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 StatesThere were enough minor inconveniences for me not to stay here again. 1. Live spider in hand towel. 2. Broken toilet seat 3. Majorly clogged sink 4. Food and drink in fridge left by prior occupant. Overall it was not worth what we paid.
The location is great. Safe, well lit and within walking distance of major attractions. Room was spacious and I especially liked that there is a code to get it so no need to keep track of a key or keycard.

CanadaSignage for the apartment facility outdoors was very small (*for future travellers it is just next door to the right of Fridays). Also it would be helpful to have parking info given before arrival.
Adorable, clean apartment (ground floor) with a garden outside our door, nice bathroom, helpful staff and the room was clean. Great location for walking. Puns and restaurants nearby.

United KingdomAt 3am some people who'd obviously just left a club decided to hang around outside near our window and shout, scream and be nuisances. We moved to the other bedroom which wasn't facing the street where we couldn't hear them thankfully. The windows don't keep out any noise, old fashioned wooden frames, I'm assuming this is a conservation thing and aren't allowed to be changed?
Our second stay here, apartment was perfect, beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean, perfect location just off Princes Street and easy check in. We had a second bedroom which we hadn't booked, don't think we were in the actual apartment we'd booked but this one had a nice lounge and dining area so we were pleased.

AustraliaUnfortunately the shower had a bad odour, maybe the drains need cleaning. There was a lot of loud music on Monday night, I think from the establishment next door !!
Oh my goodness Room 2 was outstanding with a shared courtyard. The bed was amazingly comfortable. The kitchenette was very user friendly and even coffee was supplied for the French press. On arrival Majic carried our luggage downstairs. And upon entering the amazing apartment there was a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary. A very nice touch. And much appreciated. We would highly recommend this property.
