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.).

The apartment was beautiful in an excellent location, very quiet and well appointed. The welcome pack was outstanding and meant we could have a wonderful breakfast before departure. Indeed we even decided to cook our own dinner for the first time on the trip.

United KingdomThe shower was huge and there was shampoo and shower gel provided. However, the shower didn't have the water pressure nor the temperature we are accustomed to. It was okay, and we still got cleaned, but it would have been the icing on the cake if we had these things.
It was a large and lovely decorated flat. It had all the perks to make it comfortable and a home-away-from-home feel. There was everything we needed and wanted in the kitchen for quick meals. The hosts provided lots of food (e.g. fruit, pastries, cereal, bread) and condiments (e.g. jam, butter) to make breakfasts and snacks very easy. The bed was big and comfortable affording us good nights' rest. The location was quite good as well, taking about a ten-minute walk to the English Market in town.

United KingdomI nearly got my car clamped. I was told I could park behind the property but when I went to get it a couple of days later two parking guys said they were just about to clamp my car, that the apartment has no designated parking and that it’s is an ongoing dispute. I was very lucky we were able to prevent this by pure luck.

United KingdomThis was a very pleasant apartment, so I honestly can't say!
This was a lovely apartment on the inside...tastefully decorated and well equipped. Contact with hosts was very easy, and the location for Cork city was very good. I was a bit apprehensive when we viewed it from the outside and worried that the location next to the hospital may have been noise....However, it was not at all noisy and once inside the front door, we felt very safe secure and comfortable.

A beautiful apartment completely stocked with everything (and more) for a relaxing stay. Bernadette, the host is most accommodating and explains the aspects of the apartment very well. I was flabbergasted by the amount of food left for my use. I’ve stayed in many apartments but have never received such a high level of service. The setting along the River is very picturesque with a lovely ornate bridge right across the street. Cork is a lovely town with a rich history and extremely nice people. Do visit!

New ZealandYou need to coordinate to pick up the keys (ie give an arrival time) which can sometimes be hard when travelling. Not a big deal though! And if you have more than one couple staying, there is only one bathroom as an ensuite to the bedroom. Again, not a huge deal but depends on the privacy you’re looking for.

AustraliaNo "helpful hints" book, no hot water in kitchen or hand basin. Bathroom mirror light on all night and didn't know how to turn it off, but the owners rang back the day after and told us where the remote for the light was stashed, and were going to sort the hot water 👍
Great breakfast provisions, close to town, comfortable. Nice to have an apartment to stay in occasionally, and especially secure parking. Easy to get luggage in and out via balcony rather than walking around to the front :)

Bernadette’s welcome and warm, friendly nature! The place was in a perfect location, just on the River Lee. The amenities were amazing, complimentary fruit, milk, butter (all the essentials) for a lovely breakfast before you venture out for the day. The spare bed could be more comfortable, but everything else was lovely and we would recommend.
