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.).

NorwayMet at agreed time to get keys, but apartment was not ready to be taken over. There was a boiler issue which was agreed to be fixed, but they did not manage to fix it the entire weekend. Options offered were unsuitable and host was very rude and got angry over the phone. Never met such inhospitable and unprofessional people in my life. The apartment was dirty, kitchen awful and unsafe cabling in the bathroom. I do not recommend anyone staying here.

United KingdomThe floors & kitchen were really really dirty, i am not a clean freak but had to wear my flip flops everywhere as my feet went black when we first arrived! The poor boiler is over running constantly, not working properly, so hot water was hard work but got some in the end. (I'm sure it would be cheaper to fix it than leave it to overrun.) Oven fan didn't work (didn't use/try oven only the hob which was fine) No glasses to drink from & only 2 dirty mugs (i cleaned them, even lip drips still on them!) & another broken one. Hardly any cutlery but we made do, plenty of cooking implements though! Was going to iron my outfit but couldn't find the iron, only a board, not so important but does state there is one on Booking.com. The chairs around the table were mostly wobbly so was a bit scared one may break. There are also a good few light bulbs not working. Glad we didn't go with other people as it wouldn't have been ok but as only 2 of us, was fine. All of this sounds awful but i feel the owners need to know & do something about it as it could be a great apartment.
The location was perfect (we were heading to Hammersmith Apollo). Someone met us with the keys, had call a number & wait 10 minutes but that was fine. It is easy to find & there are shops nearby. There were 3 bedrooms (with TVs) to choose from & luckily one room had a really comfy bed & they all had clean bedding & a towel & shower gel. No sofa/TV area but a room with table & chairs & access to the back for a crafty cigarette! There was a kitchen & a really nice fridge freezer which we used. Was hot weather so being a ground/basement apartment was handy to stay cool.

United KingdomRATS Who would rent our an apartment with RATS inside?
I contacted the property to cancel when I read about the RAT issues on other reviews. They refused to refund me, despite booking com agreeing that they should. They refused so it will now be going to court.

United KingdomWe basically just had breakfasts and were sleeping there. There was no cutlery, furniture and equipment was in terrible condition, we had to buy something to clean as the place was... to put it nicely- very dirty. Thankfully the bed sheets and towels were changed between the guests, but I don't think anyone cleans this place between stays. Absolutely wasted potential.
We were pleased with the location, we had a nice walk to town.

United KingdomThe property was really dirty and disguising. I think the worse accomodation I be ever had. It was really noisy over the night and I couldn't sleep at all. The kitchen was poorly cleaned. The walls and ceilings had various stains. The smell was bad. I would never recommend or come back again to such a property. Besides, when we came in, the light was turned off from the central panel and no one gave us related instructions. Sad experience overall.

FranceThe flat has everything you could need amenity wise, but in a very poor and dirty/unhygienic state. It looked like someone had tried to kick off every door, burn marks on tables, the handle for the bathroom didn't work meaning it needed someone to help you get out, the first bedroom didn't even have a lock on the window that gave onto the street meaning anyone outside could have gotten in, the fridge was full of standing water and stains I had to clean, I had to clean splash backs on the toilet (I actually went to the local Sainsburys and bought cleaning supplies and air freshener on arrival to make the place habitable for 2 nights!), and there are rats in the flat (they ate the food we left out on the counter). I tried to explain to the host and he didn't give a damn.
15min walk from Hammersmith Underground station.

United KingdomDespite informing the company twice that our arrival would be between 5 and 5.30pm - and being told that after 5.30pm would mean we had to collect the keys from another location we arrived at 4.55pm and waited till 5. It was about 5oC and quite windy stood on the pavement. At 5.05 I called to be told they would send someone with the key and it would take 10 mins - after many calls we got into the property at 5.40. Unfortunately the accommodation was worse than standing freezing on the pavement - the whole place was dirty and all doors clearly damaged so the locks did not work, also the window in the first bedroom, (at ground floor) could not be locked and so security was zero - both for our belongings and us.
Nothing at all - my advice would be to everyone DO NOT STAY HERE under any circumstances - it is dirty and unsafe and a disgrace. No one was at the proporty to meet us at the agreed time and took 40 mins to arrive. Was told that the person coming with key was at property when thy were still 5 mins away. DO NOT stay here.

United KingdomEverything. It was filthy. The wooden floors hadnt been hovered or mopped. Upon entry there was two huge bags of dirty linen that stank to high heaven. Everything in the kitchen was covered in grease. No cups or cutelry was provided and what pots and pans were there were you guessed it... Covered in grease! One entire kitchen island moved if you leaned against it. There was a rancid mop and a pair of crutches hidden behind the fridge. Two plug sockets were hanging off the walls. Which gave me and my friend an electric shock. Booking gave us 25 as an apology. Lol The bedding and towels were gross. Even the clean ones we found in a cupboard inside sealed bags were crawling with some kind of bugs. We slept in our clothes lol. And happily left. Vile and ill looked after. One of the internal windows had a bin bag on it. Shame as the actual apartments lovely and the lay out is charming but AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!
