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 StatesThe small bathroom has too large a sink with drawers for that small a space; it was hard not to bump into the sink -even for small sized individuals.
Monica, our host, was very prompt to answer messages and seems very organized. Very kind to let us into unit earlier than the usual check-in time. Spacious bedroom, living room/ dining area. Nice residential neighborhood, about 8 minutes walk from Leiden train station and easy to walk into town.

FranceIt is a very cozy and clean apartment, close to the train station as well as to the city centre. The apartment is very clean and has many facilities. Especially, I appreciated free tee and coffee. Also, it was great to have a washing machine and a well equipped kitchen. Ideal for several days stay. The host Monica is very helpful.

AustraliaOversized bathroom sink in an otherwise reasonable ensuite
Quick easy walk from train station . Ground level flat with separate bedroom with ensuite ( tiny ) Combined large lounge kitchen dining with small setting in outside space which would only suit smokers Excellent underfloor heating , well equipped with washing machine dishwasher and lots of kitchen utensils stove microwave ( no stove ) and fridge , bed is a bit soft for our liking and would have preferred a couple of extra pillows to choose from one was too low and flat but overall excellent stay and Leiden is a beautiful little town with regular train to Amsterdam .

United StatesThe shower could have been a bit cleaner. On the day we were leaving, the cleaning people got there before 10:30 and we told them we were on our way out. It is bad enough that the check-out is so early, so it would be better to have the cleaning people come at 10:35 instead of 10:25. Since we only stayed for 4 nights, it would have been nice to have coffee pods for 3 mornings and some soap/shampoo. I understand if somebody is getting a weekly rate that they should provide their own supplies, but on short stays it would be nice to not have to go out and find coffee pods.
The unit was located in a good location with easy access to the train station and to central area of Leiden. The unit was in good condition and was comfortable. The host had many pamphlets and guides available to find out about the offerings of the city. There was even a binder of details on how to operate the appliances and contact details. It was well organized and helpful.

ThailandThe bathroom is too small. And the facilities provided are too few for two persons staying 3-4 nights, such as towels and toilet paper.
We stayed in the apartment twice, the first three days and the last four days of our whole 13 days trip. When we stayed in the first slot, there is no iron and ironing board in the apartment, I then wrote a message asking for these two devices. And when we arrived in the apartment later, we found that there are brand new iron and iron board in the apartment! Such a considerate and nice owner!

IsraelThe only negative thing about the apartment is the size of the shower room and the toilet, because it is really cramped. It has everything you need and I (average size) got used to the limited space very quickly and this fact did not bother me.
It is actually about renting an apartment on the ground floor, which has a bedroom and a central room, which also includes a kitchen. The apartment includes most of the appliances required for daily living. The location is excellent, within minutes of cycling to anywhere significant in Leiden. During the time I stayed in the apartment, I did not experience any environmental noise or any other hazard. This is a residential neighborhood. The apartment owners were available and answered every question I had efficiently and quickly. It is important to remember that by renting the apartment, you lose the human connection with other tourists, which you can expect in a normal hotel.

ColombiaAs hoped, Monica's apartment turned out to be the perfect spot for the three of us to use Leiden as a base for a six-night stay in Holland (aka The Netherlands). Leiden itself is a wonderful place and we were pleasantly surprised by the lack of visible tourism. The property is in a very quiet neighbourhood just outside the old centre and a 5 to 7 minute walk to the station. It's quite fully equipped (stove and microwave, no oven) and we used it for breakfast and light meals. The small patio is a nice outdoor space for drinks and even a meal. Monica was a great host and, when asked, recommended an excellent pizzeria (Pavarotti) where we ate twice. It is well supplied but the policy seems to be that if one runs out (e.g. toilet paper) one should purchase more. Best to clarify with Monica.

The location was perfect. Close to the bus and train stations just a 10 mim walk. The main city is also a min walk. The facility in the accomodation was perfectit was just like home. Could not have asked for more. Our host was fantasic ready if we needed her. Would highly recommend this place to everone. It was cosy, clean and very nice place. You could cook you own breakfast, lunch and dinner if needed (which we did). It also just a 10 min walk to any of the supermarkets in the area (jumbo, aldi, dirk) There was plenty of cleaning produces for us to use. Saved us lots of money doing this. This accomodation was just perfect what more can I say.
