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 StatesAfter a long drive we finally arrived to our rental at 1am only to find out that the code they sent us to unlock the Airbnb was invalid and we were locked out. after many calls and about 15 min of waiting outside we were finally able to get ahold of someone to let us in, other than that the place was great but they never once offered any sort of discount or at least free parking for the inconvenience!

United StatesWe arrived earlier than expected and I reached out to the host to see if we could check-in at 2:30 rather than 4 p.m. She said this wouldn't be possible without paying a $60 early check-in fee. I then asked if we could just drop-off our bags and head out on the town and she said early bag-drop wasn't possible, either. It's not as though the unit was being cleaned and prepared. She said the reason for the early check-in fee was due to the a/c turning on once the unit is accessed. I'm not sure an hour-and-a-half constitutes $60 of air conditioning, but okay. Mind you, we were already paying nearly $2K for four nights. The lack of flexibility was an annoyance, but we still overall enjoyed the place. The second issue, and I realize others have mentioned it, is not being able to control the thermostat. The temperature was just very cold, and we often had to use the space heater to keep the room at a good temperature balance.
The unit was in an excellent location near Boystown on a lovely street. It came with some nice amenities, including a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, fan, and space heater. There were also two closets and a lot of space for clothing and placing your things. It was overall very clean in there. It was easy to access and the host was communicative.

United StatesWas not aware that this was a basement apartment. There was a family with a very young child , so there was lots of early morning running and also conversations coming through the ceiling vents that woke me up. Also, we arrived an hour and 15 minutes early and were charged a $50 early check in fee. Lastly, no instructions of how to get in which forced us to reach out to the owner. This also created tension.
The place itself was very comfortable, very clean and very close to Wrigley Field which was our destination. The street is lovely and accept for 10 to 11pm very quiet. Lots of people coming and going and loud in the streets.

United States"Garden Unit" is actually the basement with no windows as shown in the pictures. So make sure you know what you are paying for to accurately choose this unit. No easy parking options.
The price was right. For what you get, that is all that matters. The unit is as mostly as advertised. It is a basement unit with no easy parking.

BrazilParking is difficult and expensive! The property is announced as a 3 bedroom apartment but it's actually a 2 bedroom. There was a third bed in the living room.
The location is great!!

United StatesOne of the beds was more comfy than the other but it was still good! The upstairs apartment had someone walking around most of the night that we could hear but no fault to the owners or apartment itself!
Everything was clean, we were able to get earlier as requested!

United StatesNo free parking, no outside deck as we received the basement unit, heat didn't get turned on til later in evening but most importantly a tenant above us had a party going with company in and out all night and I was unable to reach the apartment owner or get any response regarding the disturbance even though the rules state quiet time from 10pm -7am. My kids were kept awake til 345am when we finally decided to just leave early and skip our intended destination for the next afternoon since Noone was able to get any rest to enjoy any activities the following day so the entire purpose of the room to get some rest before a fulfilled day then a 4hr trip home turned into an exhausting trip home at 4am with absolutely zero sleep
Very spacious and clean

United StatesThe key code was emailed to me. Once arrived the key code did not work for neither door. I called, texted and emailed but no answer. When a neighbor came out em I was able to get into the first door. Get down to the basement the code is not working. So happened the door was not locked. Such a horrible place and very unsafe because once you leave out the doors can o my be locked from the inside. Would not recommend this property.
