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.).

CanadaThe apartment was not very well supplied: one tea towel, little coffee supplies, no salt or pepper. These, are items oone would expect in an apartment. The stairs to the two upstairs bedrooms were very steep without a handrail.
Excellent location, excellent overall setup for 3 adults. Be warned, you will share one bathroom Everything worked perfectly and the bonus was a great view. Loved the elevator option. Lots of restaurants and supermarkets close by.

United StatesWould be nice to have 2 keys instead of just one, but this is minor.
It was a pleasure staying at the 2-bedroom apartment. It exceeded all our expectations. The location was perfect, with easy access to the city's main attractions. The apartment itself was immaculately clean and impressively spacious, providing a comfortable and luxurious retreat after a day of exploring.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a Downtown Historic Apartments in Porto, and it was a delightful experience. The three bedroom (2 mezzanine and 1 downstairs) apartment's location was superb, right in the heart of Porto's historic district. This allowed for easy access to popular attractions, restaurants, and shops. The charm of the surrounding cobblestone streets added to the overall ambiance. One of the standout aspects of the apartment was its cleanliness. The space was immaculate upon arrival. Our stay at the Downtown Historic Apartments was truly memorable. The combination of a fantastic location and well-maintained facilities, made it a standout choice. I would highly recommend it to fellow travellers looking for a comfortable and charming accommodation option in the wonderful city of Porto.

United KingdomWe wished the property had an extra toilet/bathroom. This apartment states it accommodates 6 adults but that would be tricky with only one shower and toilet. Great for a couple however. Also, the bedroom I used had low beams in the vaulted ceiling so it was impossible to stand up without banging my head. For this reason I don't believe this room is suitable for adults.
The host met us as soon as we arrived after our flight and we were able to check in early, which was great after a 3am start. Everything was made clear to us and we were very happy with the arrangements. The apartment was very clean and so well equipped and there is more than enough wardrobe space. I would definitely recommend it for a stay. Some very traditional bars and restaurants in the same road, making it a very convenient location if you don't want to walk too far. Great breakfast venues opposite the apartment.

We stayed in the three bed apartment. It was perfect for our needs and the balcony was a lovely bonus. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was perfect, close to the centre but not too close to the hustle and bustle. Rebecca was great - very responsive in relation to any questions that I had in advance of our stay. Aylen met us promptly and arranged check in to suit us.

The apartment was both clean and comfortable. It’s proximity to public parking and walking distance to sights made it exceptionally easy to get to and from our desired locations.
