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 apartment was quite dark with little natural light or ventilation and it was hard to regulate the temperature, particularly overnight when the aircan was switched off. A sieve in the kitchen would have been useful. Car is an absolute essential.
Quiet location on a hill overlooking the town. Apartment had everything needed for a short stay, including many cooking essentials making it easy to self-cater. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Our hosts lived on site and made us feel very welcome.

United KingdomThe flight of 21 steps, mostly wooden and without handrails, were a worrying slip hazard after and during the rain.
The name 'Tranquil Garden Apartment ' says it all. A lovely peaceful haven on the edge of a busy town.

AustraliaIt is 33 steps up to the apartment. They are a mix of wooden and uneven sandstone flagging and no handrail. We were warned it was about 20. However we think that it should be pointed out that access is difficult for the elderly and for anyone who is not surefooted or who is in any way unsteady on their feet.
Very comfortable. Charming furnishings. Very thoughtful provisions.

United KingdomIt’s on top of a hill (clue in the address!) so can be a bit of a walk from loop bus and city/beach if you don’t have a car and especially when it’s hot - but Wollongong has a very good taxi and Uber service if needed.
Immaculately fitted out, tranquil location, excellent hosts - a high quality stay

Both the studio and apartment are located under/to one side of a residential house. It's a lovely location and only a short distance to town. It's newly renovated to a high standard, and the rooms are fabulous. Easy self Check in with lockbox. Gorgeous bedding, and pretty much everything you could think you might need. Starter breakfast was provided, along with tea/coffee etc. Well set up kitchenette with cook top. The hosts are lovely and would highly recommend a stay here.

EstoniaBe aware that you will not be alone in the house as there is an apartment next door (connected with a closed door) and locals living upstairs - the noise can be a lot sometimes especially when trying to sleep in the daytime. Although the instructions on how to use the airconditioner were clear, it still didn't work sometimes and it can me quite cold inside. Would recommend putting the TV channels in order as they were mixed up with radio channels and it was hard to navigate :-)
Located in a spetacular place, on the top of the hill surround by trees and exotic birds. The apartment in really spacious with lots of walking room. The piano was a lovely surprise and it's a shame that I'm not a pianist. The huge windows really let the light in and lets enjoy the place completely. There were essentials in the bathroom included. Welcoming snacks are always a sign of a top place and there was a variety. You have all the things you need to make there a homemade meal. The hostess was lovely and helpful.

AustraliaLocation as I did not have my car. Bus too far away. I am 76 so this might have suited a younger person. Steps to access were a challenge after a long day. My brother said he would have trouble getting up there with luggage.
The booking was for accommodation. Well catered for, very clean.

AustraliaThere is a flight of stairs from the road up to the apartment with no hand rail. This would not be a problem for most people however I think the website should mention the stairs to alert people, like me, who have some mobility issues.
The apartment was spacious and comfortable. A lovely sitting room, great for relaxing. The bed was very comfortable. Well set up kitchen and nice bathroom with lots of room. A very nice breakfast was provided
