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.).

RomaniaI know that some of the points are not actually related to the apartment and services but it does have an impact on your stay ( to the point that it may badly influence it ). 1. The company that manages the property requires you to pay additional city taxes after you book the place ( thing is, we stood into other accommodations too that didn’t require us to pay it ) 2. The company that manages the property doesn’t show too much interest, or so it feels like ( for example: We were asked to fill the check-out form 2 days prior to our departure which made us feel unwanted. We had another issue which they couldn’t assist us with, will mention it further below. 3. The furniture needs a little retouch as you can clearly see that it is a little bit rusty and outdated. ( after all it’s just a matter of taste, for us it didn’t actually matter but yea, a little modern style wouldn’t hurt ) 4. The only places where the wifi works are: bedroom / livingroom 5. The neighbours are loud ( they have small kids who run and scream during the night, so expect that in some nights you may hear a lot of noises. This is the part where we asked the company that manages the property to help us with them but they said they have no contact, which for the future, they should get in touch with them ). 6. The overall value for the money isn’t so good after you see in person the apartment ( it looks better in pictures )but yet again, it depends on the type of person you are. For us, it was just fine but others that may book should take this into consideration.
Location: As we managed to visit Madeira, I can say that the location was really good. The roads were large enough not to present any issues, there was no traffic and everything we needed was just a few minutes away. ( A small shopping-mall 5 minutes by car, places to eat 2 minutes, attractions, depending on what you want to visit, the location offers safe and direct routes to them ). Building: It has an elevator for easy access & free safe parking on premises. Not to mention the fact that the place is well taken care of. Apartment: It is a large apartment, having 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, 1 livingroom, large closed terrace. Amenities: The apartment is equiped with everything that you need and much more. ( hair dryer, dish washer, big fridge, washing machine, Smart TV, wifi, stove and so so much more ) We had a good stay during our time in Madeira.
