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.).

PolandThe owners are very polite and hospitable! The owner gave us very good tips on what to see in the area. We received delicious homemade wine from the owner. The apartment is in a beautiful location very close to several beaches. At our disposal is a wonderful swimming pool with sun loungers and umbrellas. High quality of service - every day we had a very good breakfast with drinks. A few steps from the apartment there is a tavern right next to the beach, where you can eat very well. There is a market very close.

SerbiaThe apartment is spacious, and balcony too, with see view and amazing sunrise. Breakfast is homemade and delicious. The owner family is very kind. They prepared breakfast box for us when we asked for earlier breakfast in order to arrive to Elafonisos ferry early in the morning. Ambelakia beach is accessible on foot, after 10-minut walk and magical Monemvasia is 10-minut drive away.

United StatesNot much around in terms of places to eat, at least in May when we visited, but there's a nearby minimarket one block over.
A great deal if you have a rental car, near beaches and in a quiet residential area. Nice pool, spacious apartment, gracious hosts who show up with food surprises.

The hosts were so friendly and welcoming!! Katarina gave us home made biscuits, orange juice and a bucket of oranges. The apartment was spotless and spacious for our family of 4. It had everything one could need. The heating worked well which was important as it gets cold at night in February. The location is very peaceful.

AustraliaPool was a little dirty, newly painted and pool paint stuck to my skin. Shower had a little mould and no shower head only handheld. Toilet seat was retro fitted and much smaller than the pan, made it a little awkward albeit great people, proud of their property, kept it well cleaned inside and very spacious, overall great experience.
Good people, welcoming and professional.

The location is close to Monemvasia at about 8 minutes drive; Also, close to the beach; The studios was clean, with basic kitchen equipment. The pool had a good size, and the garden was a nice place to relax. The host was so nice and helpful; she gave us homemade cakes at our arrival, which was a really nice gesture;
