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 RepublicThe location was perfect - walking distance to all the sights, bus stop infront of the house, underground station 1 minute walking. China Town for dinners and Soho for beer:) literally just around the corner. The room and bathroom were little bit used but still in a good shape - nothing to worry about, we did not expect 5* hotel:) Check-in and check-out very smooth, we were communicating with a manager of the property about earlier check-in and that went also very well. Thank you for the stay, we recommend!

LithuaniaA little bit noisy inside cause of the street, but its the price for good location :)
Very good location in theatres street. The China town is very nearly. Soho is the best choice for shoping, eating and having fun!

BrazilWe didn't have any issues at all with the property but, although it hadn't affected us, the check-out time is a bit earlier than usual at 10 AM, so keep that in mind when planning your stay - they do offer more time if needed at a reasonable price.
The flat has a great cost-benefit, located in the heart of London's theatre scene, right in front of the Apollo Theatre (it has quite a nice view from the windows by the way). The beds are comfortable and the room is large, and the auto check-in helps a lot if you're arriving a bit later in the night. Definitely recommend it.

United KingdomNothing! It was excellent.
This property is in the perfect location, easy to get to and access with some of Londons greatest sights right on the door step. The apartment had lots of space and perfect for our trip. The host was very friendly and easy to contact if needed. Would highly recommend.

United StatesOh boy - where to begin. [1] The room we got was not the room in the photo. Our room was supposed to be a large spacious square with a desk area, but what we got was a cramped room with an odd shape and no desk - there was hardly room to walk between beds/dresser to get by. [2] The bed was broken when we checked in (metal bar underneath completely bent so the whole bed was caving in). They replaced the bottom the next day. [3] The property mgmt company got our check-in day wrong. I communicated several times within 24 hours of check-in that I had yet to receive our door code and they kept saying it would be sent shortly before check-in. When we were literally standing in front of the building at 9pm calling them with still no door code, they texted me that it would be sent the following day at 2pm! When I told them I was waiting outside the property they realized they got the check-in day wrong. But it didn't end there. Even our checkout instructions were sent a couple of days after we already checked out. Seems disorganized. [4] I asked in advance if they had a hair dryer, shampoo, and conditioner and they said yes. But there was no conditioner. [5] Mold in the shower - fairly typical for rentals of this type. [6] Small water heater for 5 people so not everyone got a hot shower. [6] A lot of noise at night - lots of street noise plus there is a club or bar next door that can be heard thumping. But that is the price you pay for having a property RIGHT in the midst of all of the action. And we expected that so not complaining about that - just informing others looking to rent this property. A lot of our poor experience could have been easily prevented (items 1-4).
The location of this property is excellent with pretty much everything we wanted to do within walking distance. The room fit 5 people in actual beds which is no easy thing to find!
