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.).

United StatesTemperature got very cold the last night of our stay. We noticed it late, hosts had probably already slept by then.
Host was very friendly, the aesthetic of the apartment was nice. Location was near city center with lots of places to eat nearby. Good walkable area.

United KingdomBoth very minor as the place is really lovely. a) More places for towels in the bathrooms i.e. hooks b) Suit case stands as on a short stay you tend to live from your case.
Lovely big appartment, nice configuration and architecture. Great part of the city, wide cobled road, nice views. You can easily walk to the tourist buses and shops.

Clean, spacious apartment - perfect for our family of 4. Very bright and quiet. It was fantastic to have two full bathrooms and the apartment had everything we needed. Street parking was ample and easy. Location was nice - not too far away from all the popular attractions.

United KingdomThe main toilet was not flushing from the moment we arrived. I tried to call the number provided for such events but there was no reply so I left a message. It was rather inconvenient with 3 adults having to share the ensuite during the night. To be fair we were only there for 1 night. I didn't expect an immediate response but decided to leave a note for the host as we'd had no response during our stay. I still have had no apology or explanation but as I keep being asked for a review I decided I had to give an honest one.
The location is good. The property is amazing. It is a huge basement apartment with beautifully decorated and tastefully furnished rooms. We particularly appreciated the personal touches like fresh milk in the fridge (important after a long journey) and some shortbread in a jar.

GermanyEverything was perfect! Maybe just one proposal… a second sofa (the recent one is a bit small for 4).
Everything! :) It was the perfect place for a group of 4. The flat is HUGE (super comfy beds, nice bathrooms, modern kitchen with dining area and spacious living room). The flat is in a quiet street but just a short walk from the busy centre.

BermudaThe apartment was cold at times, especially the kitchen floor. Bring slippers! Was challenging to find a nearby convenience store for basic supplies. Since it’s a ground floor apartment you do hear upstairs noise at times.

United KingdomWe absolutely loved our stay - wouldn’t change anything!
Stunning apartment, so comfortable and really warm and cosy which we were surprised at being such an old building! Great location close enough to walk into the centre but very quiet on the road also. Beds were really comfortable and everywhere was spotless. Was even little extras like milk in the fridge and shortbreads on the side which was a nice touch. Would definitely stay again!

United KingdomAlthough the place was lovely, there was a few things I didn't like. First, we had no control over heating, and it was a little cold in the morning and at night. There was no drawer space in either bedroom, so we were just living out or cases. Hot water limited after 9pm which...although I understand...made it difficult for 4 people to have a shower at night. There was no forks in the kitchen, and was a broken cabinet door which kept swinging open. Just a few things that could be sorted.
We arrived after only a 10 minute walk from the train station. Apartment was beautiful. Very clean and spacious. It was well decorated. Location was great, only a 5 minute walk from Playhouse. Was very easy to check in and out with no problem. Would book here again.
