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 StatesI thought the only thing that could be better or updated was the couch option in the apartment. It was hard to sit on for 2 people and I stayed over the holidays so we wanted something cozy to relax in.
The apartments are great, nice size equipped with everything you need for a stay and the best location in leiden

United KingdomWe noted when we arrived that the cleaning had not been finished before our arrival. We notified our hosts and appreciated that the cleaning staff came back and offered to sort out whatever needed to be done but we had already done it ourselves. What impressed us was the fast response - it was quick and easy to contact the hosts, they replied very quickly and every effort was made to rectify the issue.
We loved everything about our apartment at Pakasa! After nearly two weeks, it felt almost like home and we were sad to leave. The apartment is just as in the photos - beautifully furnished with everything to a very high quality. The beds were extremely comfortable - so much so, we made a note of the brand of mattress for the next time we need to buy a new bed. Shower was superb. Washing machine was very handy to have. We liked the apartment so much, we may consider applying for a longer stay when we're ready to move to Leiden later this year, to use as our base while we look for a house to buy.

United KingdomThe bed is two single mattresses held together, so you do need to avoid slipping down the crack in the middle. There is car parking but it is a high fee every day which adds up fast, and honestly, we didn't miss having a car - unless you have mobility issues I'd recommend walking and using public transport, or hiring a bike.
Great location in the heart of the historic part of the city, very easy to explore, and 20 minutes walk from the train station for seeing further afield into Amsterdam and beyond. Very cosy and well equipped. Literally a stone's throw from Leiden Christmas market too if you're there in mid-December, and five minutes from a supermarket for stocking up on essentials. Excellent bonus to have our own washer dryer in the apartment and a dishwasher so we didn't have to worry about doing dishes on holiday. The shower is spacious enough for two, and the sofa was so comfortable we kept falling asleep on it! WiFi worked perfectly, and the information on how to use appliances was very informative and appreciated. We were also gifted a set of three LED candles for Christmas on our check-out day which was a lovely surprise!

United KingdomThe washing machine did not work properly, it did not drain water so everything was still soaked and dripping after the complete run.
Great location and the overall comfort of the apartment. It also has a very well equipped kitchen for self catering and a lovely terrace by the canal. I would highly recommend this place.
