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.).

PolandOn the first day of our stay it was very cold despite the heating being on
The apartment is located in the very center of Sofia. It is very close to the stores and other sights of the city. The apartment is very well equipped. Great and quick contact with the owner of the property.

United StatesThese are just minor issues, but here goes: 1) The comforter wasn't already on the bed and we didn't notice it was in a closet with a bunch of other extra bedding until the second night, so we were a little cold the first night. 2) We appreciate the free coffee capsules but think it would have been even nicer to have been given one for each of us for each night (morning) we were there rather than the two we received.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The place was just as described in the pictures. We made good use of the kitchen, coffee maker, and washing machine. All three of us slept well, on the bed and on the sofa. We had nice hot showers and were very comfortable sitting in the living room. The host was very responsive whenever we had questions. The location is fantastic. We stayed two nights but gladly would have stayed longer had the apartment not been booked already and I would definitely stay there again if I ever went back to Sofia!

RomaniaToilet is small and especially the small sink makes it hard to properly wash your face (but is separate from shower which is good and quite spacious).
Great place for a great price. I didn't use many amenities except the coffee machine (can buy capsules from the Billa supermarket which is 10 min away). Loved the many power plugs conveniently placed around the house and the quirky design of the flat. Balcony it's also nice and it'll be much better with some nice chairs there (view is to the interior courtyard, green and peaceful). Location is busy during the day but once the shop close at 7-8 PM it becomes deserted.

BrazilMy experience could have been vastly improved if the customer service had been more attentive during my stay. A few timely replies and personalized messages would have made a significant difference, rather than the impersonal automated responses I received. Unfortunately, when faced with serious issues, it seemed I couldn't rely on the host for assistance. Effective communication is crucial in the hospitality industry, and it's disappointing that this aspect was lacking in my experience. While the host was diligent in reminding me of check-out procedures and house rules, they were unresponsive when I raised concerns about two key issues in the apartment: the absence of an iron and a missing light in the bathroom. Instead of addressing these concerns, the host remained silent. To compound matters, when someone was sent to inspect the bathroom light without notice, it was at an inconvenient time, leaving me unprepared. Furthermore, the issue was not resolved, as the inspector merely confirmed the problem without fixing it. A simple message or apology from the host could have eased the situation, but none was forthcoming.
The apartment is well decorated and has all amenities needed

Cyprusmattress had a terrible smell (everybody must have sweated on that mattress), no matter how many times i washed the dishes it still smelled bad ao slept on the couch. bathroom is separate from toilet. not a problem until you realize the shower has an uneven floor so every tike you shower, no matter how long you leave the window open, the black floor with white groves will turn brown due to fungus. the toilet area was so small i could not sit without touching the side of the sink with my shoulder. now as facilities go, for 500 euro and - 10 day stay, i would have expected the guy to leave at least a little clothes washing detergent, but he was so stingy he left nothing. only thing that was left for us to use was a single dish washing tablet and a small body/hand/shampoo soap (was not enough for 10 days). he was even stingy with the toilet paper (2rolls where left for us). also the area is rly bad, i lived in bulgaria for 5 years and when i arrived and realized i was living near shenski baraz i freaked. i can not go outside comfortably at night as the area is quite bad. never ever staying there again!
nice and comfy couch
