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.).

HungaryWhen arriving, we had some difficulty finding the apartment keys, but with Raphael's help we got them in a few minutes. The apartment was also missing one set of bedheets and towels when arriving, but they brought it to the flat within an hour without us having to ask for it, as they recognized the issue themselves.
The location of the apartment is fantastic: 20m from the Acropoli metro station, but the flat is absolutely silent thanks to modern windows and doors. The apartment is fully renovated and clean, equipped with everything. Located on the second floor, but reachable by elevator as well. Must see the sunset over the Acropolis from the roof! There is a supermarket in 2-ish minutes of walking as well as numerous restaurants with both Greek and international options available, including vegetarian, if necessary. Raphael, the host, is very kind, available for questions and generally super helpful.

GreeceThe apartment is somewhat poorly sound-proofed, but that wasn't an issue for me. No particular views from the apartment windows. Again, no issue for me, just didn't expect that.
Lovely landlords/-lady. Quick response to my requests. Easy check-in and check-out. Great location. Exceptional views of the Acropolis and surroundings from the rooftop terrace. Comfortable interior, well equipped, nice style. Small balcony so you can sit outside if you want. I will definitely recommend the Star Acropolis Apartment and hope to come back myself one day. Thank you very much for a lovely stay!

United StatesI can't think of anything
We had such a crazy experience with travel and had to send updated details multiple times and the hosts were so kind and quick to respond every time. We are so grateful for this experience, we couldn't have asked for better hosts or a better location to stay for our time in Athens. The most special thing beyond these two points, was the terrace view of the Acropolis! I guess I had overlooked this when booking so it was a wonderful surprise and so AMAZING! I have attached pictures of the view. The apartment was also perfectly located, it was right by the South Slope of the Acropolis and museum. We arrived by Taxi but the Metro station was just across the street and would have been a great option as well. We will remember this trip fondly! Thank you!

United StatesTrash on schedule. Also no paper down toilets -- even toilet paper. Be warned. But it did not work out to be an inconvenience and we were there for 4 days.
Location -- at the base of the Parthenon. The rooftop views were great. Great restaurants and shopping all around. Easy walk to the historic sites. The apartment was great. Clean, nice accommodations. Host: Outstanding. He arranged for a taxi from the airport and to the port to visit the islands. The Taxi driver and the host spoke perfect English. The taxi met us at the airport and drove us directly to the property -- and we were able to talk to the host on the way. And he met us at 7AM to catch the ferry to the islands.

Large apartment, super clean, with AC and quite modern. It is well located right at the feet of the Acropolis ramp to go up and has good terrasse restaurants downstairs on each side of the front door, pedestrian area, and Plaka shops and restaurants area on the right, very clean and secure with lots of people, police surveillance and tourists. Everybody speaks English. The rooftop terrasse is great with amazing view of the Acropolis, especially at night, to relax with music coming from street guitar musicians below, memorable. During summer, there is a music festival in the evening in the old acropole theatre, check for tickets. The apartment has camping chairs you can bring up for the terrasse, otherwise it is empty. Be aware of the specific elevator to go up to the terrasse. There is also a 24h McDonalds very close, which is practical for late arrival or early departure. Cab ride from airport is fixed 40eu, lots of taxis on the Blvd a bit further down to go somewhere. No need to pre-book transportation.
