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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomThe place could have been cleaner, in addition there was not any of the little touches that make life easier when you arrive somewhere new like hand soap in the bathroom, washing up liquid etc. the plates and cutlery we’re almost all entirely cracked or chipped which then didn’t feel that clean. The place just felt slightly tired and in need of a deep clean/spruce up. As an example the shower head and tap in the master bedroom was so clogged with limescale. The shower I managed to de clog but the tap was not possible.
The location was exceptional and it is a beautiful home with the most incredible terrace looking out over the sea. Ann the landlady is very helpful and was on hand to sort out anything she could.

AustraliaWE DID NOT LIKE THAT WE COULD NOT SLEEP IN THIS APARTMENT UNTIL 4AM! 1. THE NOISE UNTIL 4AM!! An apartment needs to provide a place of rest and this apartment does not provide this! Please do not book this apartment. If you have booked but have the option to cancel, I STRONGLY suggest that you CANCEL! 2. AIR CONDITIONING Air conditioning is only in the bedrooms and the air conditioning units make noise. There is no air conditioning in the living area. The living area is HOT AND NOISY! 3. STAIRS TO APARTMENT There are 4 flights of stairs to the apartment. 4. WASHING MACHINE The washing machine is old and smelly. The iron was good. We contacted Booking.com during our stay and they offered to refund us the remainder of the booking. This shows that they are only too aware of the noise situation. We would have left but there was no alternative accommodation in Taormina at such short notice
NOTHING! NOISE UNTIL 4AM!! We expected some noise from this premium priced, centrally located apartment but we did not expect loud music and noise until 4am! It is NOT just chatter as one other reviewer mentioned. WE WERE UNABLE TO SLEEP IN 2 OF THE 3 BEDROOMS IN THIS APARTMENT! We are a family of four. If you intend to sleep in more than one bedroom DO NOT BOOK THIS APARTMENT! A nightclub/bar is located below the apartment and the loud music and noise make it impossible to sleep! LOUD MUSIC UNTIL 4AM!! NOT JUST CHATTER!! This should not be sold as an apartment on Booking.com - it is NOT A PLACE OF REST! There is a nice terrace.
