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.).

FinlandWe liked a lot, much much better than expected. Even normal stairs to penthouse rooftop apartment, easy to go. Excellent terrace and what a view! Nice sound of sea - so good to sleep. And very easy to go to swim. Shops and restaurants near.

United KingdomThe mosquitoes were very frustrating. The electricity required a device, which was on the keys, to be inserted which meant we couldn’t leave the mosquito repellent plug in on while we were out so unfortunately we got bitten a lot over night despite the aircon being on. I have sketer syndrome which means I have an excessive reaction to bites so despite wearing DEET, wearing appropriate clothing and putting as much in place as possible I ended up having to use my emergency pack as well. If the device could be detached from the keys it would have been perfect.
The terraces are exceptionally well equipped and we spent most of our time on the back one overlooking the sea. The view was perfect and there was a choice of sun or shade on both terraces. The thoroughly lovely cleaner came in most days and was very kind and helpful. The studio was well equipped, very, very clean and really close to all the amenities. The BBQ and easy spa were an unexpected surprise. We didn’t use them but we liked the option. It was absolutely perfect for us.

They were super friendly and gifted us a bottle of wine and ouzo. There is a private space in front of the house equiped with sunbeds and umbrellas for enjoying the sun and beach. Supermarkets and restaurants were 3 mins away. We would love to come back again.

GermanyThe queen bed was a bit too narrow for two, we prefer to have a king size. The bathroom could have been a bit more spacious. In the evening mosquitoes were bothering us a bit. Bring your repellant.
The terrace, the garden and the views to the sea were incredible. We stayed on the ground floor apartment which has a lot of space. Although there is no breakfast available, the room had plenty of foods and drinks included. Not much noise, just the lovely sound of crickets in the garden.

RomaniaThe property was very clean and quiet, with excellent staff. It was located on the beach. Although it does not have a private beach, it is situated next to Kritiko restaurant where we always found sunbeds and refreshments. A 5 minutes walk takes you to a very sandy beach, Blue flag, if I am not mistakes, where terraces and sunbeds are again available. The room had a lovely balcony with sea view. The other guests were quiet which added to our satisfaction.

Everything was perfect! The appartment is located literally on the beach, close to the shops and restaurants. Though it lies in the city center, it's a very tranquil and peaceful place. The appartment has everything you could wish for, including room service twice a week, going with fresh towels and bedlinen. Also the starter pack in the fridge - some bread, butter, jam, honey, juices and a welcome bottle of wine. We had a wonderful terrace with a seaview - you can sit there for hours listening to the sea. Then you can take just a few steps down and you are at the beach, where you have sunbeds and sun umbrellas at your disposal. The hosts are very helpful and hospitable, always at hand when you need anything. Hope I'll be back there some day...
