers from having their holiday ruined by deceptive advertising and misrepresentation.
This apartment was definitely the most disgusting place I have booked through Booking.com. We attempted to contact the host as soon as we arrived but although we had a local contact number to send a message we received no reply. (We had previously successfully communicated with the host several times via this number.) After several messages and photographs depicting the unacceptable state of the property being ignored, we eventually contacted Booking.com who attempted to resolve the issue over the next few days, however this delayed response meant we were left with no alternative but to stay in a grubby, sub standard apartment for our Sydney holiday as we had paid $600 a night for this place and certainly couldn’t afford to book elsewhere unless we were to receive a refund.

AustraliaNeeds some maintenance- blind was broken, light in a bedroom was not working. Cleaner had left bedsheets/linen in the washer/dryer and the door to the apartment was left open.
Nice and spacious for a family of 4. The two bathrooms were SUPER convenient for a family. Lovely view - was not expecting water views and it was a wonderful surprise. Convenient location - very close to everything.
