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.).

It was great to have a pool which was well maintained, so was being surrounded by the plants and trees. The WiFi had good coverage and the backup generator was very responsive to blips in electricity supply. The apartment was well appointed and suited my needs. Location wise, very close to a well stocked super market, a quality steak house (rib night highly recommended) and locals restaurants, short walk to the beach.

AustriaOngoing road construction works caused a little disruption for a couple of days. However, infra structure improvements are commendable and the road will be finished soon.
I felt welcome, safe and well taken care of in an African heritage ambience catering specifically to African diaspora and friends of Africa guests. Cordial and polite interactions with staff and fellow guests, alike. My surprisingly spacious economy rate apartment was highly functional and tastefully furnished: A comfortable home away from home. Maroon Supermarket next door carries all of your familiar supplies from brown bread to Pine Sol and much more. Three minutes walk to the beach for a swim in the morning or entertainment at night. Refreshing pool surrounded by charming pergola apartments. When you don't feel like cooking, the adjacent restaurant will surely satisfy your palate. Overall, highly recomended! Inimbara, Abaraka bake, Imokende baa :)

United KingdomMaintenance issues which should have been addressed before the holiday season started. Room 7 is dark and dingy and needs a total refurbishment. Really should not be offered to guests. Happily we were moved The curtains do not fit the windows and make the rooms dark. Investment in better curtains would make a vast difference. There a loads of local tailors that could benefit from an order
Location, well equipped apartments, washing machine etc. Apartments and communal areas are cleaned each day and well kept.

United KingdomNothing to dislike about the apartments, although whilst I was there, there were major roadworks on the road outside, which caused some dust and noise during the day. However, the roadworks are only temporary and certainly wouldn’t put me off returning to stay there in the future.
Riyan Apartments is a lovely place to stay. I spent four weeks there whilst working in the Gambia - Riyan was an oasis to return to at the end of each day. My apartment had everything I needed - it was spacious, clean and very comfortable (and the smartTV was a great bonus). The standout feature of the apartments was the lovely pool area, which I made full use of! The staff were very friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble for them. The supermarket and bar/restaurant next door were very convenient too. Thank you Fatima, Paul and Becky for a lovely stay :)
