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.).

IrelandWe arrived on Thursday and up to Sunday there wasn't any housekeeping in our room, no bins emptied or beds made or clean towels or toilets paper. we mentioned it at reception and the girl said she'll get someone up. Later that evening all was left inside door was towels and toilets paper. So i said it at reception the next morning (Monday) how come they're not emptying bins or cleaning our room. And she was surprised that coming into the 5th day there was no housekeeping done. I was surprised at that.
The beds very very comfy, the shower was fab. Facilities inside apartment was very good. Plenty English speaking channels on TV.

United StatesWiFi was nonexistent in the room. Staff said it was due to a storm. We had to sit in the lobby to use it. Also, I don’t understand how you can rent an apartment where you can cook a meal and not be provided dish soap and dish towel. There is absolutely no way to properly clean the dishes.
Property was very nice, apartment was very comfortable. We would stay here again.

Staff were particularly friendly, the reception gentleman, the lady at the pool bar, and the cleaners. We had a sea view apartment (306) which was large and clean and had a fantastic view over the town and sea. I'd seen reviews about the steps from the Old Town and whilst there are a few and quite steep, they can be avoided (if needed) by following the slightly longer road route. For us (60+) they actually felt like the steps did us some good! The weather was great and the hotel peaceful and relaxing. Great value and great location.

New ZealandCan be noisy at night. If you’re there to party in town it’d be great but I wouldn’t suggest it as a family place or quiet place
Great location, just outside the main town but close enough it only took a few mins walk to get there. Downhill there, all uphill back with a lot of stairs. Good for fit people but I wouldn’t book if you have any type of mobility issues

CanadaWhile the apartment had a full kitchen and pots and pans, appliances including coffee maker, there were no packets of coffee or salt and pepper for cooking. I checked with the front desk to see if they had any for purchase and there was none. There also wasn’t any dish soap in the apartment so we were unsure what to do with our dishes after we cooked. Overall our stay was great, but I think complimentary packets of coffee, tea and salt and pepper packets would’ve made our stay perfect!
Rooftop pool was amazing and overall our apartment was wonderful and spacious!

IrelandWould’ve liked a bigger pool that was heated a bit more. The pool is perfectly functional for someone looking for a nice dip and it’s really clean but if you have a group of 5/6 people they could nearly take over the pool with no bad intentions. Shower holder is strange the way it tightens and only figured it out on the last day but we probably should’ve asked sooner.
Really helpful, friendly staff who couldn’t do enough to help. Property is only a stones throw from the best that Albufeira has to offer (though the climb out of old town on steps is a good workout !) For somewhere that can be very noisy at night this property is far enough out that you will not hear the music but close enough that you’d take no notice of popping down for milk or bread. There is an excellent Lidl store a 10 minute walk away and a very good Aldi slightly closer. Continente is only 15 minutes away and you’d get anything from a laptop to bread to alcohol there. Apartment and furnishings are no frills but very nice. Relaxed atmosphere all around and no hogging of sun loungers by the pool. Good beds for a family of 4 adults and 2 teenagers. Stayed in 204 which is 30 seconds from the pool and 15 seconds from the nearest Uber pickup which worked very well. No shortage of hot water for showers and very well equipped kitchen with good oven and hob.
