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.).

Belgiumthe Wifi was probably overloaded (not enough IP addresses available) and dropped out all the time. Even 4G was bad inside the place with bad reception. The key code to enter failed too, I stayed 1h in front of the door with a door code that didn't work. After a lot of calling back and forth, I got a new code to finally enter the room. The bed was a mattress on the floor, next to a dismantled bunkbed. Chair and table hardly accessible due to bunkbed in the way..., the room was nothing like any of the photos shown... and there was no staff on the location to help.
had a kot to sleep...

GreeceWe had problem with the check in procedure. We followed every step according to their instructions and when we finally managed to open the door of the apartment we had to deal with a dirty and under construction room. We tried to contact them, they didn’t answer to us and when they finally did, they asked to send them photos through email in order to see what was happening in order to call us back. They never called and we had again to look for them. After all of these troubles they gave us the door password for another apartment in the third floor (without elevator) and guess what, the door couldn’t open and we couldn’t enter the apartment. And as if we had managed all of these unpleasant situation we found out that we had cockroaches in the apartment.
In a very good location, near to everything in Leuven. It had warm water and heating.

BelgiumThe mold ! The bathroom was with mold on the ceiling, and the room was so small that the smell was all over in it. The fact that you show pictures of studio/appartement, paying 84€ and receive a room with the smell of mold. The heating system was also connected before I arrived. It was 40°C when I enter the room. I had to open the window cuz I couldn't stay with that heat. The TV was not working at all. I won't step a foot again there and won't recommend your establishment

United KingdomThe flats for this business are still being built - After entering the building we found downstairs was largely a building site with builders working during the day, loose wires hanging from the ceiling and a portaloo! Half of the flats were unmarked and we were not told which number flat we were - only the code. This meant we had to try random codes for all of the many flats in the building owned by Smartflats. We met another tenant who had the same problem and advised contacting the organisation which he said had taken him several hours. Fortunately we found our flat eventually. Upon entry our flat was extremely hot, the only openable 'window' was a large door to a balcony but the handle was broken, we also noticed the hinges of the door were not all attached therefore chose not to use the door as it seemed unsafe/unattached and therefore it was difficult to cool the room quickly. It would have been extremely dangerous in the event of a fire.
The location was very central, overall the flat has the necessary facilities for our short stay including bed, sofa bed, clean linens and towels and a coffee machine and functional kitchenette.

Dirty and unfinished main entrance, no proper light and even completely dark in the hall which didn't feel safe in the night. Paint in bathroom not suitable for bathrooms, cannot be cleaned properly is dripping looks bad even though is new.

BulgariaThe apartment was in a bad state of disrepair. uneven wooden floor that we almost stipped over the first time we walked in, bathroom walls were all discoloured and there was discolouration of the paint above skirting boards. The whole place looked like it has had a lot of water damage that was just masked and not properly repaired. The place was advertised as having a bed and extension sofa, however the sofa was so deformed it was the shape of a hammock - impossible for even two small kids to use as they were rolling over each other. So the kids were with my wife on the bed ( which was large enough for the three of them! - so that's a plus), and I had to suffer on the sofa. Guess you get what you pay for and would search for something else next time I am in Belgium.
Location was great.

United KingdomHost email me the door code, but door code panel was disabled and I have waited outside for 45 min and one guest come out from the flat and told us, door is open and no need door code. In front of the access corridor there was 2 big cage, so it was so difficult to access the corridor also its not safe for FIRE, so it's very uncomfortable and dangerous in case of fire. Also we call the host on the provided number and called 3/4 times, but no one answer or return our call for a single time. There was no hot water and surprisingly there was no water in the shower, so we cannot have our shower during our stay, which is more disappointing than anything. I did not feel safe and comfortable at all during my stay, and its disappointing.
Propery was in good location and near to centre. Very clean and nice studio flat. All kind of facility was there.
