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.).

SpainThe apartment is located 20mins walk from the Golden Mile, so we were able to explore the city on foot. The equipment was perfect, we found everything we needed during our stay. Steven, our host, gave us the keys to access the flat and was very helpful in giving us initial directions to nearby supermarkets and points of interest in the city. We will definitely come back again when we return to Edinburgh.

Right around the corner from some terrific cafes, restaurants, and bars.

United KingdomIt's a steep hill into town but it was a good excuse to get my steps in, and there are many buses nearby if you don't want to walk.
Wonderful area with lovely shops and cafes, brilliant, communicative hosts, and lovely facilities. Extremely comfortable stay and would definitely stay again.

United KingdomThe main thing we didn’t like was we didn’t know there was building work going on very close to the apartment beforehand. That started very early. One morning trucks and cranes arrived at 6.30am and the pile drivers and reversing bleeps from the cranes etc started bang on 7am all three mornings we were there. We were out from the flat around 10am every day but it was very noisy in the living whilst we were there. The other thing was the sofa bed mattress which needed a refurb, you could feel every spring.
My friend met the host who gave her all the pertinent information, and the keys. A well organised flat, with excellent wifi connection. Very quiet at night (not so in the morning, see below for that!) Shower very good. Good fridge/freezer in Kitchen, lots of other things which we didn’t get around to using like washing machine etc. Well stocked with kit. Nice area.
