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 listing on booking.com did not stipulate that you had to return the key to an office in the suburbs. This was also not mentioned in our confirmation. We were disappointed to hear of this only when we picked up the keys. The office is not easy to find. Very disappointed that there was not the option to leave the keys in the apartment for the cleaners to return. Beware that you will have peak hour traffic if you are travelling north from the accommodation management office in the morning. Accommodation management blamed booking.com for this misunderstanding and booking.com accused us of not following the accommodation policies for key returns. No one took responsibility for the exclusion of information regarding returning the keys. NOT HAPPY.
It was a great place to stay. We had a two bedroom apartment and it was very spacious for 4 people. Having a washing machine and dryer was much appreciated. The kitchen was well equipped and good water pressure in the bathrooms.

AustraliaKey pickup on opposite side of town is a logistical challenge if flying in or out, but we knew about it beforehand so allowed extra time before flight out.

AustraliaHaving to get an Uber to travel 5 kilometres to both pick up keys and drop them off again was an additional impost in terms of both time and money. A lockbox at the property would be a much better solution.

AustraliaThere were no extra towels for the pool. A few brochures about things to do in Canberra would have been useful. A condenser dryer would have been better in the enclosed main bathroom rather than the standard tumble dryer…in the long run it is better for the property to keep the moisture inside reduced.
It was central. The pool and hot tub on level 3 was great! The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had most things but for some reason lacked saucepans and mixing bowls. Another oven tray would have been handy!

AustraliaThe main bedroom was really hot. The air con didn’t seem to work as well in that room plus all the glass made it really hot. collecting the keys was a pain and added about 30min to our already very long trip. The building was having some work done so there was no signage which made the garage incredibly hard to find (access is on a different street to the main address)
The apartment itself was lovely, clean and a great layout. the pool was also really nice. and great location.

AustraliaThe check-in process was annoying, and required us to go to a different suburb (5-10 minutes drive away) to pick up and drop off keys. Definitely not convenient if arriving late at night and if you need to use a third party for transport (luckily we had family to transport us to and from the key location). Not a big deal but should be stated very clearly when considering this accommodation option. Master bedroom bed (King size) is really too large for the bedroom - there is no room to put suitcases on the floor next to the bed. Queen bed would work much better.
Great location and very quiet. Generally spacious, clean, comfortable. Lounge particularly comfortable. Bathroom layout particularly good and bedroom shelving and drawers were very welcome. Well provisioned including consumables. Nice outlook through to the outdoor sitting area and across the city. Agent was very responsive to our queries.

AustraliaThe only problem I had was that a garbage truck came every single morning at 4.30am to empty the large slip bins downstairs. it was incredibly noisy and we hated being woken at that time every single morning.
The property was exceptionally clean, and beautifully presented. The location was excellent, parking in the building was so easy and convenient.

AustraliaWifi was very slow, but so was our cellular too. Washing powder would have been appreciated too.
Serviced apartments with no on-site concierge can be a bit hit and miss. But we were very pleasantly surprised by the quality, size and cleanliness of this apartment. So close to the shops, but with easy access to parking. The kitchen was very well appointed and the building was quiet.
