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 KingdomThis was a perfect apartment for us - it was very convenient to the main road out of town enabling us to visit numerous fascinating Calabrian towns and sites. Stefania, was a fantastic host, she met us on arrival, was very friendly and helpful throughout. Prior to our arrival, her husband Giovanni sent us clear directions to the apartment. They live in the building so it was easy to contact them. I can see some confusion in the reviews - the listing is not completely clear that there are two apartments - both on the ground floor. We stayed in the one bedroom which has the spacious open-plan kitchen living dining area, a terrace with a seating area and nice views - particularly in the evening - when we sometimes had stupendous sunsets! We missed out on having the larger terrace but were pleased nevertheless as it was nice having the open space room with large patio doors. The place was immaculate, and tastefully decorated. The bed was very comfortable - we slept well after our long days travelling!

AustraliaVery very odd they do not have hot water connected in the kitchen.
The parking and location were brilliant. The view was to die for and it was just so relaxing and comfortable. It had everything we needed including a washing machine and Netflix. Some people stated it did not have a couch but it did. The kitchen had an oven and a microwave. The owners were lovely and went out of their way for us. They sent us pictures before we arrived which really helped as you would drive past the driveway if you did not know it was there. We had one of our best stays. 5 minutes to the beach by car (15 min walk). Two minutes to the supermarket (5 min walk). Wonderful. Highly recommend.

AustraliaThere was no hot water at the kitchen sink, we don’t know if it was a temporary issue.
Very nice apartment, well presented, lovely views from the large balcony. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the best and so couldn’t make use of the outdoor seating and unfortunately there is no indoor lounge area. Located at the top end of town with easy access by car from the main roads, we would suggest not driving into the middle of town as the roads are very narrow with no parking. The hosts are extremely helpful with suggestions of places to visit before arriving and help with anything else you need whilst there.

We had 2 excellent, newly renovated fully equipped apartments for the 5 of us for our short stay. The apartments are spotless, tastefully appointed and everything functioned well. Our hosts, Stefania, her husband and brother were awesome. So friendly and helpful. they picked us up and dropped us off at the train station (even at 6:30am). they recommended places to eat and things to see and would respond to any queries promptly.
