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 KingdomThe listing on booking.com said that there was a sitting room and tumble dryer, there wasn't. The kettle element was black and made the apartment smell of burning when switched on, this was replaced on my final night. There wasn't much cooking equipment (no baking trays). There was no fire blanket or fire extinguisher in the property. The gas went off during the night and the apartment was cold the following day, when I complained the staff asked me to go into another room and put the emergency credit on. When another guest moved into that room they knocked the boiler off because of the noise and the property became very cold because the windows had draughts. Everyday I noticed more and more sores on my arms and legs which I was later told were bite marks. There was nowhere to sit apart from the bed and the property was dirty throughout. The bedroom stunk of cigarettes.
The location was excellent, extremely close to the metro station.

United Kingdomrooms were dirty, walls felt like they were about to fall over, the ‘cleaner’ from down stairs broke into the house through the back door without permission made her way up to the top floor and then was told to leave which she then grabbed a bag and walked out. one last thing I want to make sure not to miss out is the fact that on the photos of the property there was a sitting room however there was no sitting room which in my opinion is clear false advertising.

United KingdomThe whole place stunk! Filthy spoke to the people who rent it out. Not helpful in the slightest if you want to live like a pig and in a sty then this is the place for you! Building falling apart, traffic could be heard so loud dont expect even one nights sleep. Drunks in the building and people takin drugs on the landing! Bed is the worst ive slept in springs popping and banging digs in back. Expect to be woken up through the night and in the mornings. Cleaners don't clean it properly and bang on the door before your even due to leave! Never ever would i stay here not even if it was free!
Nothing! Whoever owns the building doesnt care about it! Massive draft through single paned windows bathroom floor had alsorts all over it!

United KingdomWhen I arrived I was given the number to the door and ended up half a mile up the road so had to phone them a few times telling them that am knocking on the front door and no is here to answer me . Then got a texts message saying am at the wrong door and should go to number 28 . I was not given the number of the door wen I made my bookings . Then wen I got to the Wright door it had a combination locking that I couldn't open took me about 10 attempts to open finally wen I managed to open up the front door to get inside the room that am I'm has a combination lock as well and couldn't get in for a while till someone who was staying there helped me to open my room door . Room not been vacuum carpets full of gravels and bits and dirty bed was very uncomfortable to sleep on . Never will stay there again .
Nothing about the place at all very noisy on a main busy road. Loads if traffic noise

United KingdomThe check in system was appalling. I had no phone call from the place (as promised) to give me more information and so I arrived at the postcode with no idea which number house to go. After numerous phone calls I waited an hour for a whatsapp message and was given a code to enter the building. I was then given the wrong room number and walked in on a couple. The shared bathroom was not somewhere you’d want to take a shower or bath. The shared kitchen wasn’t much better. My TV didn’t work. I don’t think it met H&S regulations - doors were not fire doors and didn’t even have a latch to close unless locked. It was all a bit grim. I expected simplicity due to the budget but it was poor even in the light of the price.
It was close to a metro station. It was low cost and I had a comfortable sleep.
