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.).

CanadaThe building was run down, and the master bedroom was next to the really busy street so it was really loud when sleeping.
Easy communication with property manager/owner. Our arrival time was early and we were allowed to check in earlier than expected. Easy access to beaches, shopping and restaurants.

I liked the location being close to the beach and shopping. It was easy to find, and the people were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

PhilippinesThe building is old. Elevator can only accommodate 5people I think if you have a lot of stuff but we were able to squeeze in even with a stroller. Parking needs a lot of walking as it is located in the next building across the street. Our driver would drop us off first and park or get the car and drive few streets to pick us up in front of the building. We only stay for 4nights so all of these does not matter to be honest.
The price is reasonable knowing that parking and accomodation are included. The location is perfect for those who wants to stay in Waikiki. It is walking distance from Hilton Hotel and 10 to 15mins walk or 5mins drive to main Waikiki. We enjoyed the place especially our family wants to cook breakfast and prepare food for our roadtrip for the whole day itinerary. It has two bedrooms and can accommodate 6 to 7 people. It is also clean when we check in and kitchen tools are available even the beach stuff for adults and kids. Loan, the owner, kept us posted and provided detailed check in information and allowed us to check in early. We are so happy and contented to choose this place for our wonderful family vacation in Oahu. Everything went smoothly.

United StatesThe top thing I didn't like was the back sliding door didn't lock and it opens very easily. Every time we were there we had to watch our 22 month old like a hawk because he would constantly try to sneak out. It's on the fifth floor and he could fit easily between the bars of the balcony. So it was stressful. Admittedly if I'd known ahead of time I wouldn't have stayed here. Hopefully they get it fixed. If you don't have small children it's not a problem then. Also I wasn't crazy about the location because at least twice a night sirens would go up and down the street waking me up. Maybe get earplugs?
The condo is nice and there's plenty of room if you have a lot of kids or a larger group. I would say it can easily sleep 7. If you have a baby 8 because they have a pack n play crib.

United StatesThe location was great and the parking spot for our rental was right across the street which was super convenient. Everyone was super nice that we met in the building, laundry was practically right next to the apartment, and the best part was that there were two actual separate bedrooms. It was very comfortable for our family of 5.

United StatesAs expected and mentioned in the booking description, the location is on a busy street corner with lots of traffic noise. If you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. However, the location is close to 7-eleven, and other food options. Lots of foot traffic. We didn’t walk to the beach, but the map shows it’s a 15 min walk. Walking distance to main touristy area of Waikiki shopping.
Great value! Free parking and secure property that requires a key to access building, parking, elevators, and the apartment. We are a family of 5 (3 adults and two grade school kids) - the space was good for us and apartment was very functional. This an older builder kept in good condition and the apartment itself is well maintained. Host is thoughtful in providing Extra beach towels, coffee grinds, coffee filter, tea, sugar, some cooking spices, toiletries, first aid kit, waterproof pouches for cell phone. There was even a rice cooker and extra charging block/cable for iphone! Also provided sunscreen, boogie board and sand toys! Super convenient location! There’s a laundry room near the apartment (on same floor) and laundry detergent is included in the apartment!!!

Location, furnishings, every day and beach items aplenty. And portable fans and air coolers. Well Stocked Kitchen. Near the perfect parking garage. Love the pool towels! And the written instructions.

FranceThe "jalousie" windows, that do not close properly so it's like having the windows open all the time. Because the streets are very noisy it's impossible to sleep even with ear plugs. No luck with the bedroom at the back either, despite not facing the road, it is also very noisy because of the awful sound made by an engine next door, probably for the air conditioning system of the opposite building, 24/7.
The flat is well equiped and spacious

United StatesSO LOUD!!!! The hurricane windows would not close, there were huge gaps which allowed the street noise in to the main bedroom & living room. We felt like we were sleeping on the sidewalk. We tried to drown out the noise with the AC, fans, and TV, but nothing worked. It was 3 miserable nights of no sleep. NEVER again!!!! Not to mention that the city turned the electricity off at 10 pm until 5:20 am the first night we were there so we had no AC. We were not told it was happening other than by a sign on the elevator that said it would be unavailable due to a scheduled electrical outage (never specified throughout the entire building)..
The location was a close walk to the canal trail & Waikiki Beach.

CanadaOverpriced and disappointing. The location is sketchy and very noisy since it's so close to a busy intersection. Old building with a very slow elevator. The entire apartment needs a deep clean, especially the drawers (don't use or look inside - gross), sticky shelves in the closet, couch crumbs, floors, carpet, baseboards etc. Used dirty sponge and dish brushes were provided. The carpet is stained, filthy and should be replaced. It says it can accommodate 6 but the bed in the living room is a blow up mattress, not a pull out sofa.
The apartment was spacious for 4 people.
