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.).

United KingdomThe cat that kept jumping up on kitchen counters when I was preparing food. Lack of air conditioning could be a problem, however we did have a fan in our bedroom although we couldn’t open the patio door as the cat would come into the bedroom. We were also told to put the patio chairs back under the table when finished. I didn’t appreciate receiving an email telling me to vacuum and deep clean the bathroom before leaving - this is surely why I paid $100 cleaning fee. I was also accused of not cleaning the hob even though I hadn’t used it. (Angelina decided it must have been the other guests who had left it a mess but didn’t apologise to me). Dishwasher only put on once during the 6 days we were there. No microwave.
The location is superb. Balcony with sea view and we had the very spacious bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Angelina was very helpful regarding places to visit.

Sitting on the balcony, with the fragrance of sea salt and pine trees, on a warm, balmy, evening; listening to the sound of the ocean. A large spacious room. A spotless apartment. A lively host. What’s not to like!

AustraliaThe room was very small and airless. Had to keep door closed due to cat making herself at home on bed. No lift on Monday to carry bags down to car in basement so I had to leave a day early. Apartment is on 3rd floor so had to carry bags down 4 flights of stairs. Host knew about lift not going to be operating well in advance to me arriving and failed to inform me. I had informed her that I was disabled and couldn't go up and down stairs in my booking. Place very difficult to find as is entry is not on North Steyne but in Whistler St. There was no microwave and television didn't work. She was reluctant to put air conditioner on but found me a fan to use during my stay. I found it difficult staying in the host's own apartment with her animals.
I liked the location

AustraliaThe place was so small, very hot because they didn't switch on the aircon and even a fan wasn't offered. When I arrived l ask for the aircon and c turned it on then I went to get the rest of our luggage and fetch my husband and when we're back the aircon was switch off and we were so hot all we could do is to take a quick shower and we have to fan ( using the hand fan) ourselves to keep cool while in our room. Even after later at night when where back late in the evening it was still so hot and when we open the window it was so noisy from cars or drunken people yelling from the street. The shared bathroom/toilet is so small and full of displays and you could hardly moved because you might knock off something. Checking in is unorganised. I think it's more a backpackers accommodation. Overall this is the most uncomfortable accommodation I have experience. We were even ask to clean up the bathroom after using it. We were there to enjoy not to clean someone's house. So ended up using public showers and toilet I'm the building. We only use her shower once and just spend most of our time in the beach or restaurant to stay cool. Sorry but I think she just want to show off her place. So no for us this accommodation.. zero rating because I didn't enjoy my stay. I couldn't sleep well at all because of the heat and noise from outside and also white noise from the building exhaust I think.

ChinaEverything was fantastic and as advertised.
This is a beautiful place to stay. The location is amazing and the view is magnificent. Our host Angelina was kind, thoughtful and generous, such as offering to drive us to the supermarket and ferry. Our room was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. The kitchen had everything you need. The whole place was so clean! We particularly loved sitting on the balcony each night. Thanks for a lovely stay.

AustraliaNothing to dislike to be honest. Just perfect homely and comfortable. Like a home away from home. Except much nicer than my own home.
Fantastic massive room with balcony and ensuite. Modern and comfortable with easy access and a wonderful friendly host. Parking available onsite or they can issue a street parking permit. Directly across from the beach, less than 2min walk to lots of cool trendy cafes on Pittwater Rd and a 5min walk to the Manly Corso area. Will definitely stay again when in the area.
