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 place can be quite dark. Luckily, it was generally sunny when I was there, so it was okay, but in winter I assume it is quite dark..
The owner is lovely and I came to enjoy the uniqueness of the place. I am having to do some work during this trip and there was a desk by a window. An easy walk to Old Town.

The apartment was easy to reach from the coach station, someone greeted us and there were city maps available in the apartment. It was lovely and quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the rain shower was fun! Lots of space for two people.

MaltaThe place was perfect for two nights, but it's very small and narrow so I wouldn't recommend it for longer stays.
The place is very central and walking distance from the old town. Self check in makes it easier too cause the time you arrive doesn't matter. The host was also super nice and easy to communicate with. And no stairs - bonus!

United Kingdom- The property is ground floor. This should be clearly stated in the description, to manage the expectations. This creates the situation where you need to take the blinds down most of the time and you feel like in windowless place. Maybe it is fine for couple of nights and for a proper price, but it should be told in advance. [Internal lights are fine, very bright and nice] - Property can benefit from a throughout cleaning and some refurb/change of carpets. All the important bits like shower, sinks, surfaces and sheets are clean, but generally the property should be cleaned deeply once in a while in addition to basic cleanup and hoovering. So bottom line - it is "working" property. Keep in mind a ground floor and it is fine for the right price.
Good location in terms of proximity to the centre and the promenade. Bright lights inside, big TV, nice mirrors here and there, good pressure of water etc.

Not far from the old town, owner was nice and helpful, all the necessary kitchen, bathroom and household items for even a longer stay, 2 TV's with lots of programs, enough space through out this 2 floor flat for several people to stay. It's quote narrow, but cozy.

IrelandIts a joke, not a two bedroom flat as described. Two storey warehouse or some security place or something originally, where someone put couple beds and old damp furniture. Smells damp a lot , place never cleaned, even owner tried to ask money for parking in back yard, which is free!!! Avoid this place in big way! Message to owner: this place needs proper refurbishment to meet description, please do that, or withdraw from booking platform.

GermanyUnfortunately the owner's English is quite limited. Once she arrived at the apartment, communication was ok, although I found it quite hard to communicate over the telephone, as unfortunately I don't speak any Latvian. The heating and hot water seemed to come on weakly and irregularly (not sure if it was working properly). The air in the appartment seemed as though a previous occupant had smoked in the appartment. This may have been a long time ago but we felt the need to air the place thourghly every time we came in. So together with that and the heating problems it was quite cold and I didn't risk taking a shower due to the hot water situation. The appartment is also quite dark. It was fine for two nights, sleeping with three blankets, but I wouldn't want to stay there for longer. This was mid October.
The owner of the appartment is very friendly and clearly wants you to have a nice stay. The place was very clean, only some dishes and cooking utensils hadn't been washed that thourghly by the previous users. The kitchen has an electric hob with two rings and is well equipped with everything you need. It's a very nice 10 minutes walk from the city centre. :)

Poland- The apartment is extremely dark, you can't function there without turning on the lights even during the day - the smell - absolutely horrible smell dampness/mould, not sure, but it was very powerful and really disturbing. You could get used to it after 10-15 minutes, but every time after coming back to the place it hit with the same strength - dampness and humidity - after 24h the towels were still wet - unbelievable cold - it was extremely cold, to the point were I had to wear a jacket all the time in the apartment. As it was only September, the heating wasn't working yet, so I couldn't do much about it. The funny thing is that it was quite warm outside, T-Shirt weather, but the apartment stayed extremely cold. There is one electric heater downstairs, but we were worried to leave it on when we were leaving the apartment, as it produced weird smell. In bed, even under two douvets, I was shaking with cold. - just a tiny drawbackspoken instructions via a phone call on how to get to the apartment rather than written ones. This is the first time I've experienced something like that and it made things a bit more difficult for us. - there is no shop within 5 minutes walk
+ close to the old down (approximately 10-15 minutes on foot) + Close to a tram stop + Good price + Everything you need is there in terms of facilities + Wi-fi was excellent

Ireland20 minutes from old Riga and any shopping facilities. Cold during the night, but had few spare duvets were in the wardrobe ( I have used 2 extra to feel comfortable).
The hostess was very friendly lady. The property is about 20 minutes walk from old Riga, where main facilities and shopping centres located. However, the area is quite and lovely buildings around as well as 2 parks. Very hard to orientate oneself to public transportation as well as figure out how to pay for a fare.

A really nice apartment situated near to the old town, allowing for walks to central station (25min) and main city attractions.
