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.).

GreeceWe have booked and paid the apartment several months ago. Upon our arrival everything looked ok apart from dirty toilet with hair. The apartment we had booked was not like the one on the pictures. The next day furniture was moved because a plumber had come in the room without any notice from the owner. But the worst thing was the apartment was filled with cockroaches on the kitchen sink,walls, bathroom and bedroom. The owner was not surprised as he admitted there was a problem with cockroaches two days ago but thought it was solved. Only after we demanded moving to another place, we did get another room much smaller than the one we had paid for and in another building. We had to relocate though the night. This bathroom too had hair from previous use and the window of the room could not be closed properly resulting in us freezing during our stay.

United StatesIt wasn’t cleaned very well which was not very nice to discover. There was dark hair on the bathroom floor, as well as between the sheets. We had nowhere else to go, so we decided to stay, but we felt uncomfortable. Also, if you plan to get any work done there or need internet for any other reason — do not stay there. The signal was so bad I couldn’t even open a website and I had to pay to go work at a WeWork instead. The area isn’t nice for tourists — dirty and not many places to eat (there some good places for dinner but virtually no breakfast places).
If you need to stay in Harlem for some reason then this is a good central size. The studio was okay size and the bathroom was decent size.

AustraliaThe bed was a disgrace. It was small lumpy and meant we couldn't sleep. Even the couches in the small living living area had seen better days. We did try sleeping on them because of the diabolical bed, but the springs had gone and they were lumpy. Our room was not reflected in the pictures until you scrolled all the way down.
The location was great. A couple of blocks from the subway, Apollo theatre etc. Quiet building in a tree lined street.

United StatesThe building is under some kind of renovation. Therefore, it is messy. The apartment is so tiny that the only thing you can do is get inside and go to bed. The beds are very short and my husband would sleep with his feet hanging out of the mattress. Plumbing is bad. BEWARE: There is absolutely no washing machine or dryer. You will need to go down the street to a laundromat to do your laundry.
The location was convenient for us because my relatives live in the area. Otherwise, we would never have chosen this place to stay. The neighborhood was quiet, though.

ItalyWe were all the time with the window of the bedroom broken, and arranged in the best way possible with duct tape. On our last night due to the change in weather we felt very cold. Very far from JFK airport. Very narrow and impervious stairs to get to the floor, with a heavy suitcase to carry you risk hurting yourself very much. Structure not suitable for the disable person. At night the neighborhood is not very safe. I do not recommend the area for those traveling alone / s and want to go out at night.
Quaint neighborhood. Apartment far enough away from the noise of the city. Courtesy of the host. Close about to subway line. Some shop, bar and restaurant close to the apartment. Apartment clean. Apartment equipped with all comforts.

GermanyThe arrival was perfect, we got to the apartment very easily with the codes. And we had water and coffee for the first day, thanks for that. The accommodation is clean, large and cozy. Nice that we had a living room and a bedroom. In the kitchen and bathroom you have everything you need. The apartment is well located. Stores are nearby and the metro is not far away. We were in NY in winter when the weather was very cold. We were very happy that the accommodation had very warm heating and hot water in the shower. Overall a very good value for money and highly recommended.

United StatesThe biggest thing was the door knob. I don't know how I got in the first time, but I've never been able to replicate it. Please change that lock. Someone could be stuck outside or not know to call the second number (or the guy could be asleep if someone comes back really late) Put a padded doormat on the bathroom door threshold. I almost broke my toe against the threshold because I was unaware of the height shift.
Very cozy, temperature was excellent setting, bathroom was really nice.
