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.).

The apartment was spotless and very welcoming. Beds extremely comfortable. Maria was super helpful from start to finish. She gave us lots of useful information, helped us find our way around and even ordered our taxi to the airport. We loved the little touches like the Athletic Club shirt and photo props.

SpainTwo issues, which cannot be resolved by Bilbao Living were that by decision of the majority of apartment owners the central heating only fully switched on around 9 AM (sunrise) which was a bit late for our liking during our January stay. When it worked, it was very efficient. Also, surely also for safety, the open space outside the block is very brightly illuminated in the night, which means that in one bedroom you have to lower the blinds fully or have a bright streak shining onto the bed. The kitchen equipment was fine, as holiday apartments go, but on other occasions we have had better equipped kitchens (knives, cooking gear, etc.). Asking for a lot, but given how nice the apartment was, a bit more adjustable lighting would have been nice for the evenings.
This very nice, modern and spacious apartment is located literally a few minutes walking distance from the old town of Bilbao. It is on the ground floor of a rather new building, which itself is in a somewhat elevated position compared to the old town. A public elevator, not easily spotted in Google Maps or Apple Maps, connects the street (Prim Kalea) with the open area around the apartment block, which really helped us, having one person with limited mobility. The underground parking (extra cost) is spacious and connected again by elevator. The beds were quite large for Spanish standards and comfortable. Having two bedrooms and bathrooms in addition to a living room and kitchen was very agreeable. There was easily sufficient storage space. A well equipped kitchen with a round table easily sitting four people comfortably allowed us to eat breakfast and sometimes a light dinner at home. Although in Bilbao, you may just want to go for the pintxos and other restaurant options. The washing machine and dryer were not needed for our short stay, but would have been extremely welcome on a longer trip. Maria, our host, could not meet us on arrival, but sent super-detailed instructions and step-by-step videos on where to pick up the keys, how to enter the parking and then how to reach the apartment. In general, Maria provided all sort of information, even sending material in different languages for some of our group. I don't think I have ever had such detailed care from a host in many years of using AirBnB or similar. Basic needs in the kitchen for your first days (coffee, tea, sugar, salt & pepper) were provided. Shopping options are quite close. Finally, if you haven't ever visited: Bilbao is a great city, not only for that famous museum, but also in general. The sea cost is not far and while we travelled by car, you could rather easily reach the sea by public transport. We will clearly intend to return on occasion.

GermanyNothing to complain about. Some suggestions: - It would be helpful to have a small light in the hallway to make it easier to "navigate" in the apartment at night. - There are strong lights in the living room, so dimmable options or an additional ambient lamp would be helpful.
The new apartment is located in Bilbao old town (a great place for activities and cuisine) very close to the main metro station and tram. The property is clean and large enough for 4 people, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, and a well-equipped kitchen (but you'll probably eat in the town a lot). We were very well supported by Maria before we arrived and she responded quickly to any request/question we had. Parking is available under the building and is easily accessible.

United StatesThe location is terrific for the old town, great for activities and an easy walk to most of central Bilbao. The host, Maria, was extremely helpful and accommodating -- she provided lots of information about the city before we arrived, was in close and responsive contact, and was flexible with our arrival needs (getting in early in the A.M. from an overnight flight, with two very sleepy children). The apartment is modern, comfortable, and well-equipped. Highly recommend.
