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.).

Czech RepublicUnfortunately the bed was very uncomfortable. The material (some plastic under the mattress and the noises woke us up more times a night.
Great location near the train station and next to a nice pub (but not noisy!) The kitchen was small but enough for easy cooking. The best part was the terrace which was great for eating out.

IrelandI wish better shampoo/body wash was provided rather than sachets and fresh towels would've been nice but these are very small issues that really didn't affect our stay. The only big thing is that the bed was a bit uncomfortable and we didn't feel very well rested after sleeping in it.
The property was extremely clean and tidy, and the host was incredibly kind and attentive. The balcony was beautiful and everything we needed was provided. The kitchenette was fully equipped and there were towels and soap available. We were slightly worried about the location when we initially arrived but inside the property is so lovely and feels very secure. It is perfect for a short stay as long as you're up for adventuring out to different areas! The bus services were nearby and a carrefour wasn't too far.

New ZealandCan only use laundry in a small time frame in the afternoon, which is annoying if you want to be out. Neighbourhood isn’t the greatest. Room was quite dark. Owner wasn’t great at replying to messages promptly.
Terrace was really nice. Free washer and dryer. Cleaner was kind to us.

SpainThe accommodation managers were never attentive to my arrival and never gave me instructions on how to get my room keys. When I arrived they would not answer the phone and I was left on the street with my luggage for hours until some guests helped me. Despite this they never apologised and after paying the tourist tax for the days of my stay they asked for it again weeks after the end of my trip. Control and concern for the guests is terrible and in the bathroom there is practically no soap to wash with.
The location of the accommodation in the city center is good

SwedenNothing that I really disliked at the moment of being there, everything was neat and clean, it felt cosy and at home - however, later lodgings I stayed at during my tour showed additional rating context, so to speak. Some offered a bottle of water in the fridge, some offered washing soap. It's nothing I couldn't cope with, but definitely a very nice add-on.
I liked that it was a mini studio with its own, fully equipped (fridge, pots, cutlery, sink, etc) kitchenette which opened some budget-level eat-in options. Had I stayed for longer, I would have probably taken advantage of the charming patio, but I was out during the daytime.

United KingdomI wouldn't stay here again due to location, but everything else was fine. (don't feel safe walking alone at night, neighbourhood is quiet and dark)
It was a decent size, and not a far walk from Saint Charles Station. However location wasn't great, felt like the backstreets and were quiet and dark I wouldn't feel safe walking here alone. Key process was simple and easy - I just communicated my arrival time (late) before arriving. Room was spacious but in comparison bed was small, it was a double but if you're sharing with someone you're not in a relationship with it can feel quite small (even a different orientation in the room would make it feel bigger). Has a small kitchenette with pots, cutlery and crockery but no essentials like salt, oil etc

FinlandThe location. It was quite far from the city and the neighborhood was relatively dirty. Also the room was a little bit mirthless, no colors or anything.
There was everything you would need in the room. Fridge, microwave, oven, showers, coffee maker, blackout curtains and stove to mention but a few. Also we visited there in august and the room temperature was suprisingly suitable

United KingdomQuiet location. The big terrace made it feel more roomy. Bit of a hike down to the old port - about 40 minutes
We had a big terrace at the back of the room. There’s a good bar 2 doors down that does nice food.

IraqNo fan or ac which makes the room so hot and humid at nights. We could not open a window or door as then people could see us ( with better curtain will be ok ). Sound proof is bad . Bed is terrible and need to be change as we both had pain everywhere because of it
I like the facilities like washing machine, ironing, small kitchen which is good. With nice garden. Location is quite okay, it’s quite and not far from the center, close to the station. Also, the girl is quite helpful

BelgiumI would have given a 9 out of 10, but some of the utilities didn't work in our kitchenette. We ate soaked pasta instead of cooked pasta :D. That's what you get when you want to travel lowcost.
The appartment/studio we rented was l9cated in the 4th arondissement, which is one of the older neighbourhoods of Marseille. It is llovely to stroll towards the cafés at the squares...The subway is some 10 minutes away. The appartment was neat and tidy. It was superhot during our stay and we survived our nights thanks to the fan. There's no airco. The studio has a beautiful garden and terrace that is accessible to everyone I would have given a 9 out of 10, but some of the utilities didn't work in our kitchenette.

United KingdomNote, the location isn’t especially near the port and historical centre. Fine if you like walking, about 25 minutes from train station and 40 from old port/town. No air con or fans in rooms: it’s very hot in summer.
The property is clean. It’s very very simple, you get what you pay for here, but there’s a fridge, sink, tv, towels etc. this is all welcome for the price you’re paying. The arrangements for late arrival, keys and codes etc all very efficient.

Close to the centre of Marseille ( environ 25min on foot) , Is a cozy room with all the things: kitchen for cooking, small bathroom, TV etc.). You can Cook and be Independent. There Is a small bar near the residence call "the flash", you can drink a beer close to the room. It Is in a silent street so you can sleep good in the room

Czech RepublicIt was so hot in the room that even a fan that was available there didn't help much (but certainly saved our lives still), so it might be uncomfortable to sleep there during the night in summer. The shower is super smol with some very inconvenient door mechanism. Also our appartment (21) floor was downhill kinda and there was a storm during the night and half of the room got flooded with water (most likely from a different flat because the floor under our window was dry and we closed it for the night too). Had to clean up the water by ourselves as I couldn't find anyone in the building at that time in the morning (so a person next-door let us borrow a mop).
Nice place to stay at with low budget with all needed appliances and a small kitchenette and fridge, that was very appreciated. The owners communicated pretty fast via messages and being able to get the keys and then leave them in a post box made things easy and very convenient as we had to check out at 3am.

LithuaniaThe staff understands 0 english words, so it might be difficult if you don't understand french at all. The shower and toilet room was very cramped and small. There was no air conditioning, the room got extremely hot. The terrace shown in pictures is horrible - filled with mosquitos and serves no purpose but to have a smoke. Overall, if you are looking for comfort, this is not the place to stay, however it is worth the value and is quite cheap and pretty nice for the price you pay.
The place is rather close to a center and was very clean. Definitely expected worse for such a low price. The beds were comfortable and the room had fridge with a mini kitchen which was nice. Overall, nice place for a cheap price, especially considering it being close to center.
