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.).

IrelandCheck out time on Booking.com states 11am, we received a text the day before check out advising it was 10am. We advised them that we had booked and arranged to collect a car on the basis of 11am check out and would not be able to check out any earlier. When we arrived back at the apartment at 10.40am to finalise packing and remove our bags there was already someone in the apartment cleaning it without our permission or knowledge and with all our personal belongings still there. Its was extremely disappointing to not have been made aware of this especially when check out on booking.com is noted as 11am and we had sent a screenshot showing this. As well as this the WiFi was very unreliable it would often not be working even after re starting the router, the hairdryer wasn't working and the curtains in the bedroom kept practically no light out even though there is an adjoining building that has a light on all night. I would not stay here again or recommend it.
The apartment was clean and modern

Cayman IslandsBEWARE: the property is not on Portswood Road but is 500m (1500') away on Upper Portswood. It's not right next to the V&A Waterfront but about 4 blocks away across a very busy street. The booking.com listing is blatantly incorrect and when questioned, the property manager's response was that the correct address was sent 24 hours before check-in. Typical bait and switch. I booked the property for my Mum (who is in her 70s as it was supposed to be close to the waterfront) and would not have booked it if the correct address had been shown. Customer Service was not any help as they agreed with the manager that it was OK to send the correct address 24 hours before check-in. All-in-all a disappointing. And the kitchen lacked the basics.
There wasn't much to like
