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.).

Kitchen resources were a let down. Tea canister still broken from a year ago. Range hood still not working. Only 1 tea towel still. No dish brush or cloths. Cookware needs replacing. We had a high top vehicle that we had to park down an extremely long driveway because we couldn't get it past the trees leading to the carport. Clearer instructions on the rubbish bin system would have been good to know. A properly functioning vacuum cleaner would have been super helpful. Had a mop with no bucket. No spare bed linen to change beds. One of the single beds was less than desirable to sleep on. Small things that would have made our 2 week stay more comfortable.
Spacious rooms. Good bathroom with laundry facilities. Good location. Heat pumps were great on the cold nights.

Property was dirty on arrival in every room. Mould in most rooms. Glass tebag container had sharp edges where broken. Fan grille in bathroom was filthy, cooker hood filters were very greasy and the cooker hood did not work. Frying pan was greasy and in very poor condition. No teaspoons and only one tea towel. Mop buckets just left outside back door. Dirty in yard by back door, Torn curtains in bedrooms. House has obviously not been cleaned properly for months. If i could post photos here I would!
Location good for local amenities.

2.5 hour delay in getting access to the property. No tea spoons, no bin liners, no toilet paper and only one tea towel. No casserole dishes or oven ware.
Location was good. We selected the property because of its proximity to our daughter’s house.

When we arrived, the kitchen was filthy, the kitchen table broken, there was no rubbish bin in the kitchen, there were marks all over the walls, curtains off their hooks and pictures off the walls. The garden was overgrown and strewn with rubbish, and there was no table or chairs in the garden. Because we were staying for a month, we spent a couple of hours clearing it all up, fixed the table and bought a bin. Then it was fine. The property really does need an outside table and chairs, a better equipped kitchen and some simple maintenance done. All low cost things that would make a big difference.
Great location, walking distance from cafes, bakeries, shops, restaurants and the beach. The property is in a quiet cul-de-sac, well away from the busy main road. It was well priced for the area and provided good, if a little basic, accomodation. We’d stay again.

I think I did less paperwork last time I purchased a property, I had to complete a number of forms, upload id's and then provide credit card details along with a $295 bond. There were so many communications from the host requiring action on my part. Was way to complex and difficult a process for a 1 night stay. The apartment had that rising damp smell of an old peoples home. The dishes in the kitchen were not clean. Stains on the carpet and couch and generally run down. No black out blinds, just flimsy broken curtains so you are waking up with the sun. I wouldn't stay here again.
Unfortunately I didn't like much about this property and wouldn't stay here again. Was way overpriced for a run down old unit. I'll stick with staying in larger hotel in town next time.
