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 appartments were very loud. We couldn’t make much noise and had to keep reminding the kids to keep their voices down as we could hear the rooms next to us and at one point the downstairs apparently were banging the roof because we were too loud for them. We also would have loved if there were cleaning products supplied such as multipurpose cleaner and a broom.
The kitchen and living area was large and spacious, it had all the amenities we needed for the family and to cook food. Also had a washing machine and dryer. The bathrooms and showers were really nice. The location was walking distance to the mainstreet.

AustraliaWasn’t provided with adequate bedding for the number of people on the booking. There wasn’t enough towels initially. Not enough plates, no provision of dish liquid to be able to wash up. Tea and coffee provided but not even a small milk in the fridge. Cleanliness was only just ok. There were hairs around the apartment from previous guests or the cleaner and the tiles still dirty. The bedding provided was stained. The dish scoured was used and dirty and several dishes also not cleaned properly. Wi-Fi was very poor.
Very spacious and great proximity to cowes and lots of amenities. Good car parking

AustraliaTV didn't work properly and the showerhead wasn't very strong. Couch was quite uncomfortable.
Location was close to the main strip of shops. Room was very spacious and had two balconies. There was a garage located below the room for keeping my car which was great because it was out of the elements. Bed's were really good and bathroom was nice. Lots of space to put clothing.

AustraliaFinding the place was difficult. (I noticed someone else wandering around not being able to find the block. She carted a hefty suitcase up to the third floor only to find she was in the wrong building. 2 of the 3 buildings are not labelled. She was carrying a map (obviously not from booking.com) albeit a terrible one - I couldn't make head nor tail of it) There were 2 of us and we are not a couple - when we finally found the place we were told there was no sofa bed booked and we might have to pay $50 a night for the linen. Initially, he said there was no sofa bed but then he showed us how the couch opened out after talking to his boss. The host did bring us linen at no cost but it was embarrassing for a moment there. I went back and checked the site and it had the sofa bed as an option at that price and you didn't have to select it (as the host said) There must've been a communication breakdown from booking.com to the host. To be fair, all of these things are trivial now because they get sorted but I would've demanded a refund if they weren't. Additionally - The deck was filthy. If you walked onto it with bare feet they got covered in dirt. It might have been the previous guest but the glasses were wet and turned upside down and the floors were wet.
The location was fantastic and the views were pretty good - as advertised. The apartment was well fitted out.

AustraliaNo lift in the building - have to climb a lot of stairs with our luggage. No ac or heater in the bedroom, so it’s cold in the night. No extra toilet paper or rubbish bag unless you ask for it - make sure to check the toilet paper when you check in! Also, the check-in instruction not sounds like welcoming guests, but more like requiring someone to following their orders… and.. if you want extra bedding for the sofa bed, they would charge you extra money for it…
Good location. Spacious living room.
