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.).

PolandThe bathroom urgently needs a renovation, the paint of the walls and roof are falling down and the shower curtain is dirty and disgusting. There were not enough hot water for the shower of 3 people. So the first one take the shower with hot water and the next 2 with really cold water. There were only 1 toilet paper for 3 people and 5 nights, so we had to buy it. The apartment is not soundproofed, so if you have problems to sleep it's not a good choise, because you can hear every single car that's passing on the street.
The location is very good, just a few steps from the main square. Francesco is very friendly and explain us a bit about the surroundings. The bedroom is upstairs, it's quite big with a double bed and a single bed. You have air-conditioned upstairs and also downstairs.

RomaniaThe ladder between floors is very steep. The location is pretty noisy, because is near a busy street, with a lot of car traffic even in the night, and the sound proofing is not quite top.
Excellent location, very central. Francesco is a very nice host. The appartment is on 2 floors, an the bedroom is at the upper one and is beautiful. We enjoyed the self-service breakfast, with plenty of sweets and drinks to choose from. The presence of an expresso machine was awesome and the coffee was delicious.

BulgariaHave in mind that the room is litteraly on the street and at night it gets noisy - you can hear everything that is happening on the street from cars passing to people walking, so if you have light sleep may be it will be uncomfortable for you. But everything else was good.
The plase has an exellent location - next to the center and everything you want to see. The Borsellino buss stop where you can take the bus to the airport is also close. There is a lugage storage boxes and lots of restaurants and bars near. Francesco was very helpful and available all the time - very kind and simling person.

South AfricaIt felt a little run down. It does need a bit of attention. The walls in the bathroom has water damage and the double bed mattress has no support. It felt like a lot of basic things were missing, there weren't a dishcloth or oven mits. The toilet seat was also loose or unstable. Everything just felt like a mission. We were looking forward to book out.
There was little shampoo and bars of soap. The location is very central. It has air conditioning.

United StatesNo problems at all.
Great location, short walk to the central piazza. Clean, well equipped place on a quiet street. Host was super friendly and even called to arrange a taxi to the airport for me for the next morning. The taxi didn’t show up (not the host’s fault) but the place is so central that I was able to walk just a few blocks (at 5:30 in the morning) to the duomo where I found a taxi.

PolandFor four people it's cramped and there's not enough wardrobes and lockers. Muggy bathroom and the lower part of the apart. Not much space in the kitchen part. Stench from the lockers with cleaning supplies. Moreover we got robbed. Although there are bars in front of the door they do not reach the cealing and a burglar get into apartment above them through the window which we left not closed but with mosquito net. So always close the window when you go out and this way you may be sure that nobody will rob you.
The very city centre. 350 to the Piazza del Duomo which is the heart of Catania

SerbiaThe accommodation consists of a lower level that is located literally on the street and at street level, from which not even a meter of space separates it. And the upper level to which steep, winding and narrow stairs lead. There is absolutely nothing on the upper level except the bed, and for everything you need, you have to go downstairs. The worst thing about this accommodation is the noise which is absolutely unbearable. I had the impression that I was sitting on the street. Passers-by, as well as traffic, are 30 cm from your head if you sleep on the ground floor. Besides the noise, what deserves the most negative rating for this accommodation is the unbearable stench of dampness. We did not get the announced and paid breakfast because we only saw the owner once, for a short time, upon entering, when he came to take money for the tax. All in all, I do not recommend this accommodation to anyone.

PolandWe based our choice on the ranking and the photos - unfortunately they both are quite misleading. Perhaps the place looked better in the past and hence the 9s and 10s but right now: - paints peels off in several places - bathroom door handle falls off - the breakfast is a few supermarket croissants (for a family of 4 for 2 nights!) and yoghurt (some of which was past best before date!) - kitchen equipment is scarce (no kettle/knives etc.) - the decor is simply tacky... - uncomfortable stairs - no table big enough to sit and eat for 4 people - the shower curtain was filthy
We liked the location.
