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 Kingdom1 bathroom for 4 bedrooms and 6 beds could have been a bit uncomfortable at times. We managed, but would be so much better with an additional bathroom
Very clear instructions. Met at the property with the keys and host spent time to tell us all about the local neighbourhood and how to get around. Also allowed us to store our bags at the end of our trip. Beds very comfortable.

NetherlandsCould have been cleaner (bathroom and kitchen). There was no living room with sofas to relax. Only one bathroom with one toilet.
Great location, spacious apartment, comfortable beds, friendly hosts, some beers in the fridge and coffee we're available.

ChinaA great house, the landlord is hospitable and the service is very good. The location is excellent, very close to the train station, there are different supermarkets and restaurants nearby, and very close to scenic spots such as the cathedral. Will come again next time.

United StatesThe neighborhood was a little worrying at first; I definitely judged a book by the cover. Everyone was very nice and we never had an issue. We walked everywhere and enjoyed the area. Going forward, I would rebook and take my kids again without hesitation.
The apartment was very charming, spacious, and comfortable. We had a group of 6 (4 adults, 2 teens) with plenty of space. Daniela was warm and welcoming when we arrived. Her recommendations on what to do and how to get there were fantastic. We walked everywhere we wanted to go. I will definitely be rebooking when I visit Cologne in the future!

NetherlandsThe apartment is on the second floor and there is no lift. So in case you have heavy luggages or there are elderly people, it might be a bit difficult climbing 2 floors (which was the case for us)
The location is really good. The Cologne Cathedral is only around 7-8 mins walk. There is a paid parking place right opposite the apartment. The apartment itself is quite spacious with 4 bedroom and one kitchen + dinning area. The equipments in the kitchen are quite modern with plenty of crockeries. The host is quite nice and helpful

United KingdomThere was no sitting area other than the kitchen table which got very chilly in the evening. We had no instructions as to how to control the heating and eventually found a thermostat tucked away behind the bathroom door but couldn’t adjust it to make any difference. The housekeeper who lived two floors below didn’t speak English so we couldn’t ask her. We couldn’t get anything on the tv, again, no instructions. And it didn’t register before booking but there was one bathroom for an 8-person capacity and a separate toilet would have made life a bit easier!
The apartment was in a great location, less than a ten-minute walk from the central station. The bedrooms were lovely and spacious and the beds were comfortable. We generally we had everything we needed.

CanadaLack of AC meant we had to keep windows open to remain cool. Train noise goes all night, which makes it harder to sleep. Wifi is weak / disconnects in certain rooms and the internet is not very fast. Only has a single bathroom for many people which can be tough to manage.
Great location right next to the train station. The hosts are very inviting and accommodated us travelling with kids. Lovely property with many rooms, perfect for a large family. Nice bathroom and shower. Fully equipped kitchen.

GermanyTop location, just 10 minutes from the main train station - ideal if you're using public transport. Spacious apartment, comfortable, not overly luxurious but fine for our purposes - exploring the city and coming back to cook in the evening. Good shower! It's close to the railway line, so those who like to sleep with the window open and are sensitive to noise might have an issue. It didn't bother us. Supermarket 10-15 minutes' walk. Overall a good choice as a base for exploring Cologne, most of which we were able to do on foot.
