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 KingdomNothing. It was everything we needed.
This is a really lovely property in an excellent location. Close to multiple public transport options and also walkable distance to many sights. Very friendly and helpful host. Apartment is comfortable, light and bright with lovely views over the city. Yes - the stairs are steep and narrow, but that is made very clear so don’t book it if you are not able to climb them.

GermanyLight in the bathroom didn't work but was substituted by a different lamp and repaired shortly after we left. Motion sensor for light in the hallway outside the apartment didn't work. No big thing:)
We had a nice stay at Iwans place. The location of the apartment is very comfortable - tram station at the doorstep (~15 minutes to the center) and in a nice, quiet neighborhood with small supermarkets and various restaurants in walking distance. The apartment itself is well equipped, spaceious and clean. We appreciated coming back to this "home away" after a long day out.

GermanyThe only downside were the flights of stairs to reach apartment on first day! But then again, we had 4 suitcases to bring up! Going down was easier.! But having said that, l wouldn't hesitate to rebook again and hopefully travel lighter! As it is a charming older building, there aren't lifts. But definitely well worth the climb!
The location was more than we hoped for. Local neighbourhood was charming with easy and quick access to shops and public transport. Only a few tram stops to the centre of Amsterdam and all places of interest. Evenings in the apartment were cosy and very quiet! A peaceful neighbourhood. Iwan and Abdo, our hosts,were on hand for all our queries and any house related issues. We were even offered late check out as incoming guests wouldn't be arriving till late. We didn't have to do this as other options were presented to us, but we appreciated the effort to accommodate us if possible. Would definitely ensure another reservation if retuning to Amsterdam.

IndiaActually for such a lovely place , I cannot think of any problem at all. If I come to Amsterdam , am sure to request for this apartment again. My family did not have an issue as we took it as a daily exercise. Please remember apartment is on a higher floor and climbing 3 floors is required.
The location is very convenient . The view from apartment is fantastic. Tram Bus Metro . Anything I could think of was already there in the apartment . Coffee, Sugar , washing machine, oven, iron , clothes stand. Most important was the continuous interaction patient guidance from Iwan where he made everything so easy to understand and made us so comfortable and at home away from home.

GermanyThe apartment was perfect for our stay, since we participed at an event in the RAI convention center. It is really beautiful, comfortable and very clean. Public transport with good connections to central station and city center are more or less directly in front of the door. The owner is super friendly and helpful and responds to any question immediately! There are quite steep stairs to get to the apartment, which is very typical for Amsterdam. Supermarkets and nice restaurants are in walking distance. We fully recommend this appartment!!!

MexicoEverything was exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone. Would book it again without a second thought. The host is super friendly and helpful and communication was great before and during our stay. The apartment was beautiful, clean, private and well equipped for a comfortable stay. The location is great, close enough to the more touristic side of the city by transport just a few steps from the door and also just a beautiful and brief walk away from excellent local places to see, shop or eat at.
