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.).

Great location on the high street and near everything which was really convenient. Cosy feel to flat - especially liked the decor in the bedroom. Private, secure & quiet flat with everything we needed both in the flat & on our doorstep. The host send an informative & helpful email prior to our stay.

Great location, spacious flat, huge bathroom, lovely hot shower, well equipped kitchen, very eclectic decorating made it feel like a home rather than the spartan accommodations typically found on booking sites

United KingdomWi-fi wasn't very fast and rather intermittent. It was a lovely weekend (mid 20s) and the flat was warm, so we used the fan provided and it was fine. If it had been really hot, I could imagine it might be a bit uncomfortable - there were no substantial curtains so there would be little you could do to stop the flat heating up during the day. A bit more attention to detail would be good - I had to contact the owner for the key code the day before (despite being told I would be sent this a few days in advance) and a new comments book was needed. The pint of milk in the fridge was a nice touch, although had we known we wouldn't have bought some on our way. The sofa was rather small and so another chair would be nice to allow you to spread out a bit, especially in warm weather.
Attractively furnished flat centrally located.

United KingdomBed was double, which is smaller than I like, but the room would have struggled with a bigger bed. The windows had no black outs, so had to put a black t-shirt over my eyes to sleep past dawn. Worked for us.
Location was excellent with a number of pubs, bakery, butchers, etc. Location is excellent. Place was above a newsagents at the back. Quiet enough. Kitchen was well done, easily cook a meal there. No private parking, but there is enough street parking to be found. Internet was good enough for facebook and a stream of netflix just about. We watched a few episodes and a film. So, good enough.

United KingdomTook us a while to sort the heating out - thermostat seemed to be low on batteries so turned itself off and we had to look up online how to get it going again. it was very cold the first night as a consequence. TV is Netflix only, but the internet speed was so slow we could not get it to tune in or select any programmes.
Apartment had everything we needed, nicely decorated, excellent location really close to pubs and shops. Free parking is just 3 minutes walk away. Visitor book was useful. lots of thoughtful touches.

United KingdomWe didn't receive the email from the owner with the code for the keys. it was difficult contacting the owner as the number was not working. Eventually the owner rang me because I managed to send an email. But it was very stressful. The owner said that she had sent the email (not in my spam) and that this had happened on other occasions with problems with Booking.com It was not obvious how to get the heating working. there was a wireless device that wasn't responding. I had to contact the owner. We also could not switch the heating off.
Great location, lovely flat with every detail thought through and all that you need for a great stay.

United KingdomThe advert says free parking nearby, but this is quite unfair. The owner suggested two car parking sites to me in advance of our trip. One of them is not free but paid. The other is a street with a handful of available spaces for any cars. If you're booking for a busy weekend or a summer visit, you may struggle to park. The WiFi is as bad as everybody says. The internet TV felt pointless. It was a little chilly in the evening and we turned up the radiator as much as we could. There is a generator or something else nearby that is very loud at night when you're trying to sleep. The main door and the bedroom door are both glass, so if your neighbours leave the landing night on, you'll have it shining brightly into your bedroom. A lot of the issues felt like reasonably fixable and have been flagged multiple times, so it's frustrating that they were still the case.
Perfect location, and cheaper than some of the pubs nearby. It's a very pretty flat and I think they've recently decorated, perhaps in response to some previous reviews. For the most part, it was comfortable. It was very easy to check-in and out. Milk in the fridge and Welsh cakes were a nice touch. A few more basic supplies (a range of teas or kitchen staples for cooking) would have gone the extra mile.
