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.).

AustraliaThe lack of communication. I had to message 4 times to ask for how we would get in, and each time was answered with "we already sent you the instructions", which obviously they hadn't. Why not just send the instructions rather than saying you already have?? A pleasant and clear explanation goes a long way. Also the wifi just doesn't work at all.
Location is good, walkable to the station and the room was spotless - very good cleaners!

United StatesThere was an awful smell in the bathroom. The refrigerator was not adequately cold. The instructions to enter the building and subsequently the apartment were not super clear (a description of which keypad to use would help). We had a horrible time finding parking in the area (train station and other parking was full)
Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. The bathroom was spacious

FinlandThe communication with Lia Rooms was not easy and there was a confusing payment case. Please don't do the same for others. I asked well in advance if it's okay to shorten the stay and cancel one night and they said it's okay; I asked if the price would be less and they said that they had no rights to update the details in Booking.com (it didn't work for me either) but they would charge the payment three days before the stay. We agreed a price for this period discounting one night and I thought everything was okay - I could still have cancelled for free and make a new reservation but I trusted them because they said there's no problem. Five days before the stay the original, the more expensive price was charged from my bank account. When I arrived and asked the staff if they are going to return the difference, they didn't answer (even though I translated with google translator) but just asked me to pay the taxes, which were for one more day as well. I asked again via email, twice, if I had understand right and what was the case but they haven't answered. They just refused to take actions on the refund feedback I sent through Booking.com Customer Service. As I see it, they cheated, and instead of admitting the mistake and even apologizing, they just stopped answering. Another thing, but smaller, is that the pictures of the coffee machines should be updated if they are not in use anymore - I was looking forward to the coffee machine but the reality was a couple of bags of instant coffee instead.
The room was clean and cozy and the location was great for the stay in La Spezia. The cleaning staff was really friendly.

Polandthe A/C was very loud, the programs were not possible to change or adjust, and it did not cool the air enough anyway. We found a small scorpio (ca 2cm) which climbed into our dog's bowl and we had to kill it , which scared out to death! and then it was difficult to fall asleep. The shower door was shabby and not working properly - one side is hanging only on one screw which I feared would fall out when closing or opening. The noise from the corridor was very audible, whenever somebody was there we heard everything and it disrupted our sleep. The contact with the staff was limited only to messages! no phone available and the phone number available in booking.com is not reachable. I asked for a nearest parking recommendation before arrival and never got a reply. Due to this text system communication we had to wait for the staff some 30 min - calling directly would be much faster, instead I had to constantly check my messages in booking.com for updates, while driving the car. Then the Lady complained to us that the main door to the apartment was open as if we did it, or was it the way she was expressing herself, possibly, but I had to explain for a long time how we got inside the building while having no keys which looked like we had broken into it. Obviously we entered with another inhabitant instead. The fee for a small 8kg dog charged was 15€/day which was not included in the offer (value not provided) and besides it's way too much, especially that the dog was clean and made no difference to the room cleanliness. The remark to the booking.com operation and charging - totally misleading regarding the final amount charged. when I confirmed the room booking the summary included final price with taxes but just before our arrival the amount charged was without taxes which we had to pay separately on arrival , which was confusing.
Room was was modest but very clean and spacious, that's all.

New ZealandUnfortunately the keys were very difficult to use in the bedroom door lock. When we messaged the host for some guidance, she called us. Quickly she became irate, screaming at us in Italian (we only speak English and French). It was so bad that a neighbour who spoke Italian heard and stopped to help us. She apologised for her behaviour. Eventually the neighbour helped us with the door. I would not stay here again based on how we were treated. No matter what language you speak, it is never okay to scream at others. Very upsetting. I recommend reading other reviews about difficulty entering the property- this is not an isolated incident.
Large bedroom and bathroom, with plenty of space. Well-equipped with mini fridge and kettle, plenty of towels, room service on our second day, and good location to the Main Street. Laundromat literally right next door. Comfy bed, and the staff member who welcomed us was prompt, helpful, and pleasant.
