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.).

EcuadorBed was absolutely uncomfortable and didn't have enough blankets, so we had 4 cold nights. The stroller wouldn't fit the elevator, so it was useless for us. Not enough waste bags, so we had to solve that issue ourselves, not cool.
Location was absolutely extraordinary, best there could be in downtown Porto. Valentim was very nice. We had a feeding chair for the baby (parents you know how useful this is) and a really confty crib for him

New ZealandNot a dislike exactly, but be aware that there is only one bedroom in this apartment. The four bunk beds are located in an alcove that is connected to the kitchen/dining/living area with no door. As a family of four, this wasn't a problem for us, but light and noise wise there is the potential for disturbing those using the bunk beds when accessing the bathroom or the kitchen/dining/living area at night. We were on the ground floor so you may hear the nearby wine bar (?) during Friday/Saturday nights.
This apartment is a handy location... not in the heart of the historic centre but within a 15m walk (or a short car ride) of most of the sights, and relatively close to a mini-mart and a number of really good cafes, restaurants and shops. The host provided plenty of information that assisted in planning our time in Porto, was friendly, and quick to respond when we needed new towels etc. during our five night stay.

Valerie contacted us upon our arrival in Porto and supplied us with full instructions to get to apartment. Upon arrival he was there to meet us and show us to the accommodation and the facilities. No keys are issued as it is all key codes which saves the stress of carrying keys around. The apartment was immaculate and everything needed for our stay was provided including a list of cafe's and restaurants in various price ranges, also transport options and tourist facilities. The accommodation is.at the quieter end of a main street so not far to walk to reach everything. Oh and plenty of t.v. channels if that's your thing.. we had a fabulous stay and would high recommend.

The staff was super responsive and easy to coordinate with, the checkin process was very easy. There was one big bed in a bedroom, and one sofa bed in the living room. There was even a little balcony.

BulgariaThe terrace is a bit small, but I would still consider it as a plus as in this area not all buildings have such an option.
Very good location - you are in the central area at walkable distance to the sightseeing places and variety of restaurants and bars, at the same time easily reachable if you are with a car. The apartment is equipped as described, so no surprises there. The host Valentim was very kind and helpful providing us the information we needed at that time.

IsraelThe bathroom was a little narrow so not ideal for larger people. On cold cloudy days the water heater had to be turned on for a while before a taking shower.
Great location, 5 minutes from both Trindade and Bolhao stations. Very clean, and the staff is friendly. Kitchen was equipped with kitchenware and cookware, microwave, oven, electric cooktop, and a normal size refrigerator. There was a dishwasher in the apartment, and a shared washing machine in the building.
