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.).

SpainFirst night, the receptionist broke into our apartment at midnight. She said she was looking for some lost keys... but you can imagine my shock when I got up in the middle of the night and I found somebody inside our apartment... my wife was shocked as well and we couldn't sleep well afterwards. Thanks god, none of our children realised or they would have entered in panick. I went to the reception office next morning to speak with the person in charge but I was not able to reach him/her. I didn't receive any apologies from the person in charge although I left a receptionist my message. Litter bins were not cleaned in our six days stay, nor any part of the apartment was cleaned at all by staff members or towels/linens changed. Some of the walls were not cleaned at all (rubbish was stuck)... the double bed was a 1.5 bed and the pillows were not comfortable at all.
The location was really good for our purposes and it was easy to park our car. Receptionist were friendly and tried to help us. Kitchen was equipped and that's a plus.

NetherlandsMinor nitpicking here: the shower cabin is tiny and the beds are approx. 190 cm. They are student dormitories so no luxuries that are expected with proper hotels such as daily house keeping or towel changes.
Every bedroom had a separate bathroom, great for groups! On site parking was nice and is full, there's a large car park around the corner. Very near to some nice scenery as well. Rooms were very clean

IrelandAn extra pillow is needed as pillows were very dingy and need replacing!
Easy access to the city, bus stop right outside. We each had our own room, bathroom and shower within the apartment that you could lock if needed. There was 4 rooms in total within the apartment, 3 single rooms and 1 double room. Communal kitchen which had everything we needed for our stay, small dinning and living area! We were provided with towels and toiletries which was a nice touch.

United StatesOur hot water heater was broken. They sent maintenance up 3 times but he couldn’t fix it. Ultimately reception let us shower in another empty room. Reception had evidently decided to move us to the room with hot water, but the message never got relayed to us. To be fair, we were out and about most of the time. The room we were in needed refurbishment (new paint and carpet).The room we were meant to have had been painted and new carpet (and hot water). All in all, if we had ended up in the intended room, it would have been great, it was just a lack of communication.
good location, close to UCC campus and grocery stores
