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 StatesThe back stairs are terrifying, no way they are up to code. Also would like a little more information after booking about when to expect to get more direction for checking in etc. We didn't get any that information til like maybe an hour before check in.
It was cheap and in a nice area of town. Quiet too. Appreciated the plastic on the mattress while not a pleasant sound it is reassuring that it is clean and no bugs. Would book again. Again it's under 100 dollars so overall I'm happy.

United StatesABSOLUTELY NO PARKING good luck with the parking situation. There's a few apps you can use to find parking, there's some places you can park on general streets but it's a bit of a walk.

GermanyI have to give a lower score for cleanliness, only because of the kitchen area. There were dirty dishes in the dishwasher when we got in, and I also found some not-so-clean dishes in the cupboards. There weren't a lot of things in the cupboards/drawers, so I just put it all in the dishwasher and ran it on hot. There were knives, but no forks or spoons, and a coffee maker but no filters; we borrowed from our son who lives nearby. If these things were taken care of, I would give all good ratings.
Located in a great neighborhood, with easy access to the bus line. We booked the room with the private bath, and it was more space than we had expected, with an eat-in kitchen and little sitting area, plus the roomy bedroom and bathroom. Great little apartment for the money!

United StatesThere was an odd burnt chemical odor upon entering the unit every time, and I was unable to figure out where it was coming from. The bed was a bit too firm for my taste, and I like firm beds, so that's saying alot...haha. The photos on the site showed a couch/love seat in the living area and also listed it on the amenities. There was no couch and only 2 very uncomfortable dining chairs where I would assume it had been. If my friend had actually come to stay with me( I paid for 2 guests) he would have had to sleep in the bed with me and not on the couch like he had planned. I had an issue with the Roku TV/WiFi that was quite annoying (occurred 2 separate times and different people - I assume other guests) - I was watching a program when all of a sudden the screen began logging a random person into YouTubeTV. I had to completely shut down the TV to make it stop, and messaged the manager about it. I never heard anything back. There were 2 TVs in the unit, but only one remote for the one in the bedroom and no way to use the on in the living area.
Location of this property was excellent. Price I paid for the unit was excellent. Neighborhood was excellent. I was in town for a concert and to visit a friend, so this property was chosen for proximity to both. The direction for access were excellent, the unit was clean, although the ceiling fan was pretty dusty (I didn't need it, but wouldn't have been able to due to allergy if I had.) Seems a bit odd, however, that there were 3 bottles of shampoo and NO conditioner in the bathroom. (I don't use shampoo and did bring my own toiletries, but this is listed as an amenity) I was satisfied overall with my stay, and if I return to visit this area of town, I would stay here again.
