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.).

IsraelI didn’t like that it was very difficult to find an apartment, since we arrived there at night, it was dark, there was no one to ask, it took us an hour to find an apartment, so it’s better to come during daylight hours. The kitchen lacked some kitchen utensils, like a normal knife, like a drushlak, big pots. The WiFi booster didn't work in one of the rooms. The bottom board is broken in the kitchen. Cleaning is generally good, but if you look closely, there is a lot of dust and sometimes dirt.
I really liked the location and the surroundings of nature, silence, nature, neighbors, two showers, 2 toilets.

United KingdomThe living area could have done with some extra furniture & furnishings. It was quote echoey & not too homely. A couple of the lamps didn't work which meant there was only a really harsh overhead light. There were no basic provisions (kitchen roll/foil) etc in the kitchen. The sofa bed was not the most comfortable. The arrival instructions were thorough but a bit overwhelming & the tone was very strict which was a bit off-putting.
The place was new & spotless. It was a very spacious flat & the parking situation was good.

United KingdomFinishings on the decor included pictures which would easily come off the wall (not secured). Showers would go cold and hot unfortunately if more then 1 person was using another shower in the building. No facilities for high chair if travelling with a younger family. Basic amenities not present - no washing tablets, no can opener which worked (essential for self catering), no large bowls, not enough toilet paper for a family of 7 for 4 nights. No tea towels provided.
Very well furnished within the house with a modern and high tech feel, sofa bed provided which was of a good size, TV facilities were good. 3 bathrooms which were all clean, adequate amount of bedding and towels. Rooms were spacious and provides a hair dryer for each room which is great. WiFi is good, as the area in general doesn't have the best connectivity. Very comfy beds, and a good size. Overall a good stay. When speaking on the chat the hosts were quick and responsive.

United KingdomThe map that loaded onto my map-app automatically from Booking.com led us to completely the wrong direction, so we ended up along a forest track in the middle of nowhere. If you go, follow the directions sent by the property!!

United KingdomThis development is brand new and not finished. Most of the units were unoccupied and still unfurnished. There are still properties to be built, adjacent to the one we stayed in. Before you book you might want to check that the builders aren't erecting a new house directly opposite yours! There was no work going on while we were there but it is clearly a work-in-progress. The accommodation itself was lovely although there are items of snagging (inevitable on a new property) that haven't, and should have been, attended to - Bathroom door would catch against the floor, one heated towel rail doesn't work, the showers are 'challenging' in terms of water pressure and heat, there is no proper cutlery. This may seem minor but the booking was not cheap and things like this should really have been dealt with.
This development, when finished, will no doubt be absolutely lovely. It's very attractive and the village is also lovely. It's a secluded spot at the end of the village surrounded by fields and woodland. The accommodation (snagging aside) is new and tastefully done. The apartment we stayed in was a very good size, comfortable and well appointed. You're close to Penrith and Ullswater and there are walks right on the doorstep.

Harsh lighting needs more ambient lighting in kitchen diner & living room , which is v large . But immaculate new apartment .
