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.).

New ZealandThe smell in the lift. We could tell someone had tried to clean it. But it was pretty horrid. The hair dryer was missing - we were going to a wedding so we did miss it but not a huge problem. It was ANZAC Day so not worth disturbing the hosts.
The location. The layout of the apartment. Proximity to a supermarket.

AustraliaThe 2nd and 3rd bedrooms were hot and stuffy. Ceiling fans would have been beneficial.
The location was very convenient. The garden areas provided an oasis from the usual street views and softened traffic noise. Maund bedroom and living space great.

United KingdomThe communication about the key safe code on the day before was not ideal as I was travelling to Australia on the day it was sent. Another issue was the building works that were around the place, this made it quite uncomfortable to beat the jetlag
The location was great.

AustraliaThe apartment is on the older side of things and some maintenance and deep cleaning would be of benefit. The wifi access wasn’t great, and unfortunately regular network access is patchy too.
The location was fabulous, quiet and close to an amazing supermarket and numerous food options. The apartment was large and comfortable, with everything needed for a short (or long) stay. Beds were great, washing machine and dryer in the unit and a lovely balcony. Be advised that if you have a car roof capsule or similar, you won’t be able to drive into the carpark due to the incline leading in. There is a paid carpark ($4/day I believe) and some street parking.

AustraliaNo remote controls for the two televisions. No way to access them.
Lots of detail but they forgot to send a message with the code, which they were supposed to do on the date of arrival. I had to ring the emergency number to get code for the appropriate safe to obtain the keys.

AustraliaPillows in bedrooms were uncomfortable - - too thick but when we asked for thinner ones they were unavailable. Also there was a very strong and unpleasant smell of cooking in the entrance lobby of the area where our apartment was located - poor ventilation. Also, the shower recess needs an attachment on the wall to hold on to avoid slipping.
Very pleasant staff at reception and always willing to help

AustraliaI didn’t realise it was a four story walk up. I recommend taking smaller bags instead of the one giant one I took.
Loved this little apartment. The whole building was very quiet. Fantastic location for easy access to Canberra’s sites and also public transport. The apartment has clearly been refurbished and looks amazing.
