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.).

South AfricaDoors and walls are paper thin, you do hear almost every noise from outside or surrounding guests, Cleanliness of the unit was not up to standard(far from it) (I'll spare the details and photos) Air-conditioning remote was not in the room, when asked, it was stated that the accommodation removed it due to the loadshedding for saving power due to Eskom. TV had some black "water mark" on it, spoiling the picture(this is known to the staff, yet it has still to be replaced.) A lot of the amneties/things inside the apartment that I was expecting was either broken, half broken or of poor quality because of the amount of times it was used before. The couch and the bed pillows were extremely uncomfortable. My gripe is that I expected an okay place from the photos and the actual apartment did not live up to it. Upon addressing the issue, the manager/owner kindly refunded my money for the remaining stay but told me that it is budget accommodation and you cant expect everything to be perfect. I did not expect luxury accommodation, but I do find it a bit strange that the sign outside said something along the line of "Luxurious self catering accommodation" On a last note, whatever fragrance was sprayed inside before arrival (was really overpowering and unpleasant(for a whole 2 days) I appreciate the quick and painless conflict resolution, unfortunately this is not accommodation that I would return to. I hope that this will help you improve and provide future guests with a better stay than I had.
Price of accommodation Friendly and courteous staff Conflict resolution

South AfricaThe place was totally not what we expected to find. The staff was very incompetent, starting from the so-called receptionist who came to knock at our door disrespectfully on the day of our check-out. Furthermore, on our second day at the place to our surprise the place had requested for maintenance people to come and do a ceiling job in some apartments including the one that was currently occupied by us! Mind you that I have got a sinus infection. There was no sort of communication for this inconvenience because it seems like these people don't rate or have any form of respect for their guests! Moving on, to how filthy the 'Luxury' apartment was on the day of our arrival and the amount of appliances such as, the air conditioner, geyser monitor, TV, etc. which were were outdated and most of them did not even work. There was no cleaning equipment available in the apartment as well as no iron or hair dryer. This was the worst stay that I ever encountered as a genius 3 member of booking.com!
Only the wifi was satisfactory.

South AfricaFirstly they placed us in the wrong room. Upon complaining about how dirty it was and how several things were missing and broken, they offered the room initially assigned to us according to the agreement I signed. We started off on the wrong foot & everything just went downhill from there.
Their wifi is backed-up, as we had loadshedding however, no interrupted connection.
