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 KingdomWe weren't told the name of the apartment we were in when we booked, so once in the building (using the door entry app on my phone) we didn't know which room to go to. However, I called the owners and they were incredibly helpful and it was sorted in a minute.
The apartment was stunning! Everything was carefully considered from snacks and drinks being provided to lovely toiletries and even a toothbrush charger. It was all top quality.

United KingdomOnly downside was that the outdoor furniture could do with a clean. With it being March it wasn’t a problem as it was too cold to sit outside. Definitely needs sorting before the summer starts. This is the only reason it didn’t get a 10/10
Fantastic luxurious apartment & in a superb location. Short walk to the train station & city centre. Loads of indoor space to relax. Hot tub was lovely.

United KingdomThe correspondence prior to our stay. Booking.com does not give an email address so the funky monk had to call me to get it. I then had to download an key app to open the door by bluetooth which I did not know in advance and would have preferred not to do. It is owned by a hotel group but this was not obvious, or even stated anywhere, and so I thought I had been given the wrong number. All in all it was all quite uncertain which was not a good start to what ended up being a great stay.

United KingdomMain steps on a busy main road with only 3 car park spaces, there are plenty up the road side however with cases it is a struggle. Key card system would not work on my phone however after phoning and talking to the receptionist we were let and got the app working. (No staff on sight) Our apartment had a damp musky smell and the bathroom fan cannot be turned off and is very loud overnight.
Location was excellent and the building is beautiful and well thought out, apartment was spacious and clean, hot tub was warm and lovely private courtyard with sauna.

The apartment was fantastic, comfortable and stylish, we did not want to leave. supplied us with quality coffees, teas,milk and goodies. even dishwasher tablets and washing powder. everything in the apartment is high quality and I can't wait to stay again.

MacaoA very chic and well-appointed accomodation. I loved the sauna and jacuzzi, plus the big screen TV was really B.I.G.. The decor was sumptuous, and it was all down to the small details. The only downside was the WiFi lock system, which took a bit of navigation, plus the fact that the apt. number was not communicated, so trial and error was required to gain access. But overall, highly recommended for a short stay.
