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.).

United KingdomThe hot water situation should be changed. I am very eco-conscious and the daily limit on hot water didn’t bother me BUT it was never hot enough to have a hot shower. The water was always warmish which was ok for hand washing but not a shower. I had to wash very quickly and was very cold once I stepped out of the shower. Could have had the option to have breakfast a bit earlier. I wasn’t sure what was done with leftover food from breakfast. I hate food waste and would have saved pastry for the next day or an afternoon snack but didn’t want to look like I was hoarding food. Didn’t like the instant cappuccino as it was pre-sweetened, etc. Luckily, the people before us must have felt the same & left a jar of instant coffee which I used after the first day. There were many choices of tea - yet no black tea which we would have preferred.
The location was fab! Able to walk everywhere. We were on the top floor, so despite being in the heart of things, it was still quiet. The breakfast in a basket was a really cute idea that worked for us. Staff very friendly & helpful. Sorry not to be able to say goodbye to Lucus. Having a shop at street level really worked as it was tasteful & one could browse in a spare moment. I even bought a bath rug!

United StatesThe apartment is located above a small (very cute boutique). This made it very convenient to pick up keys. The staff were lovely, especially as I made a booking error and inadvertently reserved for the wrong day. They quickly helped me resolve the situation and were so accommodating as there was an apartment still available. I was so grateful as this was my first visit to Porto (and had just come from airport after flying from the US). The location was extremely convenient (and easy to reach by Metro from airport). The apartment itself was lovely, clean, and modern.

United KingdomThe only negative is the stairs, as there are no lifts and are quite steep but to be fair that is noted. It may be a problem for some people. Oh, the wardrobe / storage shelves are quite high up - to reach, but probably ok if only a short break.
The property is small but perfectly formed! It was spotless and a good shower and comfortable bed. The location is brilliant 5-10mins walk downhill to the river front and square. The staff were lovely and happy to assist with anything. There are many lovely restaurants in that street and a handy Spar shop practically next door to the apartments, for drinks and any essentials. Also noticed a coffee machine & pods etc, on the first floor for guests, which was a nice touch. Thank you to all xx
