How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The air conditioning struggled with plus 30 degrees outside. Other than that it was great.
Quiet, clean and the location is great. Close to the beach and close to shopping. Lovely place and I would happily stay there again. The directions to access the property are clear and easy. Fabulous!

The air conditioning was inadequate. One small split system in the living area, nothing in the bedrooms. One noisy portable fan. It was high 30s each day and the overnight minimums were in the 20s. Sleeping was hard. House Instructions should include mention of the remote control for the garage door. If you use the manual system, the neighbours sharing that door can’t use their remote.
Great location. Apartment was fitted out well with everything we needed for our short stay. Undercover parking. Private balcony - great for breakfast and dinner once the sun set. Beds are firm but comfortable.

The service provider needs to ensure the cleaners do a better job. All glass areas were smeared - including the glass dining table top, windows, patio doors and TV screen.
The location was great and having a balcony a bonus.

Board band speed was a bit slow especially on the weekend. If they provide shower gel rather than soap will be much better.

the kitchen table is very wobbly and dangerous I had a hot drink on one side when my husband cut his sandwich which caused the table to wobble and tip and my drink nearly split over me. bathroom door couldn’t close Shower fittings cheap and not easy to use with the way they sprayed water Too many rules re emptying garbage leaving all kitchen electrical items clean with warnings of charging for cleaning I can understand if left very dirty that should be then addressed but not having to leave all perfect for paying guests Only place in our travels that stated this We have always left our stays tidy and in order.
lovely and clean well set up kitchen and laundry

The apartment was not ready when we arrived at 2:30pm (agreed check in was 2pm) and we could not enter until 3:30 pm. The manager had arrived but he did not apologise, on the contrary tried to tell us it was not 2pm yet. Apartment is in need of maintenance: bathroom door is warped and doesn't shut, light bulb over bathroom mirror blown out, shower taps loose. Glass dinning table due to its design can't be leaned on when eating.
Location a block from the river. Modern, large windows, a balcony, secure carpark under roof, washing machine and dryer, upstairs apartment

There was only one small air conditioner in the main living area. No airconditioners in bedrooms. Considering Perth's climate, which can be quite hot, the air conditioner was not adequate. For us, it was very hot and the airconditioner did not cool the apartment enough. It made our stay quite uncomfortable. The hot water in the shower regularly turned cold. The hair dryer sparked when we tried to use it. A window was stuck open, handyman was able to do a quick fix - however issue was not resolved.
location was great. parking carport and entry was good. customer service responded quickly when we had an issue with an open window.

Apartment needs a though clean... under beds very dusty, windows, mirror and TV washed with dirty water leaving heavy streaks. Most fittings are loose ie towel rake, hand basin, taps in shower leaking causing rising damp on wall in lounge. Because of these issue's the apartment wasn't value for the money we spent. In conclusion we were disappointed.
Good location with undercover parking

location, no garden, no view
we never got to stay as they cancelled our booking and only told us 24 hours beforehand whilst we were on a plane travelling from England to Australia. There was no email communication to tell us bookings.com were useless and very unhelpful when we phoned to check as the address they sent us through had changed. We were directed to another apartment which was on a busy main road. The apartment wasn’t ready for us at 2:30, and after 16 hours travelling, the whole thing was a nightmare.
