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.).

FinlandThey accommodate us too late for the said check in time. We waited for so long and even chat how many times but no response. So we called via phone and the customer services answered but still we waited too long for the problem to be resolve. Such a bad experience because we are exhausted from the trip we want to rest and put our luggages but we can since they didn’t send us right away the door code and so on. Next is the cleanliness, the hallway or stairway was dark, smelly and dirty. And all dirty linen racks were on the doorway it’s hard to passby. No bidet on the toilet or even a sink where to was hands.
The location was great.

Bathroom dirty - toilet not been bleached or cleaned, moldy seal on shower screen - cracked tiles. No dishwasher. Daren't plug TV in as wires all frayed.Everything was scuffed, worn. Homeless people and people smoking drugs in the hallway (clearly walked in behind someone from street)

United KingdomBroken stairs to bedrooms and bathrooms- two of the steps were broken and made it extremely dangerous to use. Window/door to open was broken. Lights weren’t working on bedroom and main room. Shower was badly positioned and water temperature was inconsistent. Shower also leaked onto the floor. Toilet seat was broken and toilet was dirty. Smelt of sewers. Other guests were smoking outside of our room which wasn’t pleasant but that is our of the apartments control. All in all, needs a lot of maintenance, the location was the only thing that saved it!

United KingdomNo description to retrieve the key after using the code. The drains in the bathroom/toilet smelt badly. The shower base skirtings was filthy. One of the rooms ceiling light was faulty and the lamp on the side was not working either. The entrance to the block of flats was filthy and always had people from the betting shop loitering about or sitting there. The lobby was dingy and a crate of dirty laundry left on the side. The kitchenware was chipped and did not cover the full range of kitchen appliances needed. No toaster!! No bins in the bedrooms. sofas insufficient. No electric fan to help with the summer heat.
The size of the flat. The location was very convenient. The Wi-Fi.

United KingdomThe bedrooms are very basic , essentially just containing a bed. There is only one bathroom which has the toilet in so worth bearing in mind if go as a group. There was a smell from the drains and black mould above the shower which from a commercial let should have been addressed. Not deep cleaned as very dusty lamp fittings downstairs These are general observations on the property. Our experience was impacted by the state of the apartment when we arrived and actions of company thereafter. Check in is not until 4pm, so quite late. When we arrived the apartment was in total chaos after what had clearly been a heavy party and with no sign that those involved had left . There were numerous bottles of alcohol scattered. We collected 10 cannisters of fastgas. As we had no idea what we would find upstairs we told the children to stay downstairs whilst we checked and inspected for other drug related items. The apartment was empty but upstairs the beds were unmade and dirty, broken glass and general disorder. When we contacted smart let were advised that the apartment had been cleaned!! After convincing them it hadn't they sent a team who arrived with the hour and cleaned the property and changed the bedlinen etc. Whilst I received several emails from Smartlet, asking us to review the apartment we had nothing relating to the disorder we had encountered. After providing them with an opportunity to contact us, as we had heard nothing further I contacted them. We received an email with an apology that the apartment did not meet our expectations and a 15% discount on a future booking. Not meting expectations may reflect the mould, smell and dust etc but not the state of the apartment we entered and which we were advised had already been cleaned. We have heard nothing further.
The apartment is a good size and well located . The company who manage it were responsive before our arrival in relation to questions about parking. The apartment has 3 good size bedrooms which are functional but very basic, The downstairs is comfortable for a group of 6

United KingdomLeaking bathroom tabs, dated and old bath shields. Only one set of towels offered, no extra towels for next day. No wardrobe to put the clothes, messy toilet with stuff thrown on the side. Very minimalistic. Will recommend improvements as location is good and flat is big, also is not cheap, hence I would expect better.
Location being central, however noise outside was until early hours of the morning.
