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 excessive increased amount of emails I recieved prior to staying. Then also the fact the company said they'd take a percentage security deposit 2 weeks prior to arrival (I do expect something like this). I had also ticked the box which said yes too paying the full amount on arrival, they then took the full amount at the 2 weeks prior, then on arrival held another half which I wasn't expecting. So then left wondering why another large amount was charged to my card. Totally reasonable request to please take rubbish out to the bins, however bins were not labeled outside on which ones belonged to the unit I was residing in, so just placed recycling in the correct coloured bin. Then recieved another email with a neighbour's complaint of using their bins. Thought the unit was actually lovely, modern and clean. Just things around the stay lacked concise communication.
Clean, tidy and modern property, comfortable beds. Fabulous shower presurre, perfect.

New ZealandOutlook wasn't good, how was it a building site very close to this building. Luckily the builders weren't on site while we stayed there or it would have been very noisy. Wardrobe had large items being stored in there so hanging clothes was challenging. No Suitcase stands. No shelves in bathroom at all.
Handy to Hadleigh Park and Restaurants etc.

New ZealandI received the same information multiple times (12 emails/texts all up) yet the team never addressed my request for early check in. After the money had been paid, they were claiming I hadn’t paid even though my bank showed the payment completed. Also, they won’t give you access details until you sign an extensive contract which includes agreeing to a $500 bond. The apartment is small and it looks different from the photos. There were no rubbish bins in the unit (not idea for women who want hygiene related privacy) instead you get one compostable bag for trash and one paper bag for recycle; I found this really gross. The bedrooms are very hot and we had to sleep with our doors open and it was still too warm to sleep. Again no privacy whatsoever. You’re not meant to open the windows or leave the heat pump on overnight (read the contract). This place wants your money but they don’t want you.
It was easy to find.
