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 air conditioner in the second bedroom did'nt work properly. Had to leave the door open and put the lounge room air conditioners on. The shelf in second bedroom wardrobe was dusty and transfered onto our clothes.
Great unit. Beautiful outlook. On river and next to park and walking paths. Comfortable. Clean apart from shelf in second bedroom. Location excellent. Shopping mall over the road.

AustraliaA fair bit of wear and tear in the room. Also there was a screaming child in a neighbouring apartment and it echoed in the hallway and was quite disruptive.
Room was clean, location on the water was really nice and the bed was comfy.

United StatesThe billing did not have any detail and just said lodging and a total amount. It did not even show how many days stay I had, or when I checked in and out. This make it very hard to get reimbursement from my employer for business stays.
Apartment had a great layout, good furniture and appliances. The air con was not working well but was fixed while I was there. The full kitchen was great, but make sure to take a minute and read how to turn on the stove, it is not obvious. Covered parking was perfect. Restaurants were but a few minutes away, along with Willows mall.

AustraliaThe unit we stayed in was clean, hygienic and comfortable but because we have been staying in this complex since it was new, I felt this unit was starting to look a little tired. I thought it could do with a tile blasting/deep clean and a touch of paint to bring it back to it's 5 star state. It wouldn't deter me from staying again but is the reason I give it a very good rather than exceptional.
We have been staying here for many years and like the location by the river, the spacious, modern and well equipped apartments. The off street parking is good and the lifts are easy to get things up to the apartment. The apartments had good kitchens with an oven, stove, dishwasher and full laundry making longer stays easier. The bathrooms were clean and the linen was fresh and white and the beds were comfortable.

AustraliaThe beds were rock hard and we all have sore back. The pillows were too thin, not much water pressure in the shower, the fridge wasn’t cold enough and the toilets didn’t flush properly. The kitchen needs more utilities such as better knives and a bigger cutting board etc. Also needs a clothes airier.
The location was perfect for us with where our child was playing football. Lots of room in the apartment.

AustraliaShabby and grimy apartment. This is our 4th stay at Itara and I keep hoping we will get a better apartment as my kids love the location, but in terms of cleanliness and general condition of each place it is always disappointing. It is hard to enjoy a stay when you can’t relax for grimy surfaces, strangers, hairs in the shower, dirty cushions, stained furniture, grimy windows etc.
Spacious & nice location

AustraliaThe carpets had recently been cleaned but were not dry - in fact, they were so damp that we had to be extremely careful walking from carpet to tile. The very wet carpets created a very unpleasant musty odour which did not abate for a couple of days. We left the RACs on in order to dehydrate the moisture from the room which seemed to help, but we had to use room deodorant to spend time in the apartment.
Location was very good as it was a short distance to my family members, especially for Christmas celebrations

AustraliaApartment block was directly under the airport flight path. Very noisy, along with the all day & night noisy walkers/runners. Dirty wet area tiles PLUS a leaking refrigerator - possibly worn seals. Behind both of the bathroom basins - which weren't affixed to the backing wall - there was a build-up of black scum.
Shopping & restaurants nearby. Good park & walkway facilities. Good security.
