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 KingdomI found the main bedroom mattress very uncomfortable. It felt worn with detectable springs and probably just needs replaced. That said, I am difficult to please in this regard and my husband slept like a log.
For the most part, very comfortable and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need or want. Great location and very clean.

United Kingdomtrivial comment but I banged my head on the boiler in the kitchen when using the bin. the fact that I did it more than once reflects on me I suspect? The flat is up two wide well lit flights of stairs, but this is mentioned in the details and didn't impact me.
a lovely apartment overlooking the town square. on two floors with lounge / dining area and kitchen, then short flight upstairs to a double, and a twin bedroom and bathroom. Well decorated, immaculately presented. Very grateful for the welcome pack including nibbles and fresh milk. Everything available in the kitchen to self cater if you wish. I used the double bedroom at the back of the flat; it was very quiet and I slept well. nice full bath with an overhead shower. A helpful info pack with FAQs to hand.

United KingdomBeing central did mean the bedroom at the front did get a lot of noise. People leaving bars at 12.30sh. The cobbles in the street are lovely however the downside is that while in bed you hear every vehicle going over them. The bin men also were emptying the bins at 6.30am & we heard every bin being done! The next night we slept in the back room which was so peaceful.
Flat is lovely. Very clean. Very central. Although be aware there are 4 sets of stairs to access it.

The host texted me in advance with all the information of where to get the keys and let us pick them up earlier than expected. There was tea, coffee and milk accompanied with shortbread and tablet which was a lovely gesture.

United KingdomNo onsite parking means you have to unload your car from a small carpark around the back of the flat. The area has disc parking of 2 hours if the car park is full.
The location is 10/10 with great views over the main square. Lots of independent shops and restaurants to choose from in Kelso. A great base for the Scottish Borders. A very comfy flat that is well equipped and cosy.

LuxembourgI can’t think of a single thing to fault.
This property is excellent by all measures, the location is great with good food choices on the doorstep, the apartment is finished and cleaned to a very high standard with good sized rooms and a very well appointed and equipped kitchen. The property owners were very quick to respond to the questions I had and all arrangements they put in place worked perfectly. I would not hesitate to highly recommend this apartment, I will definitely look to stay here again in the future when I am in that area.
