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.).

PortugalThe kitchen furniture was really destroyed. Doors and front doors falling. Even the fridge door not working very well. All things easy to solve and that cold improve a lot the experience. There is several Blue Bay, you will need some GPS coordinates to be in front of the correct one.
The price was good for 5 nights. Staff was nice. Location very good ,near restaurants and public transport. Good Internet.

United KingdomAfter payment was taken for our apartment we were guided to our apartment which was a few streets away from the main building. We assisted the guide to get there as well as getting into the building using the keypad. There appeared to be a language barrier too when we tried to converse with him. First impressions of the apartment was okay but issues arose when we started using the facilities on our first night (Wednesday): the light in the main bathroom remained dim despite leaving it on for some time, the french door in the second bedroom and the front door wouldn't lock. We informed the reception about these issues that night, about 21:45 - turns out there's no reception desk at our building so I rang the reception at the main building: there was again another language barrier but they informed that the maintenance man would be out within 5-10 minutes if it's quiet but about 15-20 minutes if he's busy. Half an hour passed no one arrived, we called reception back and got the same answer, waited a further 20 minutes still no one arrived. An hour later when my friend and I were about to go to bed there was a knock on the door and it was the maintenance man. He started with the front door lock - he checked it a few times and managed to lock it but when I tried to do it it didn't lock so he examined it further and tightened some screws until I could lock it. When he checked the french window he said it would need a part, he said it would be fitted the next day, same with the bathroom light - it would be sorted the next day. He could not give a time but assured that it would be done the next day (Thursday). Although we were on the 4th floor I didn't feel safe with the french door unlocked throughout the night so for a bit of peace of mind I put some chairs on the balcony upside down as a deterrent. I had broken sleep that night, which is unusual for me but the slightest noise woke me thinking someone was breaking in.
The apartment was spacious and had air conditioning. It contained all the facilities mentioned in the advert. The hairdryer was good too.

United KingdomThe previous reviews about Blubay Apartments, Fleet Street we read prior to our holiday did not reflect our stay. The apartments are in an older building and the acoustic soundproofing is not the best but ear plugs sorted this. The property is in a great location close to all the amenities and bus stops. The studio was more than adequate. Great roof terrace with plunge pool. Clean. Helpful & friendly staff. If fact we have already booked to return in September.

United KingdomInitial check in was abysmal. Receptionist at BluBay Apartments initially said there was no reservation in my name then said there was but we were at the wrong place. I tried to show him the numerous emails I had had with them about my booking which also confirmed where I was to check in but he was adamant we had to go to Bayview Hotel. We went there and we're told we were in the wrong place. When I explained that the first guy had sent us there they said they would sort it out and allocated us a 7th floor apartment which was unsuitable due to my mobility problems (not safe in an emergency as I would not be able to evacuate via the stairs) They eventually found us a 2nd floor apartment which was poorly equipped - (not sure if this was because they weren't expecting it to be used that day) The toaster and the iron both had European plugs (sockets are 3pin British style) so we had to ask for an adaptor, several of the pillows leaked stuffing and the sheets were too small for the beds (3ft beds but sheets for 2'6 single beds) Additionally there were only 5 glasses (1 pint, 1 large wine glass, 2 small wine glasses and a small tumbler) There was no information of any kind as to how to use the appliances, no fire or emergency information etc. The staff on the front desk at the Bayview were helpful but definitely not forthcoming with information (when checking out we were told we could leave our luggage "in the luggage room" with a vague wave to the left however when we found it we had to go back to reception to ask them to open a locker for us. They were obviously aware that the only way they could be opened was by a staff member with a key so why did they not accompany us in the first place?
Fantastic location, apartment was roomy and pleasant. Most staff were helpful but some were downright rude

United KingdomThe walls are paper paper thin so it's difficult to get any sleep with the surroundings, I stayed in central amsterdam a few days earlier and managed to sleep well in a cheap hotel but this place is a nightmare if you have noisy neighbours. Completely not the staffs fault and as the price was so good it's hard to complain but I definitely wouldn't stay here if you have young children and don't want to end up having an awkward birds and the bees chat with them haha. Definitely worth paying a little bit extra to stay somewhere where you can get at least a little bit of decent sleep
Good size room and well equipped for the price, nice little balcony space and all of the staff were extremely friendly!

United KingdomThe kitchen facilities are quite lacking & basic. I booked an apartment so I could cook my meals but there is no chopping knife (just eating knives & a bread knife) & there were two huge pans which could not be used at the same time as they didn't fit on the hob together, so you could only cook one thing at a time. On a positive note, I did have a microwave which I wasn't expecting & was grateful for. There is no washing up liquid to clean the dishes after cooking or cloth to dry them with & as I was only staying for 2 nights it wasn't something I wanted to buy.
I had a short but pleasant stay. The room was very clean & well presented. The air con system allowed me to have it as warm or as cool as I wanted. As a solo traveller the room was big enough for me but wasn't huge, probably 'cosy' for a couple. The bed was comfy enough. The towels were lovely. There was a balcony so it was possible to sit outside but there was no view, just looking straight at other buildings. The reception is available 24 hours & all the staff, from the reception team to housekeeping were very helpful & welcoming. The apartments were well located, less than 5 minutes walk from the main street/promenade where you can find lots of restaurants, shops & access to the ferries.
