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 KingdomNothing to dislike apart from maybe one of the beds could be a little bigger.
The cleanliness and layout of the apartment was exceptional, parking was easy, everything you could require was available on hand. Will look forward to staying there again in the future and congratulations to the hosts for such a wonderful place.

United KingdomCould be picky but, given the overall loveliness of the place, there's really no need. We didn't have any issues to speak of. All top notch!
Very well presented apartment. Comfy beds and plenty of space for families. Lots of little extras like provisions and wine! Located in a quiet spot. A really lovely find.

SpainNothing really. A king size bad rather than a double would have been nice ...but that's only because we have one at home.
Lovely large period flat, tastefully furnished and decorated. And with enough pans etc to make a meal , as well as thoughtful provision of salt and pepper, oil, spices, milk, butter ..and a complimentary bottle of red wine. All we could wish for. Somewhere to book again.

United KingdomGreat communication from start to finish. Excellent value for money for such a large apartment. All the extras- toiletries, wine and snacks, and the many little thoughtful touches that made it a home from home. Spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend!

United KingdomNot a problem for us but just an FYI that the stairs within the property are quite steep and twisty (not a fault of the place of course, just how it was built!). However, there is a good handrail running along the wall which provides stability for those who might need it.
What a fantastic location - right on the cobbled main town square - but it wasn't noisy. The back bedroom and kitchen/dining room looked out onto Kelso Abbey and were very quiet. The property was tastefully decorated and furnished and had excellent facilities which we appreciated even though we didn't need them all - wi-fi, washer/dryer, microwave, TVs in every room, two bathrooms and three loos ... we felt spoilt! The bedrooms are large with comfy beds and high quality bedlinen and towels. We felt instantly at home in the property and really enjoyed returning there each evening after exploring the Borders countryside. The owners were also very easy to communicate with and were extremely kind and helpful.

United KingdomThe property door was kicked in about 15 minutes after we arrived, the door lock was burst off. The owners were at a birthday party and not able to attend as had been drinking but repeatedly told me "I dont believe it". Fortunatley although it meant we could not go out we could use a big old lock which had a key which would not work outside. The owner came the next morning to repair the lock but obviously after our experience we did not feel safe. Then we could neither get the stove to work and were told to use the microwave.We then found (after one of us buying a lighter at the local shop)that the gas was turned off at the meter. The heating also then went off. The next day the owner got the gas repair person out who decided that a part repaired the week before was faulty. It was quite cold with no heating.
Location, provision of salt, oil .

United KingdomSmall dark alley access which had two broken bottles. Bedroom curtains could be heavier, the room was quite bright in the morning
Space inside was lovely, well decorated, warm. Very spacious. Very peaceful. Good access to shops and restaurants. Nice new carpets, fluffy towels. Well equipped; dishwasher etc. Clean. Good WiFi. Complimentary wine. Free parking. Nice view both front; over the square and to the rear over the Abbey. Lots of pretty walks nearby. Would recommend and would revisit.
