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.).

MozambiqueWe loved the green terrace with an amazing view towards the bay, especially at night when all the lights were flickering. We found a welcoming bottle of wine in our apartment on arrival, which was a nice touch. The apartment was spotlessly clean, well equipped with facilities needed to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. We were even provided with a laundry detergent capsules and washing mashine tablets. We really enjoyed the well maintained pool, available in the building. Our car could conveniently be parked in an underground parking lot, just under our apartment.

Switzerland-
Very nice and helpful reception. Safe inhouse parking for rental car. Spacious appartment with terrace/garden and sea view and well equipped kitchen. Direct exit to the beachfront and nearby restaurants as well as shopping possibilities. All in all it appeared to be a safe environment; nevertheless the appartement was fitted with extra solid window security grilles which can be opened and locked (a bit clumsy and heavy).

Beautiful apartment in a fantastic location. Overlooking the beach which is just a few steps away. Well appointed, clean and spacious. New bathrooms have just been fitted and these were spotless. The complex is very secure with a reception, beach access and secure underground parking. Nearby are bars and restaurants. The beach bar some 100m away shows sporting events incl Premier League soccer. The food and service were also excellent. Several supermarkets are within a 5 min walk and a bakery just nextdoor.

AustraliaThat we had to leave
Close to Hout Bay shops, restaurants and the beach. The apartment is well appointed, with everything you need, and it's evident that extra thought has been put into making this a perfect getaway. We especially liked the laundry detergent capsules, the kids books and toys, and the emergency power outage box with battery powered lights.

South AfricaThe neighbours in the apartments above were really loud and noisy at odd times of the night: 11 pm to midnight and 5:30 am. The top apartment neighbours threw live matches and a coke can into the garden of no. 9. This was disappointing and disconcerting. It's a great pity that such privileged people behave so selfishly.
The on-the-beach setting; the incredibly beautiful scenery; the close proximity to all facilities and entertainment venues; the spacious, comfortable and beautifully-decorated interiors; the kindness and friendliness of the letting agents and their great communication; and the great security of the apartment complex.
