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 KingdomNo negative points whatsoever.
Oréliane met us to let us in and show us the apartment and help with the garage. She could not have been more helpful. She was so friendly and welcoming, gave us some brilliant advice on nearby bakeries and coffee shops (which we went to & were FANTASTIC) and the Traboules and other historical sites of the old town, which we had a lovely time walking round with a coffee & pain au chocolat. The apartment itself is absolutely stunning, petite and unique, light, airy, quiet and spacious, and decorated and equipped to a very high standard, with beautiful artistic style. The spiral stone staircase and garden view added to this also. Oréliane was very fast to respond to any questions and check that our stay was all going well. I highly highly recommended this property & wonderful host, and will definitely return in the future to see more of Lyon, which was only supposed to be a brief stop en route from Germany to the South of France, but turned out to be a such a surprisingly lovely city.

United KingdomThe property is pretty compact, but has everything you need for a short weekend break - not sure it’s spacious enough or has enough storage for longer than that though.
Great location in a quiet building above the old town of Lyon - you can walk everywhere (as long as you can cope with the steps coming back up from town) Oréliane was extremely helpful and communicative giving us a detailed overview of the city and recommendations of what to see and where to eat.

FranceToo short stay...I have to come back to this accommodation for a visit of Lyon with my family.
Very nice accommodation within the "old" city centre of Lyon. Really charming and comfortable apartment. Really beautiful view on a part of Lyon city as the accommodation is located on the hill. Close to typical city centre with facilities and 10min walk away from Notre Dame de Fourvière, a marvellous worthseeing site. Last but not least: warm welcome from the host Oreliane.

AustraliaWe liked everything . You do need to be fit as there are about 200 steps from the main pedestrian area to the apartment. A taxi can take you to the front door.
We stayed in the apartment with a view to the courtyard. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Orliane was very welcoming and gave us very good advice on what to see and where to eat in Lyon.

United StatesIf you have mobility issues and don't like stairs and hills this may not be the place for you. There isn't a lot of sound insulation between the adjacent units. This dis not bother us at all but it might bother you.
Our hostess was one of those people who reaffirm my love for humanity. She was warm, welcoming and took the time to orient us in the city that she loves and helped us fall in love with it ourselves. Lyon is a gem and this flat is a great place to see it from. It is a flat in an older building on a steep hill in the old town. Great place to not feel like tourist.

CanadaVery quiet and comfortable, lots of nice touches and the host, Oreliane, gave us great suggestions for restaurants and sightseeing. Easy check in and out, no problem being picked up / dropped off by Uber. Apartment is part way up the hill towards the Cathedral, was good exercise walking up/down the road and stairs from central Old Town.
