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.).

Bulgaria- What you can't figure out from google maps, if you don't pay enough attention is that everything here is on steep hills, so is this house. If you're planning to walk from the city center to the house every day a few times, forget about it. There are many busses that you can take or use the BOLT app, which costs as much as the bus ticket most of the time
- Ligia is a Great Host and made our stay even better - The place has everything you need. Beautiful bathroom, functional kitchen and a table outside the room, which overlooks the little green jungle that Ligia created :) - It's a very convenient location, as it's near by 2 bus stops and you can hope on a bus and get to the city center in no time - 5-10 minutes from the place, you will find a nice bakery, supermarket and a grocery shop with nice vegetables/fruits - The airport bus passes by from here as well, so you don't need to go to the city center :)

Place is not far away from centrum, but it is quite hard up hill to go back to place, but for me was okay, additional cardio/hiking ;). For sure I’ll be back to this place while next time in Madeira, I recommend!

AustriaMaybe put some coffee or tea in the kitchen.
Owner was very nice and she recommended us the bakery around the corner, which is the absolute highlight. There are fruits growing in the garden. And the house is uphill, so the most convenient way is to go by bus or car.

NetherlandsThe kitchen did not have any windows which made it hard to air out and have daylight. So the temperature was always 24 degrees.
The host Ligia. We arrived early and called our host because the place was difficult to find. There are multiple houses with the same number. Fortunately Ligia was very helpful and we could enter our studio. Our baby had a great baby bed and there was a kitchen so we could cook dinner if we had an early night. The studio was clean and nearby center Funchal.

RomaniaThere was some mold on the kitchen cabinets and the bathroom one could have been cleaner. Also, if you do not like cats (it is not our case as we are huge cat lovers and have one of our own) you might be bothered by the feces and vomit in the yard.
We had hot water and good WI-FI connection, the kitchen was equipped, no loud noises besides the cars passing through the road; if you are a light sleeper, it might be an issue. I slept well, but my husband was able to hear them sometimes. Also the communication with Ligia went well and she was friendly.

PolandThe kitchen could have some basic ingredients (sugar, salt).
Good location close to a bus stop. Walk down to city center takes around 15mins. For adult it's possible to go up on foot but it's quite challenging. For a family it's necessary to go back with a bus. There are multiple buses that stops very close to apartment. The room was quite spacious and very clean. We managed to get a good sleep with 4 YO kid (he slept in kid bed). Very nice owner, who is extra helpful ;)

United KingdomBusy road opposite meant continual noise, easing midnight to 6am but otherwise bad. Steep 20 min walk uphill from city centre. On arrival, at the eta we d given in advance, there was no one there. Messages went unseen, finally had to make an international call (I have a UK phone) to reach the owner, who was 15 mins away. An hour on the busy road outside in the sun was not the best start to our stay.
Spacious, well equipped, studio with kitchen and bathroom, lovely terrace overlooking city set in beautifully kept gardens. Walking distance (20 mins steep hill tho) to farmers market area, near buses and with good local shops just round the corner.
