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 KingdomHaving the WiFi connection included would have been a plus.
Room was pretty comfortable, roomy and kept clean. Place was near a supermarket and also some restaurant, at just 400m from the train stop. I suggest this place. And also the host was very welcoming :)

GermanySome things could be better for sure but for the price it's good value, everything you need and clean. I couldn't complain.
It is exactly like on the pictures and luckily with a water boiler in the room. :) The heating worked well and the host was friendly. The other guests took care of the night times to be quiet, leaving the bathroom clean and the train connection is good to the center. I was a bit worried because I read some negative reviews - however the accommodation is exactly like on the picture, so if people have more expectations of what they see or read in the description, it's not the hosts fault. Read what is and isn't included and look at the furniture in the pictures and if that's fine for you, it's very good price for a comfortable stay. I can recommend it.

It was a little cramped, we where 3 people and it felt just right. The apartment is small, make sure to bring your own shampoo. The air conditioning costs money so take it into consideration.
The location is very nice and quiet, close to the river with amazing view clean air and the beds where comfortable. The apartment was clean and smelled good. There is a train station near by that will take you to cologne hbf. The host was a very pleasant person with very positive energy.

Ukraine1) Not really flexible check-in (I could make it at 20:00 without extra pay, but I was really nervous because my bus was a little bit late and I was afraid that I'll be late too :(((( 2) In my humble opinion, some things could be included into the whole price (for example, everybody today uses Wi-Fi and fridge) :D but that's okay, the Host has its own right to create rules. 3) One day I was getting back to my room late at night and I was nervous about not destroying everybody's sleep because of the old stairs that were loud :D but that's fine, I would not touch those stairs too, this is almost a historical item already :)
1) The location was very quiet and nice; almost near the Leverkusen Mitte bus station; 2) Room and bathroom were very clean and tidy; 3) You can drink tap water :D 4) I was able to do early check out, just leaving keys; 5) There was a fridge, microwave, kettle, coffee machine in the room (everything except the kettle was for extra pay, but maybe it is nice to have choice); 6) Bed linen and towels were provided, thank you; 7) Lidl was in 10 minutes walking; 8) Ms. Claudia was very friendly and helpful; 9) It was easy to find the place because of the house sign; 10) Ms. Claudia gave me Wi Fi access as a gift ❤️❤️❤️

United KingdomNothing. We had a shared bathroom but there were not issues with sharing it and we were right opposite so it felt like ours anyway.
The hotel is in a quiet, residential part of the city at the end of the tram line. You can get a tram into the centre within 5-10 mins or its a 5-10 min tax ride from the centre. The room was lovely and fine for our needs and the bed and bedding was sooooo comfy. The host was really nice and friendly and overall we had a great stay. Great price too.

SloveniaIt is a little bit funny to pay small amount for an internet access ...Haven't happend to me for ages. :) But OK, it is a house policy. Didn't bother me so much :)
Even if the room can host three people, I had it just for myself and price was still OK, even comparable with big dormitiries in the city. Also they arranged early check-in so I could leave my luggage. It is clean. Don't expect luxury, the point is to get a room for a reasonable price... The connection with the city center is regular and fast. Direct U-bahn line or buses... the only problem I see is public transport during the night on workdays ...

NetherlandsI was asked to pay 25 euros for late check in as we got there between 9 and 10, which is possible to select when booking. This fee is not mentioned in the description. We also did not receive any invoice for the amount payed. Moreover, the lady said the heating is turned off because it's warm enough. If we would have had this information before booking we would have chosen a different accomodation.
Check in / check out were simple and fast.
