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 KingdomSpacious top floor apartment with fantastic views from the 2 terraces. Great location really close to old town. Handy supermarket to pick up drinks and snacks to enjoy on the terrace. Excellent communication from Ernesto on how to get to the apartment.

United StatesThere was a lot of mildew covering the shower ceiling from the moisture and could easily be bleached. It wasn’t so nice to look at, but otherwise everything else was clean. Also, there are no pots/pans in the kitchen for cooking. This wasn’t an issue for us, but could be nice to have for future guests.
Great, quiet location and views from the balconies. Beds were comfortable.

United StatesIt’s a bit rustic. Needs some repairs and updates. Really horrible smell from the bathroom. I know it’s often the case in an apartment buildings, but this one was especially bad. Kitchen could definitely use an improvement! Could be an excellent place with proper updates and repairs.

FinlandThe roof-top terraces come with a price: there are quite a few steps to climb to reach the apartment. Not a problem for us but good to be aware. The only real downside was the water pressure in the shower and slight smell in the bathroom. Nothing major, though.
The apartment is roomy and we liked the decoration. The kitchen is well-equipped. The best feature, though, are the two private roof-top terraces with beautiful views. The location is excellent, too.

PolandI prefer to have a hot water, it was rather warm during taking shower.
I absolutely loved my stay. I booked apartment on the highest floor with huge tarrace and stunning views. Location is great - close to central Taormina, shop Coop nearby and excellent pasticceria :) I liked how the place is decorated and all amenities on the terrace - a hammock, big table, sunbeds on a side balcony.

FinlandThere were quite a few steps to climb up to the street, don’t remember that it was mentioned in the booking app. We managed but with even a slight handicap and luggage it would have been hard.
Lovely view to the sea, it was nice to take the first tea in the morning and view to full moon on the little balcony. Nicely decorated room, good bed.

SlovakiaIf someone is in the corridor, you can hear everything - the walls and doors are very thin. Only one blanket on the bed.
Hosts sent us very good instructions on how to get to the accomodation (written, video, photos), and were very helpful throughout our stay. Beds were comfortable, also pillows. However there was only one blanket on the bed, and very thin, so sometimes me and my partner were "fighting" for it. The water preasure in the shower is a little weak, but sufficient.

CyprusThese are mostly some helpful information to keep in mind/tips. As mentioned above, there's a bit of a hustle reaching the flat with all the stairs, especially when carrying your luggage up the flat, but this is an old town, so it's all part of its charm. Also, if you are renting a car, keep in mind that the roads are pretty inaccessible, and parking is scarce, so you will need to leave your car at Lumbi parking overnight. There is a free shuttle from there that will leave you 5 minutes away from the hotel, which is convenient. Parking might add to your expenses, so budget an extra €20-25 per day. Price-wise, the flat had all the necessary amenities, but it was a bit on the expensive side. Considering that we did go during a busy tourist season, it's understandable.
The location was fantastic as not only did it have a gorgeous panoramic view of the sea, and you can enjoy your breakfast during sunrise, but it's also 3 minutes away from the city centre. Be warned; however, the view comes with a price, as there are quite a few stairs to climb until you reach the flat, so keep that in mind for any heavy luggage. Ernesto, the landlord, was accommodating so which made our experience better, especially when visiting a new country.
