How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

We were fine with the stairs to get into the unit but could be a problem for some people with large bags as they were quite high and steep.
Large rooms, comfortable beds, clean apartment. Well stocked kitchen with nice large mugs for tea and coffee..

The new model of Fisher & Paykel oven and cooktop is very unfriendly to users. We spend one hour to figure out how to use it. For the cooktop, we gave up trying. We even asked the next door neighbour to tell us how to use it. He failed as well. This is very bad for guests who do jot know how to reset the cooking facilities. The hosts should put a notice of how to use them. Very bad experience for this.
Local is pretty good. Parking is convenient. Beds are very comfortable. All facilities are very well equipped.

There is a flight of stairs leading up to the main door of the apartment. Not great if you have heavy luggage. The rooms were a bit on the chilly side with only a small heater on the wall. Electric blankets would have been nice.
The apartment was really new and clean. Gate with combination lock to get into the compound. Parking was right outside. Keys from the lock box - so everything was easy. No rush to arrive - instructions were given ahead of time. Food places just opposite and a few blocks away. Quiet at night. Washer/dryer on the first floor. Washing powder provided. Rooms on the second. 2 toilets - really helpful during the morning rush. Huge curved LG TV in the living - awesome. Balcony for fresh air. New and nice kitchen. Highly recommended.

The only issue we had was the washer/dryer. And this was mostly user error. Ha! But I texted the owner and they got back to me immediately with some help.
This is a great apartment located just off the main street of downtown. It was easy to walk everywhere. There were plenty of restaurants in the neighborhood and a great coffee shop a block away. We were very comfortable in this home.

The stairs leading to the apartment unit. We had a bunch of heavy luggages and struggled a little to get it up. However this is not the fault of the host as I did not check whether there a lift going up the apartment, so fault was mine.
We love the apartment - it was clean and spacious. Easy access to where we wanted to go. Beds were very comfortable and host left precious instructions to enter. Excellent illustrations!
