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.).

AustraliaVery bad smell from the bathroom. A solution of a cover for the drain was offered by the host after we arrived. There already was a cover over one of the drains and it was still a very bad smell. I think a professional plumber needs to sort out that problem as it is very off putting. No wine glasses which I brought to the hosts attention. Also, no milk in the apartment. Some long-life milk would be appreciated.
Very good location. Handy to restaurants and theatres. Comfortable bed.

AustraliaThis has been one of the most disappointing and unpleasant stays I've had to review. We were given instructions the day before arriving that there would be a drop box pick-up of keys at a different address to this City Apartment. I have had to pick up keys from different locations before, but it has always been within the advertising of the property not the day before arrival. The key pick-up wasn't easy. Navigating your way around Brisbane's one way roads is challenging and you can't double park. It would be confusing for visitors/foreigners/elderly to access keys. Inside the Apt there was an overpowering rancid/sewage smell coming from x2 drains in the bathroom which were covered by plastic mats. This was confirmed and acknowledged by the Owners who are aware of the problem within the Building, but omitted to disclose this information at the time of Booking. This terrible nauseating smell went thru the whole Apt. If they knew about this issue then they should have disclosed this FACT before Bookings are made. Only 2 out of 3 lifts were working. The dishwasher in the Apt wasnt working, wire tied around the internal swing arm stopped it spinning, there was NO instruction manual. NO kitchen sink plug either. All these being 'confirmed' by Owners. NO tissues, a minor detail but usually in accomodation. 17 wine glasses but no serving bowls. Rubbish Disposable Shute on that floor was LOCKED so rubbish was left on the floor. There was unfortunately a Fire Alarm Warning on Saturday Night, that caused all 30 floors to evacuate. Walking down 16 flights of stairs to join a couple of hundred people outside. This wasnt the accommodations fault, but just added to its unpleasant stay.
The ‘only’ redeeming quality for this stay was the location to the Exhibition Centre Brisbane which was a few minutes walk from the Apartment.

AustraliaWalked in and the apartment stunk. Found paraphernalia for smoking drugs in the top cupboard. Immediately contacted management and was literally told to open a window. Have asked for compensation and have received none from the property as I was told I couldn’t prove it - despite photos and an email chain. Booking.com despite having “values” that they don’t tolerate illegal activity have simply offered a $50 voucher … so essentially I have to spend more money on a website that basically supports drug use in its listings. Don’t recommend staying here if you don’t like the smell of stale marijuana smoke, should have reported it to the police. Or looked for the drugs that may have been somewhere with it.
Good location.
