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 StatesWe don’t read German, and couldn’t interpret the graphic symbols on the control panel of the washing machine. But the on-site manager came up to our unit and showed us how to operate it.
Our accommodation at Residenza Vivian was a large one bedroom apartment on the waterfront of Lake Maggiore. It had a full well equipped kitchen, living room, bathroom, porch, and spacious bedroom with a queen sized bed. It also had a washing machine and dryer, which we greatly appreciated. It’s near the train station. So it was easy to visit Lugano and Bellinzona by train. And the cost was the same, or a bit less, than a hotel room!

SwitzerlandSmall issues only: there was no way to turn on the showerhead in the bathtub. Not a big deal as we could take baths or use the shower in the other bathroom, but it was odd to have a showerhead with no way to direct water to it. The fridge door had a tendency to stay cracked open.
Great location and really amazing view. Large apartment, very clean, comfortable, well-appointed with everything we could need. Nice, safe building. Easy check-in/check-out. Big balcony.

SwitzerlandThe parking is very uncomfortable due to the narrow parking spaces (per car) and narrow common way. That being said, do note 1. Parking is on-premise. 2. A designated spot is assigned to you. 3. Most parking spaces are empty (which helps to get in and out). 4. It is free. So this is a minor nuisance.
The apartment is exceptional, especially for families with kids. The lake view is breathtaking, the kids loved the balcony. The location is central, and everything (in Locarno) is within walking distance.

SwitzerlandWe had a lovely extended weekend in Locarno, and our stay at Residenza Vivian could not have been a better experience. Extremely comfy and clean apartment, with many amenities and a breathtaking view of Lago Maggiore. The location is perfect, right next to the lake at the very heart of Locarno. The hosts are simply fantastic - everything was well organized and super easy, just the way one wants it to be when on vacation. Strongly recommended!
