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 KingdomThere was a dangerous standard lamp with exposed wires in the corner of the room. Some of the furniture eg the bedside tables were rickety and unstable. The crockery in the kitchen was minimal and some of it was chipped.
We loved the bells which rang regularly every hour. The flat was well laid out and the bed was comfy; the bathroom was great and the kitchen adequately equipped. The electrical sockets were adequate. The location is superb, you are right in the centre of the town and could hear people chattering in the street, the buskers and the clock in the town square. I know other people are not so keen on this but we really enjoyed it.

AustraliaThe building has an elevator but only from the second floor so expect to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs! A few simple additions would make the apartment more welcoming, e.g. some basic condiments (salt, pepper, etc), tea bags, and a few pods for the coffee machine! Some basic tourist information would also benefit guests, e.g. a Lausanne guide and map. For the TV, an ability to Chromecast would be great (better than cable channels).
Our studio apartment was spacious and comfortable, with a modern bathroom. Shops, cafes, restaurants and the excellent Manor supermarket are all nearby. A Metro station is also close by. The street can be noisy but quietens down in the evening. (Weekends might be different.)

NetherlandsWe had to walk stairs which was difficult given the limited mobility of one of the family members. The bed was decent, but not too comfortable. Internet was reliable but not very fast.
Very easy to get into the property: the access codes were emailed ahead and parking place was near - even though the property is right in the centre of Lausanne. The property was clean and well equipped (with little kitchen, shower, etc).

North MacedoniaThe room had a low ceiling so it was a bit claustrophobic for a tall person. The heating was going off from time to time, so it was a bit cold in the room. The first floor doesn’t have access to an elevator so if you are coming with big suitcase it might be a problem. The room being in the entrance hallway, you could hear a lot of noise, especially children crying.
The room was very clean and it was well equipped. It was very comfortable and the location being in the center made it perfect.

QatarThere is an elevator but only from first floor onwards, you have to climb some stairs first from ground floor. You can also hear the church bells in the room but nothing too loud.
The room was sufficient with a nice bed and basic kitchen facilities (refrigerator, microwave, stove, etc). The location was also very central with bakeries, supermarkets and shops nearby. The hosts were also very responsive on any queries and very helpful.

United KingdomNothing.
Well decorated, spacious, good shower, kitchen equipment and TV. We were able to leave our cases in the shop underneath the studio (while the shop was open) and they took them up for us when the room was ready. This was very helpful. Good communications with the hosts. The property is well located in Lausanne. It is very close to a metro which is very handy for avoiding steep walks in the city (e.g. from the train station) and for accessing Ouchy.

United StatesWe did not cook but it would have been nice to have some napkins or paper towels in the kitchen for eating take out.
The apartment was as described in the listing. It was very convenient for walking around the city. The fan provided was nice considering it was very hot at the time we were there. We opened the windows and used the fan to cool off. We liked that the bathroom was a good size and the shower was entirely enclosed unlike some European bathrooms. We used the sleeper sofa and the linens provided were comfortable and the mattress was not uncomfortable. The apartment was spacious enough for a family of 4 if you don't mind sharing a double size sofa bed and a queen size regular bed.
