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.).

Romania- the wifi did not work at all, we had to use our own mobile data - cleaning in the bathroom (toilet, shower etc) was not done properly, otherwise i found everything else was very clean - in our room (101) there was a mold smell or sewer smell coming from the kitchen sink and under it
The location is great, less than 5 min away from the beach and within walking distance of other beaches. There is a supermarket just next to it (a bit more expensive than others, but ok) and the best gyros place we could find (souvlake). Bus station is also very close. The property is on a hill, we didn’t mind the climb as the view was lovely. The studio is rather small, but it was okay since you have all the facilities. Towels and sheets are changed regurlarly. We were here as storm Daniel hit, which left most of the island without running water, electricity, phones for 2 days. This property was among very few that did not have any power or water shortage and no water damage. Big plus for that. We were incredibly lucky to be staying here.

SerbiaThe internet was a little bad at times, sometimes dissapearing for a little while. There is a bit of an uphill driveway to get to the house, but it was not too bad and we expected it based on the pictures. Would be nice to have mosquito nets on the doors, but we just kept the lights off and used the provided plug in mosquito repellent at night and mostly were ok.
Apartment was nice and clean, nicely decorated, everything was as advertised. Nice big balcony, with a provided rack to dry our towels and swimsuits, blind-like doors that we could close for privacy/overnight, but still keep air flowing. The host was very nice and welcoming. The yard around the house is very tidy and well kept. The beach is a fairly short walk away, and there is a market and souvlaki place right next to the house.

United KingdomI only stayed for three days so for me it was perfect. It I was staying longer I might have booked somewhere with a pool. The beach is only a 5 minute walk though. Other than that I have no other complaints.
On arrival the host was very nice, happy and gave good instructions. The room was spotless and clean. Very comfy bed, ac worked brilliantly, great balcony with a stunning view of the lake and green garden. The location for the local beach is great. It’s also super easy to hike / drive to the other more wild / quieter beaches along the coast. The supermarket at the end of the lane was well stocked and very useful. I was expecting it to be fairly noisy due to its location, but it was super quiet.

GreeceMosquitos and spiders and all sorts of insects are an issue. Bug repellant is necessary. Sometimes, kids playing in the playground may get a bit noisy, so upper floors are better suited for people seeking to relax.
The location is awesome, if you just need to explore the Koukounaries area. Using a car is optional, really. Quite a few beaches are within walking distance and the beach of Koukounaries (suitable and very popular with families / kids) is just a couple of minutes away. The view from my room was great, I truly enjoyed it. The owner was very kind and helpful and a bottle of decent wine came as a welcome gift.

SerbiaI cannot stress enough how welcomed we felt there. Our hosts were terrific, and a warm hello to Giannis here. Apartments are being cleaned daily, we got parking on premises which could have been a problem otherwise. Walking distance to 4 excellent beaches (there are no vacations that are closer) and right next to the best restaurants in Koukunaries. Extremely quiet when needs to be, we managed to get some much-needed rest.

Absolutely beautiful setting, very peaceful place with lovely, spacious rooms with a great view. Staff were all friendly and welcoming. The apartment had everything we needed, the shower was great! The tables and areas around the property were also a nice place to have breakfast or relax when the balcony was in full sun.
