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.).

AustraliaThis place is not suitable for older people as there is no lift and you have to climb 3 flights of stairs. The room was ok and spacious, but to go anywhere you had to climb up and down stairs. It was close to the ocean and walk area.

GermanyUnfortunately, the apartment was extremely dirty and in poor condition on arrival, so we had to do some makeshift cleaning ourselves on the first night. After complaining a cleaning team was sent, then it was acceptable except for the fan. Unfortunately the ceiling in the small bedroom was leaking so that it dripped onto the bed during heavy rain. This was not fixed during the entire stay of almost 2 weeks, so when it rained our child's bed got wet - which is totally unacceptable. Sad was the response of the landlord - no acceptance of responsibility or apology or compensation for the desolate condition - the blame was simply put on the property management and the cleaning service. Completely unacceptable behavior. As mentioned in other reviews, there is no elevator, no air conditioning and no dining table in the apartment. Absolutely not recommended for a longer stay.

AustraliaThere is no privacy lock in the bathroom door. Coffee is a chore! You need to grind the beans, then somehow get it into the reusable pods, make the coffee - but then no milk is supplied! The unit sleeps four but there’s only 3 stools out on the verandah, no where to dine inside. There was mould on the cupboard in the main bedroom. No air conditioning! For the price we expected far more.
The property is located directly across the road from the ocean, but travellers should beware that it’s on the 4th floor with no lift! Not great for my 75 year old mother and her 84 year old friend. Also it’s within walking distance to the surf club and a few cafes but walking up hill on return - then the stairs.
