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.).

CanadaVery minimally stocked kitchen. Would be difficult to cook if you planned to make meals in the apartment.
Paulo (the property manager) was incredibly helpful. He came to greet us and even brought batteries late at night for the AC remote. We loved the little garden our back. It was a perfect place to unwind after a busy day of sight-seeing. It felt peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed the Mama Mia restaurant about ten minutes away.

CanadaThe room felt a bit dark and cramped, with many doors in the style of these buildings. I would recommend adding a few items to make the room more comfortable, such as a small fold away table with chairs, as there was no place to sit and eat. We couldn't eat in the garden because it rained every day of our stay. Would also be nice to provide hand soap.
Basic and clean accommodations. The balcony door leading to the garden was very nice. Bed was comfortable and fridge was useful. There are no staff on site, but response time by message was quick.

ItalyThe only problem was about the stuff for breakfast. After a week, the bin in the kitchen was full, and we didn't have other bags for the trash. Also, it is useful to have a broom for swepping.
The apartment is very cool and, the garden is beautiful and the location is near the main strees with a lot of restaurants and shops.

GermanyThe garden is not so cosy, so we did not really hang out there. You‘ll take ~15-20 min to the inner city on foot, so it’s not directly around the corner.
Very nice place to stay! It‘s an apartment rather than a hotel. But very beautiful, clean and the location is good. You can walk into the city or quickly take an UBER. The host is super nice and made our (spontaneous) check-in easy!

United StatesIt is a bit far of a walk to get to everything - I think the price is a little cheaper than places I saw closer to reflect the difference. But it’s definitely a bit of an uphill trek back, especially after dinner. Not a huge deal but be aware!
A very cute, authentic building with a lot of charm! The rooms and vibe were really cute and the garden was beautiful.

CyprusA bit difficult to climb the ladder to the patio (where the two single beds are located), especially with luggage - moreover, the patio ceiling is low, so we had to be careful :) there is no indoors living room area, but the garden outside really compensates for that (as long as the weather is good).
Very nicely located in Porto, just a 10 to 15-min walk from central locations. Ideal for a short-term holiday when the main goal is to stroll around Porto and discover its beauties. The garden was great for chilling in the afternoon before going out and taking breakfast before a busy day out! The hostess was very helpful during the check-in process and provided us with many interesting suggestions for dining. She even allowed us a late check-out, since there were no other guests that same day, and that was highly appreciated by all of us.

United KingdomWe stayed in a family room, which was quite spacious. We had direct access to the garden which was a nice bonus. The room was clean and tidy. The area is fairly central and you can easily reach some of the main attractions by foot. Madalena, our host, was very friendly and attentive. She was also very accommodating of our late check-out request.

United KingdomFairly steep climb from centre to the apartment (Porto is very hilly!) However the Bolt/Uber service was excellent and very reasonably priced so it was easy to get in and out by car. The kingsize room we booked was at the front of the building on the main road so there was traffic noise and we didn't use the balcony. Rooms at the back would be quieter.
Nice room, high ceiling, extremely comfy bed with lovely linen, kitchen with a microwave and all the necessary plates and utensils to make snack food and breakfast or plate up/heat takeaway food. Not touristy. Hosts quick to respond to texts, didn't meet in person. Lovely to have room serviced daily.

United KingdomThe shower was a little weak and hard to get to a decent temperature - it was also mouldy as there was no window, etc. Floor boards were very squeaky, so I could hear everyone's movements, but it was an old house! We left at 3.30 am for our flight after our 2nd night. A little breakfast bag would have been nice delivered the night before as we had paid for bed and breakfast for 2 nights 😕 The back door was left unlocked after it had been cleaned, which we only realised when we got back from being out allday.
Lovely large room with own shower and toilet. Good facilities including a microwave and kettle. Breakfast was amazing in a little bag left at door- great selection. Bed was very comfy with nice clean bedding. Air conditioner which was also a heater was great. Nice little garden up a flight of steps where we had our breakfast. Geraldo was very helpful and welcoming also and arranged a taxi for our return to the airport at 3.45am!
