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.).

Hong KongThere was no housekeeping service except that linen/bedsheet would be changed and bath towels & hand towels would be replaced once a week. Nobody would empty your rubbish bins.

New ZealandThe apartment was advertised as having HVAC, but there was only one heatpump and it was downstairs. The bedrooms, despite having fans provided had windows that only opened about 5cm and were almost impossible to cool. I had no communication before arrival and apparently was lucky to find the office open. It would have been useful to have been given more than one set of keys as our family often went in different directions.
Our apartment was conveniently located with the Botany Town Shops and supermarkets within walking distance. Off peak, it was less than half an hour to the CBD .... let's not talk about peak times but that would be the case no matter where you stayed. We had most things we needed for our stay, the kitchen equipment was basic but sufficient. Staff changed the linen for us after a week and were friendly and efficient.

New ZealandOne apartment was not so cleaned well, so had to do a quick scrub before family settled in. We checked in pretty late so there was not much time to sort out the rooms and have things arranged such as cots, baby safe gates to prevent baby from climbing up stairs. The pool was closed off for maintenance up to three days, during our stay and it was pretty hot, which was a bummer, however we made most of the beach. We had air-conditioning, but only the fan worked, and our fridge kept playing up, causing most of our cold beverage and food to go to waste. Also some of the facilities in our apartment were unusable. In one of the apartmemts they had an ant problem, first couple of days it was infested with ants, so we made sure all benches, floors and surfaces were sprayed and wiped everyday and night. It was more work for us, but we didn't mind. The office was closed most times, so we took it upon ourselves to make sure this did not become a problem during our stay.
I am so grateful for the head office who made my stay possible. I had a mixup on my end, but DHRUV ARORA was able to assist and made sure of my check-in. People at the office in Nesuto Newhaven came through by preparing the apartments last minute for our stay. The facilities, gyms and swimming pool kept our family busy, and rooms were spacious, the two apartments is great to accommodate for large families. The washer and dryer was a life saver for me and my family. We found out on day three that the coaches are a sofa bed, which was great for those hot nights. Kitchen was spacious and great to cooking up a storm. We rented out four apartments for 11 nights and our apartment was the main for meals and hangouts with the entire family. The compound was kept neat and everyone kept to themselves, not bothering anyone. Although it is an open space and everyone can pretty much see everything, however we made the most of our stay. I loved that the location was right in the heart of botany only 2-5mins drive to everything (mall, gas station, supermarket and more).
