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 have mobility issues so walking up stairs is my only dislike but it's only one flight and not a big deal really.
The location was very central and in a nice neighborhood. A great market was 5 minutes away as well as coffee shops and restaurants. There was a park across the street and the city bus had a stop right in front.

CanadaI recommend this apartment, it was awesome for us. 5 adults, 2 bedrooms and a sofa bed. 3 bathrooms, how cool is that! The apartment was super clean and modern. We were able to leave our luggage an 1hr prior to check in, the host met us at the apartment. Great location, about a 10 min walk from Sao Bento. The host was amazing, she always answered my millions questions (used What's app). Grocery store accross the street which was convenient. Also, if you do have a rental car, there is a public parking at 12 euros/24hrs, it's located a minute walk from the apartment. I would definately go back next time I am in Porto!

United KingdomSome of the plug sockets and TV fixing were loose or coming out of the wall. Had to be very careful with the hot water taps as the temperature could get way too hot and burn you.
Great location only a short walk to city centre and very handy for buses and Metro. Jose met us on arrival and was very helpful.

United KingdomWe were a bit concerned the TV was not securely attached to the wall and so had to block it off from our infant.
The location couldn't be better. The apartment and building were well presented and equipped with everything we needed. Good correspondence with host and quick to resolve a small issue we had. Take note that if you are traveling with an infant and are intending to use the free car transfer included with booking.com you need to request a car seat as they won't be able to take you otherwise.

United KingdomThe bathroom is a little small for the size of the apartment and number of people, there is an ensuite to one of the bedrooms so this helps. Certain things are well used so there are some very minor repairs that are required such as the shower riser rail, some of the kitchen drawers etc. Nothing at all that would put you off from staying here but would be great if fixed as can be annoying.
This apartment is in a great location, just at the top of town. Its a relatively quiet area but plenty of coffee shops and restaurants nearby plus a supermarket across the square. The building has been restored to a very high standard and the decor and style is very pleasant. We had the top floor apartment with the front balcony which was superb, lots of room for a large family and a very fresh and bright feel to the place. Many routes to walk back from the river to the apartment and you get to see everything and find something new everyday. There is a bus stop right outside and you can get to the beaches (Matosinhos and Foz do Douro) very easily and directly.

United StatesWe were fortunate enough to stay at the Casa Amarela during the New Year celebrations in Porto. When I booked the apartment, I had no idea that the festivities happen in the square that the house is located on. We had the best views of the celebration and fireworks! The owners are very nice and checking in was very smooth. The house is just outside of the super touristy parts of Porto, but everything is within walking (or climbing) distance.

United StatesLOUD! If you get a room facing the Square it's nonstop motorcycles, food delivery scooters and fast loud cars. And the rooms facing the Square will be unbelievably hot in the summer. Like a pizza oven! I would recommend getting a room on the northside of the location away from the noise and blazing summer sun.
Friendly and professional hosts. Excellent location if you want to be 10 to 15 minutes walk from everywhere without being in the crazy tourist zone. Some non-touristy local eateries within minutes. Washing machine works great! If I came back it'd be in better weather and I'd get a room away from the busy loud road.

LuxembourgThe only downside (and this is not the property's fault in any way) was that the upstairs guests were very loud and they found it necessary to move furniture around and train at late hours in the evening. Also, I wouldn't use the 2 frying pans as they looked scratched and therefore unsafe to cook in. I just used the wok which was fine.
This property is a little gem I'm glad I found. It is located very close to the center, in a safe area, 5 minutes walk from Trinidad metro station and about 10 minutes walk to Lello Library. I had a self late check in, which was with no issues. The apartment is very tastefully renovated, modern, elegant and had everything I wanted for my holiday. The apartment was spotless, no pipes noises as previous reviews said, everything working properly. The property managers were very responsive to my messages throughout my stay.
