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.).

Irelandheating wasn't allowed be turned on (its allowed during winter months, we stayed the end of april ) and it did get cold at night so bring some layers for bed time. The water pressure for the shower was very low and wasn't hot (not sure if it was due to the heating not been on) , that been said we would have no problem staying here again.
The location of this property was amazing, about 5 -7 minutes walk from the train station with luggage and 5 minutes walk to the ferry port for Bellagio etc . 6 of us stayed here for 2 nights ,it was basic but perfect for a base to explore and for the price we paid we were very happy. A little mini market next door with bread, pastries, take away cocktails etc and a lovely little balcony on the apartment to relax on. They allowed us late check out with no extra charge which was brilliant as we didnt have to carry our bags around for half of our last day. The host was waiting at the agreed time to give us the keys and everything went perfect.

AustraliaThe mattress was very solid and the pillows varied in softness. The towels were mismatched and old. Our feeling was that although the property had many bonuses, it needs an upgrade.
We didn't have breakfast included. We did, however, have a kitchen, so were able to buy breakfast ingredients and make our own. We enjoyed having self catering facilities. The location of the property was extremely close to the train station and to the dock, which was perfect for us. It was also close to the walk along the shore and the town centre. We enjoyed having a balcony and the building was also very secure.

United StatesThese are Little things but come to Mind when I think back on our stay: the Toilet constantly ran, the toilet seat was splashed and constantly wet The towels were Like a similar To My Loufa at Home The hairdryer was terrible. It was hot but it was not a blow dryer. More Like a toaster Oven I wouldn't consider the pillows suitable for sleep. The apartment was reminiscent of a going away to camp
Excellent Location. It was very clean and spacious

AustraliaAs apartment is near the walkway heading towards the train station, so you can sometimes hear people walk by with luggage in the morning. The lounge isnt comfortable but i believe host will be getting a new one later this year, however since we were out most of the time, it wasnt a problem for me. A single bed wasnt very comfortable.
The apartment is in a good location, its near the wharf and train station plus its includes parking which was a real bonus. There is a lovely beach a few mins away and the main piazza and restaurant area is a 10 min stroll along the pretty waterfront promenade. The host was very kind and allowed us to leave our bags for the day and collect them at 4pm since the next guests were arriving late - this was really helpful as it allowed us to enjoy day out on ferry visiting the other towns, so a massive thumbs up for that. The apartment is very close to train station which was very useful as we left by train. It is a good size apartment with balcony which is located on the second floor - it is perfect for a family or group as it can sleep 6.

AustraliaOnly the wifi and the couch.
The location is fantastic, 2 minute walk from the train station. The apartment is big and roomy, great for the 4 of us. Only negative is none of us could get wifi the whole time we were there and the couch in the lounge room is so fragile you could hardly sit on it. The host Enza was helpful and met us at the apartment as arranged. All in all, a really good apartment in a beautiful place.

NetherlandsThe hygiëne. The fridge was dirty. The fridge had melted butter and looked like someone hadn't cleaned the inside for serveral weeks there where stains and even leftovers of the previous guests same goes with the oven it was burned black and needer to be throughly cleaned or just simply replaced. Also in the washing machine were still towels from the previous gasts and. We saw bedbugs and they left hugs marks on our arms, legs and back. They itched like hell. Overall we had a nice week and we enjoyed our vacay, but im not booking here again unless it gets better cleaned. Would leave this residence as your last choice. Since there are also 3 other houses nearby
The location is amazing it was 2 minutes from the train station you dont notice any trains going by. And a 5 minute walk from the ferry.

United KingdomCooking facilities could do with updating and it is noisy when people are using the adjacent path to and from the station. If you are letting an apartment to more than one couple, they will need more than one set of keys. When requested, the owners could not provide an extra set, which was inconvenient when people went off to do different activities. The pillows were extremely hard and uncomfortable and a choice of something softer would have made the beds more comfortable.
Excellent location for train station and ferry port. Very spacious apartment with a balcony . Good value for money.

RomaniaAttention, there is no central heating and no AC! It was so cold in here, especially for the kids. The windows are so thin, it was really cold at night! We felt uncomfortable because there was no way of heating the room - and yes, we all slept in one room, just to feel a little warmer. Cold, cold, cold!
The location is great, right next to the ferry and the train station. It's so beautiful to walk in the evening around the lake and watch the mountains. The apartment is big, with many beds.

United StatesIt was off-season and the apartment was not as clean as I would've liked. There was a lot of dust, huge spiderwebs, and hair around the apartment. On top of tax, I had to pay a heating fee for the 2 nights we were there. I did not see this in any of the paperwork beforehand so was a little thrown off. The towels need to be upgraded! They were very rough and the bedding look tired and mixed-matched. With new towels and bedding and more attention to cleaning, this place would have been a lot better. But all in all, the apartment is fine, with potential.
- friendly host - charming and quirky decor. - Great location, 2 minutes walk to the train station, 2 minute walk to the ferry port and about a 10-minute leisurely walk into the town center. - all kitchen/ bathroom amenities you need.
