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 AfricaBedroom felt claustrophobic as it was located in middle of apartment, no outside windows
Beautiful self catering apartment with adequately equipped kitchen, spacious lounge and decent outside balcony and air-conditioned. Well equipped for self-catering stay although lacked some home touches. Well situated and easy access parking. Coffee shop nearby for light breakfast.

South AfricaGetting the keys and checking in was a challenge. The phone numbers provided did not connect to the correct reception desk. I had to phone the number about 4 times before I was finally connected correctly.
Super location. The apartment is in a surprisingly quiet location! I expected more noise from Somerset Road and surrounding businesses.

SpainSeveral issues with our room and poor service to solve them. They advertise two bathrooms but one is inside a bedroom and the second one has bathtub but no shower, making it impossible to shower there (water only comes out from bathtub knob, no shower "tube"). The door of one of the bedrooms didn't close (too big and didn't fit in the frame), and that same bedroom gave onto a generator which was noisy. One of my friends had to work and WiFi was not working for 2 days, we had to insist so much to get it fixed before it worked again. When we arrived seems the flat hadn't been properly cleaned (my friend found some hair in their bathroom sink).
Location is great, very central, close to some shops and short drive from main areas (V&A waterfront, Bo Kaap, Clifton bay and table mountain). Area is safe and the biggest bonus is the free parking. Apartment is well furnished and modern. Good price Vs other options in Cape town.

South AfricaThe 3 pot plants on the balcony was neglected. It looked like they weren’t watered or pruned at all. Such a pity as that would have just uplifted the area & make one appreciate it even more. Such a pity & remember plants are living creatures & needs constant caring. The shower drain was completely clogged up & that is due to poor maintenance & cleaning. When we arrived the bathroom bin was not emptied out which also speaks of the cleaning. There’s a small 2 seater couch with metal framing in the unit which was not comfortable at all. Also the one bedside lamp wasn’t working… again maintenance.
Loved the balcony as the apartment itself was very small so the fact that I could benefit from some fresh air & breathe a little & not feel so restricted in the small space was lovely. The table & four chairs on the balcony made our stay more enjoyable as we enjoyed our meals outside & was much appreciated. The location was very central and loved the fact that we enjoyed secured parking.

Hong KongThe bed and bedding were not very comfortable. I am not very tall and my feet stuck out a bit over the edge, also, the duvet kept coming out of the cover. Lastly, the blinds don't block out all of the light and it got very bright in the mornings.
Great location, and a large space with a fully functional kitchen, including a full-size fridge, washing machine, microwave, stove and oven. The apartment is cleaned everyday.
