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.).

IrelandChallenges: Entry to the inner hallway door. However, the other tenants were wonderful & assisted us to overcome same. It was not clear that the implement on the key ring needed to be used to gain entry. A second set of keys wouldn’t go astray for this two bedrooms apartment to facilitate people to go in separate directions if required. Sofa bed very poor not suitable for use. Considering the size of the en-suite bedroom, a larger bed could be accommodated even a king size. The bed appeared to be v small. The apparatus for Heating adjustments need review as they do not appear to function adequately for the various rooms.
Proximity to the Christmas markets: 7 minutes walk using Sat Nav! We had originally booked for 5 adults, however the apartment is only suitable for 4 people: 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms. The sofa bed was non- operational. The kitchen / living room was very spacious but could do with more chairs, 2 for 5 people. Sofa seats 4 people & was adequate for our needs. The kitchenette & cooker/fridge/freezer were very spacious & all worked perfectly. There appeared to be only 3 sets of towels for 5 people. We did find a 4th set in the linen cupboard but not adequate for 5. The beds were comfortable with extra pillows & cushions if required. Also extra blankets. The heating system is a ‘Monday’ morning one that you need to check frequently! Close to a great local supermarket called the Co-op which is open until 2300 daily 😊. It will meet all your needs for a short stay.

United KingdomIt wasn’t obvious which key box was the correct one. It took a long time to find the wifi password (we found it by chance in a cupboard). There were no kitchen utensils at all so cooking was tricky. The tumble dryer filters had not been emptied which could be a fire hazard (a note asking guests to do this would help)
The location was excellent. It felt very secure. There were 2 bathrooms, the bedrooms were comfortable. It was a convenient base for the city centre. Communication was good.

United KingdomThe apartment was not up to standard. The bedding was dirty, the sofa bed was broken. There was a broken wine glass inside the cupboard which left 2 wine glasses for all 5 of us. There was no bedding ready for the sofa bed. The only bedding we could find was a stained, smelly and dirty duvet and stained and dirty pillows without duvet covers or pillow cases. The tap in the kitchen was broken. The extractor fan in the bathroom was broken. There was mould in the bathroom. The bedroom drawers were broken. There weren’t enough towels for all guests. The carpets were all stained and needed hoovering. The other duvets were smelly but with clean sheets over the top of them. There also wasn’t enough towels for all guests. We also woke up with bed bug bites. I would not recommend staying here.

United KingdomThere was only one set of keys (despite the booking being for five people), the mattresses were rock hard, the instructions to find the garage entrance were too vague (the garage can only be open from the inside), there were broken items (such as a lamp with a broken plug), the shower struggled to drain on the first day - so I used a plunger and (after a lot of effort) pulled out so much hair that (after gathering it up and squeezing the water out) the clump was the size of a mouse.
Location, relatively affordable (compared to other accommodation nearby), all cleaning products were provided.

AustraliaThe checkin information was very convoluted and unclear. Why the key boxes are on the opposite side of the building from the front door I have no idea. Getting into the foyer was easy but there was no explanation that the little black and green fob on the keys needed to be scanned to get up to the room. Getting into the basement carpark was an ordeal as I was by myself. There was supposed to be a fob on the keys to open the garage door but had been lost by the previous renters....apparently. It was only the kindness of one of the tenants that I was able to get into the car park as the box that was pictured in the checkin information was inside the garage door and I was outside. Very poor maintenance in this unit. The shower in the ensuite broke the first night. There was broken, jagged plastic surrounding the shower recess in the ensuite which my travel companion cut her toe on!!! We couldn't find the light switch to the kitchen. There were laundry bags (?dirty laundry) in one of the cupboards. Management obviously don't read reviews because someone complained that 2 of the mugs were cracked and they were still there on our visit. No teatowel to dry the dishes were used. Wouldn't waste my money staying here again.
It was a good 2 bedroom apartment within walking distance of Manchester Victoria station. Kitchen had a separate washing machine and dryer.

United KingdomMaintenance was poor - one of the toilets was out of order, light bulbs were missing, only one hand towel provided for 3 people, only 4 mugs supplied, of which 2 were cracked, no teapot or milk jug, blind was broken, no mirror in twin bedroom, wet towels from previous occupants left in cupboard beside door. Lack of helpful instructions for use of appliances and disposal of rubbish. Access to the apartment when we arrived was very difficult. We only got into the building thanks to a helpful resident.
The apartment itself was lovely, though very warm. There was no guidance about heating so we did not attempt to alter the system.
