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 KingdomWifi was a bit spotty one night, but could have been the provider's fault rather than LIVs Some noise from the stairwell, can hear people coming and going, however this was infrequent and not late at night Could do with some more shelving or drawers/wardrobe to store clothes- we ended up keeping ours in our bags as there was nowhere really to put them other than a single small shelf
Extremely convenient location only a couple of minutes walk from the main station and Cologne Cathedral, yet set back enough from the main roads to be relatively quiet Very clean room and bathroom, the kitchenette is also a nice touch with a fridge, kettle and hotplate along with plenty of kitchenware and cutlery

United KingdomThe floor was tiled, which was a worry with little ones as they can slip/fall out of bed etc. The sofa bed was very squeaky and no lamps for evening lighting
Location was great very close to the train station, the place felt secure with the keypad entrance and locked gate to the street, clean, tidy, everything we could need was there, iron etc.

United StatesNo parking available. We had rented a car so we had to find public parking over by the cathedral and walk to the apartment. The other downside was that there was no elevator. We were on the top floor so dragging all of our luggage up 60 steps after walking a half mile from the parking garage was a little brutal.
This was a great little apartment in the heart of Cologne. We were within walking distance of the cathedral, train station, shopping and food.

IrelandIt would have been great to have a toaster oven or microwave, cooking everything on a mini-hob is a bit more complicated. The room we stayed in was also only one story up, so very close to the street, and you can hear every person walking by. It's a side street, so it doesn't happen too often, but noisy when it does.
It was so lovely to have a cheap, bare basics option in a busy city. The bed was comfy. They provided plenty of toilet paper, shampoo, spare toothbrushes, etc. It's a superb location, right next to the Central Station.

United KingdomOnly two nespresso pods for 2 people for 3 nights stay. The toiletries were literally a shower gel and some toothbrushes. Only camomile or lemon tea. No vending machine. No air con. Window looks directly into office across the street so you have to have the curtains closed all the time, which in almost 30 degree heat was uncomfortable. Netflix doesn’t work and non of the apps did on the tv either. Make sure to take an adapter as no usb slots.
Super comfy bed, very clean. Centrally located. Locking system is very secure. Good sized fridge. All basic cooking needs provided for.
