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.).

United KingdomClearer instructions in the use of the radiators (and shower) would have been helpful. These were different in each room and it was necessary to be vigilant with switching them off. The same with the hot water for the kitchen and for the bathrooms. The rooms did get warm quickly though so they were very efficient.
It was self catering. The owners of the adjacent apartment were very helpful, I did have a problem with the wifi as I had been given the incorrect code and as there was no signal for mobiles so I did struggle initially.

The house is beautiful, beds are to comfortable, everything was lovely and clean. Loved that there was a selection of books to read. Area outside was lovely, friendly neighbours. The place exceeded our expectations and so did the host.

United KingdomJust missing a tea towel so we could dry up the last cups on the morning of departure, but used kitchen paper instead.
Second time staying there as a work base as much nicer and spacious than being in a hotel. Immediate contact after booking by the host giving us the key box code. Offered to put the heating on as we would be arriving late, but didn't take long to warm up. Great wifi, which is a necessity as I had no phone signal. Lots of leaflets if you have time to visit places. The whole apartment is very spacious with home from home comforts. Nice décor and clean! Dining table perfect to work at. Bedroom's large and comfortable and great to have two bathrooms. Dishwasher very welcome, as well as the small necessities such as washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, etc. Fresh milk in the fridge (although we had stopped and got some). Parking right outside a bonus. Lovely quiet area and Kinsale just 5 minutes away has everything you need, take aways, shops, etc.

United Arab EmiratesSome of the fixtures, fittings and household goods are looking a bit tired and could do with freshening up. The living area is quite dark. A dryer would be useful in addition to the washing machine.
Very spacious - we rent in Kinsale every summer and this was the biggest 2 bed property we have stayed in. Easy parking. Great to have 2 bathrooms. Owner and manager very responsive, friendly and helpful.
