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.).

GermanyIt would be great if it were possible to lock the door from the inside - on the one hand to know it’s locked throughout the night and on the other because our little one kept attempting to make a runner 😃
Spacious, great location, just the right amount of information via messages, easy access with the code.

SwedenThe kitchen area was very basic, pot, pans and cutlery were clean, however very worn. This would be an are of improvement to bring up the overall rating
Location was perfect, quick and easy access to the castle and old town. Bed and lounge area very very comfortable. Weather was typically Scottish, wet and windy, however the heating system worked perfect and the rooms very lovely and warm

AustraliaNeeds a good deep clean. Tile in glass roof leaking onto table below in foyer. It needs a redecorate in line with the period just some little things, care and attention. Chairs were a little unstable. Mould down stairs, dusty, windows were clean :) Blinds were not rolling up and down correctly needs some attention and love. It’s a beautiful property, just maintenance and cleaning should get it right with better furniture. Lounge was great but what about some pillows and a throw rug here and there. Maybe a small supply of milk for fridge, to go with the coffee and tea.
Very Spacious, roomy big rooms lovely outlook close to town

United StatesWe were on the second floor of a big place, so a few stairs to climb. The entire apartment was outdated and could definitley use some upgrades to paint, wallpaper, carpet and furniture. But the fair price more than made up for this and we didn't spend a lot of time there anyway as we wanted to get out to see stuff
This place rocked! Location, space, view, this place had it all! One of our favorite places to stay during our 2 week trek through Scotland. We could see Sterling Castle from our rooms, and facing west, had a beautiful view of the sunset. Short 5 minute walk to shops and restaurants; about 10 min drive to Sterling castle. Plenty of on street parking right in front of our apartment. Beds were pretty comfy and the living room was huge! as was the dining room and kitchen. Plenty of accessories in the kitchen for us to cook breakfast. 2 bathrooms, 1 for each bedroom, so this was great for the 2 couples staying. If ever in Sterling again, we will definitley book this place

Australia1. This should be improved: The bed mattress was not flat (seemed hilly) and the bedding didn't fit well. 2. Just a maintenance job: The exhaust fan in one bathroom didn't work and should be fixed. 3: A mystery: The rubbish bins were difficult to work out, which recycling went where. The manual in the apartment didn't seem to match the bins provided.
The apartment was roomy with full cooking facilities. The heating was good (temperatures outside were freezing and below) but might have been at its limit. Castle a nice walk up the hill and town ten minutes along the road.

United KingdomThe apartment is actually a garage conversion, when advertised the photos gave the impression of being in the main building, the entrace to the property was through a arch at the side of the main building. We arrived at 9 pm, very dark and no signs to let you know where to go. There was a broken tile in the middle of the kitchen floor and the bed was very firm.
