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 StatesThere is nothing that I did not like about about the facilities. The couple that owns the property is super friendly and inviting. I wanted to go on vacation and relax. The location is very close to the beaches and restaurants.
I love that the place was very quaint. I felt at home and relaxed, which is very much needed when on vacation.

United StatesNothing - it was great.
Host and lodging were both fabulous. Quiet, clean, serene, and well taken care of. You'll definitely need a car, but you're within 5-10 minutes of everything you'd need: beaches, stores, restaurants, and sites. We are definitely glad we booked - very private and lush settings. Also, for any last-minute needs there's a mini grocery store within 45 seconds walking distance for aloe, snacks, etc. Hosts were lovely to interact with.

AustriaThe apartment exceeded our expectations. Our studio was super clean, modern and the kitchen was fully equipped. Additionally we had beach towels, amazing beach chairs and a cooler for our use. The wifi was super fast, also outside the studio. The garden with the pool is awesome and a silent oasis - a great place to relax. We rented a car for our stay and the parking was super easy and secure in the complex. From the first second we felt very welcome - Michael is such an amazing host, so friendly and likeable. And on top, we had the possibility of a late check out which was great because of our late flight in the evening. We highly recommend the Aruba Boutique Apartments and when we come back to Aruba we definitely stay here again.

United StatesWe had a wonderful stay. The studio apt was very clean. It had everything you could need including nice beach chairs, cooler, ice packs and beach towels. Enjoyed the privacy and that it was only for adults. The pool is gorgeous and we enjoyed going in it after a long day at the beach. It was a great benefit to be able to do laundry on site for no charge. Also, in the laundry room, there is a shelf where people leave things that others might need such as sun lotion, baggies, books, etc. We will definitely be back!

United StatesNo fault of the owners, but we had a difficult time finding the site. The map we printed up had us looking on the other side of route 3. We stopped and asked at a few places and was sent in the wrong direction. Overall, Aruba does not seem to have many street signs or road markings. The sign for the property is set back off the road and was in the shade of a tree. My internet connection also did not work, so make sure you have good directions. Once you find it, it will be easier the second time!
The apartment we had was spacious, well set-up, and clean. The kitchenette was very useful. The huge bathtub was great for someone tall! It was nice to sit on the balcony in the morning and listen to the birds. It was very, very useful to have 2 beach chairs and a cooler to use everyday. The pool was enjoyable after a day at the beach. The property is well-maintained. The owners, Janine & Michael were very personable and helpful with any questions we had. We would stay here again or refer friends if asked.

Janine and Michael were welcoming and helpful as it was our first time in Aruba. The bed was very comfortable and we weren't disturb by any noices from within the complex or the surrounding area. Lovely beach towels were provided and laundry area for a longer stay. Cooler with plastic plates and silverware for the beach. Nice sitting area outside room.

United StatesAruba Boutique Apartments is a little Paradise, close to everything you need/want to explore on Aruba. The owners were very spontaneous and generous with recommending us things to do, places to eat/drink, and to explore via their own app. The apartments are clean and comfortable, equipped with well-functioning quiet AC, and the kitchen has everything you need! The pool is a big plus (very clean and well-maintained).
