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.).

South AfricaI could only stand upright in a few places in the apartment. I am 1,86m tall - so not exceptionally tall. I think it should be stated in the advert that the apartment has a low roof in places. When we got to the apartment, we noticed that there were only 3 knives (we were 4 people). I contacted the host, who then brought another knife. Later the same evening we noticed that there were only 3 spoons as well. Such a basic thing...

United StatesMattress and blanket were both very thin. An upgrade to the bedding and mattress would make a huge difference in the quality of stay. Enjoyable stay aside from the stiff backs.
Great spot to explore everything on foot Coimbra has to offer. Close to cafes, groceries, and not a far walk to the university, botanical gardens and more. Very grateful for the air conditioner in the bedroom! Also grateful for the washing machine and dry rack. Thoughtful little kitchen with supplies we were able to cook from home our few nights there. Bedroom window has shutters so you can make it extra dark.

United KingdomAir Con was very noisy - and made weird noises for a long time after being switched off; so we weren’t too inclined to use it. Street outside is cobbled - so can be far from quiet. First night there were a lot of motorcycles clattering past until early hours.
Reasonably well situated to use as a base to explore Coimbra. Uphill and steps from Station and no lift. Not a problem for us - but be aware if there’s heavy bags to haul. There as an amusing moment when we opened the door to the apartment and could only find bathroom and kitchen. Door had blocked the entrance to the bedroom! This is an apartment to use as somewhere to eat and sleep as opposed to spending time in relaxing. That’s just fine if you’re planning on exploring Coimbra!

South AfricaSelf service checkin. We did struggle a few times to open the doors with the app. If you don’t have access to Internet, I am not sure how checkin would work. Not everybody has Internet on vacation. 3rd floor apartment, no lifts.
The location was good, close walk to the historical University. Close walk down to the riverside. The surrounding street was alive with live performances in the evening, it was so nice to go out and just walk about. Very nice and modern apartment. It jar everything we needed.

United StatesThe bed was pretty firm - not lumpy or anything, just a bit too firm. We could have used an easy chair, although space was limited so maybe not. Dishes and flatware had 2 of all eating utensils. That is a bit limited, but it worked out okay. I can understand that in some environments, that stuff walks and you get tired of replacing it.
I liked the fact that everything worked, the host was easy to reach if we needed help, that everything was beautifully clean and that there was a washing machine that worked well. If a kitchen is small, a washing machine beats a dishwasher hands down for convenience. Our host was very helpful with showing us on the map where things were. We appreciated that.

United KingdomThe sound travels easily between apartments, this was my only negative from an otherwise very positive experience
Great location just 100m from the town centre with its many restaurants. Just the one night in Coimbra for us, en-route back from Porto to Lisbon, it is a nice little town, very scenic and plenty to see. The apartments are clearly brand new and therefore are spotlessly clean. Ultra convenient for the centre of town and all it has to offer, parking just down the road in the car park at just 9€ for 24H. The owner was there to meet us to show us in and explain the APP controlled door locks (nice touch, new to me). The apartment has everything you need for a short stay, clean and well presented, AC, hot water a plenty. Functional little apartments perfectly suited to short stays. Excellent value for money

Belgium(Just minor details: The view from the top apartment is very nice but only visible when you step close to the window. Under the roof you often have to watch your head and/or choose the right side of the bed and table :-))
The upper apartment is very clean and nicely renovated with a modern kitchen and airco, great beds and quiet. The location is right in the middle of some of the most important things to visit (and comes with a steep but rather short climb). Very friendly and hospitable welcome and everything you need on your first day is available. Paid parking quite close, and free indoor parking at 1,2km (Convent San Francisco).

United StatesThis isn’t a negative, but rather an FYI… While you can drive up to the apartment to unload your bags, you cannot drive father and you’ll need to turn around and go back to either park on the street with the paid meter or in the close Mercado parking lot.
The apartment was well appointed, clean, and walking distance to all of the old town. The communication was excellent and prompt! Would highly recommend a stay here!

IsraelThe place is relatively small, the kitchen is not well equipped, the water heater catches a lot of space in the kitchen such that the utensils were placed under the TV. Also the kitchen is very small such that you cannot plug more than one appliance at the time. Lack of some of the basic amenities (not enough dish soap, no sugar, etc). The A/C is very noisy and kept me up at night as the noise goes off every 30 seconds (and when it is 40 degrees in Coimbra you definitely need it). The host said is it due to the evacuation pump or in other words there was nothing to do about it. In one of the apartments the shower's door was mounted in the wrong way such that getting in and out was a nightmare. The place is not very functional overall. The check in was cumbersome as need to fill in the full details of all attendees via a Google form (including all passport details), and so was the check out as we were asked to leave cash (and only cash) for the tourist tax. Overall a disappointing stay especially when put in relation to the expensive price of the night
The apartment is very well located not far from the university and the Praça do Comercio. Beds were relatively comfortable and the air conditioning worked well

location is excellent between the main tourist area and the old town and college. First impression of the apartment was poor but we discovered everything we needed was there. Kitchen well equipped and knifes sharp. Good bed and clean.
