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.).

CyprusThe stairs are steep and difficult with heavy luggage as there is no lift. The internet was very frustrating as TV comes through internet too I believe. However , the host offered an alternative that was great.
The property was lovely. A traditional Brownstone with many original features. Only 5 minutes walk to the subway.

United StatesA little spotty internet connection, tends to drop often.
All went well, great location. I had Studio APT. Exactly what I wanted for this trip. Convenient location in Harlem & traveling around all of the City. My Studio Apt. was on the top floor, OK for me but possibly inconvenient for Elderly or impaired. Host was very accommodating & Pleasant, Building was safe & secure.

United KingdomIt is not that near to downtown so be ready to take ubers especially at night. Also the heating is very noisy every night.
The place was fair enough with its value. It is cheaper than the ones near usual tourist spots, and if you have more budget, might as well take the nearer places so you do not need to use subway that much which by the way is not a pleasant experience of you are not used to it. But if you are on a budget, this will work as there are lots of cheap restaurants surrounding the place, most of it are soul food. Also, the owner was very helpful during the start of our stay as I accidentally left the key inside the place - we were helped immediately to get a spare key.

IrelandThe heating system. The thermostat for the apartment was in the hallway outside of the apartment and shared with other apartments in the building. Most of our stay another person kept putting the thermostat up at its highest. It was unbearably hot and it was impossible to do anything about it. If we turned it down they just turned it back up again.
Homely feel, well serviced by the subway nice neighborhood.

United KingdomThe heating was a bit of a mystery. There are some big pipes that are sometimes scalding hot and do not seem to have any controls within the room.

United StatesThe pull out bed was very uncomfortable. Finally found a way to situate myself between the bars of the frame so I didn't wake up sore. Would also have liked a chair or hooks in the bathroom for hanging things.
Very cute apartment. Spacious bathroom. Nice building. Easy walk to subway and to metro north. Kitchen well equipped. Questions were answered quickly. Everything was nice and clean. Enjoyed looking at the apartment buildings and back yards from the windows. Also enjoyed owner's choice of art and decorating style.

NorwaySome of the utensils were dirty, and there was a dead roach(?) on the edge of the lowest drawer in the kitchen!! In the bedroom, the lampshade had ugly stains - it did not look good, so I turned it towards the wall. There was much dust on the lamp. The bedclothes did not look fresh, but I found a new set in the closet and changed the sheets.
I liked the location, Harlem, and the quiet street where the pretty house stands. The apartment is spacious, if a bit dark, as it faces the backyard. But the artificial lighting is good. The bathroom was clean. The wooden floors are pretty, with no carpets, which is hygienic, but one must consider the sound.

United StatesIt is noisy. The nights we stayed, there was constant noise coming from upstairs. Also, you can hear every car passing from outside as it is on ground floor. So if you are a light sleeper you might want to consider it.
Great host - polite and responsive. There is everything you need including coffee and tea. Very clean. Nearby to the subway station. The value for money compared to the other places in the city is very good.
