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.).

Poland1 blind is missing in the dinning room. the apartment is on the ground floor, so it needs to be supplemented. I would replace the blinds altogether, because the street lights are visible at night.

United KingdomGaining access to the building the first time was very difficult. Internet was completely unreliable, not good for work meetings. Incomplete instructions on how to access other parts of the facility.
The hosts were very professional and helpful, always quick to respond when reached. The apartment was very nice and comfortable. The location was very good with easy access to stores and transportation

RomaniaThe owner wasn’t responsive, I needed some help , I did not get any answer. No hair dryer, I was lucky I had a styler and used that to dry my hair. No electric adaptor in the apartment, if you are out of UK you can’t charge your phone, unless you buy one.
It was clean and safe.

Romaniathere was only one way to get inside the building for us and as we had a pregnant lady, it was very, very hard for her to go up and down the stairs several time a day, when there was a door literally next to our flats. But no key fob or access code provided. Very inconvenient from this point of view.

United KingdomPillows are extremely thin. Could do with a couple chopping boards in case you're chopping both raw meat and veg for a meal. Wardrobe in the room is in a slightly awkward position where one door doesn't open properly. No bedroom door either so can get let light in in the morning. Only a small crack for a window so can get stuffy.
Very spacious for a 1 bedroom apartment. Modern appliances in both the bathroom and kitchen. Comfortable living room area and bed in the bedroom. A couple complimentary dishwasher & washing machine tablets.

United KingdomThe booking procedure seemed quite long winded. Information emails could have consolidated onto one email. It would have been helpful to book the parking with the room booking. Entry into the car park wasnt straightforward but our issue with someone else parking in our allocated space was addressed promptly. Thank you. The room was advertised for 4 people but only 3 chairs provided for the table. Mirrors in the bedrooms would have been appreciated along with a bedside table and light on both sides of the bed. Also, the bin lid was broken in the kitchen area.
The location was good.
