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.).

AustraliaPerhaps some information in the accommodation would have been beneficial. Even a map of the area describing what was around would have helped.
The location was central to all things that we wanted to visit in Canberra. We did not have a car - most attractions were within walking distance.

AustraliaHad to ask the cleaner about using the lift once the access card was left behind after leaving the keys and card in our room on checkout. The printed sheet "Phoenix Appartments" under the heading "Keys on Departure" did NOT mention that one could use the lift without a tag if you were going to "UG" (the foyer) and only the UG! This lack of information caused me some anxiety. The help phone ONLY took messges after hours. The curtains in both the bedroom and living room were off the lead runners and therefore the curtains would not close proerly. A box of facial tissues had to be requested
Management were most cooperative and pleasant when we needed to change from an appartment accessible only by flights of stairs. A leak in the HW storage tank was attended to promptly

AustraliaCity Style Apartments allocates their guests to one of their 50 apartments across 18 different buildings. I found out which apartment I was allocated to with less than 24 hours notice. The location did not suit me and I did not have enough time to cancel without penalty and book elsewhere. I was told that I should have informed staff about my preferences earlier. In their defence, they do say that they will allocate you to whichever apartment is available in their fine print. I think that this should be more obvious. They should call their business 'Mystery Apartments' because you just don't know where you will end up. The communication with staff was generic and unsympathetic. They provided me with the wrong entry code to get into the building. The apartment was very dusty around the skirtings and window sills. I wiped things down because I did not want to live in the dust for four days. The blinds are very dusty and should be replaced.
I was 'allocated' an apartment on Allara Street. The apartment was very quiet, spacious and had everything I needed. The mezzanine arrangement was very pleasing and the courtyard was sunny. The apartment block was quiet and opposite the Canberra pool and within easy walking distance to the lake.

AustraliaAirconditioner in main living area was noisy. No parking reserved or 5 minute only parking for customers arriving and needing to collect key from drop box. No parking available to drive car out then return to the apartment to leave the key. Had to park on the nature strip then return key to apartment.
Spacious apartment. Quiet location. Comfortable bed. Close walking distance to Casino where we had dinner on two evenings. Pleasant view from main living room and bedroom. Handy to use the washing machine, clothes airer and ironing board all located in the apartment.

AustraliaThere were a few stains on the carpet and couch. Check-in wasn't a good experience without the help of staff or a help number to call. The heater blew out air but the fan was broken and needed to be held up with tape.
Location was great, a short walk from restaurants, cafes and shops. Nice and quiet apart from some traffic nosie, but that's to be expected in the city centre. Apartment has its own dishwasher, kitchen, washing machine and dryer. Everything was neat and clean.
