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.).

IndonesiaThere is kitchen but we were not allowed to cook fish or meat. Cook rice only. In the description there was washing machine, but in reality, it was not accessible to guest. We were offered laundry with a price that we thought a bit pricey.
This apartment is close to main tourist area. Easy to reach and no hilly street. So elderly and people with small children can comfortably stay here. The host is waiting outside so no problem. We were also allowed to check in earlier. Btw, whoever done the cleaning, she should be given top salary. The apartment was super clean every where.

United KingdomThe traffic was horrendous at peak times during rush hour. I would highly recommend anyone staying in this area to book an early cab at least an hour or two earlier than usual. We just managed to catch our flight thanks to our amazing cab driver.
The location was perfect for visiting the sights. The main Mosques were five minutes away on foot. Plenty of restaurants and cafes. Reasonably quiet at night. Good air conditioning. Kitchen was good as was the bathroom. The host Fehmi was really polite, friendly and helpful especially when our cab was late. He spoke on our behalf to the cab driver on the phone as he had got lost in the traffic and was late.

RomaniaThe bathroom is tiiiiny. That's probably one of the biggest downsides. One day a bad odor came from the kitchen sink. Not too bad, but a little bit unpleasant. The kitchen stove is old and rusty and needs to be replaced. Thankfully, there is a kettle. Not too well equipped. For example we didn't find an iron and there were only a few napkins available. The windows didn't seem to close perfectly. They let a little bit more noise inside than they should have. But I am perhaps a bit picky here. In the end, none of these downsides were too bad. As I said, we had a nice stay there.
First and foremost, the excellent location. That's mainly why I gave this location a high score. In just 150m or so, there is the Blue Mosque and the Hippodrome. Then there is Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi Palace. The bazaars are also around 1km away. We also found a restaurant/fast-food with good prices and good food called Razim in the area. There is also a minimarket just around the corner. Oh, and it's sufficiently far from the mosques' speakers. The father of the owner, Mr Fehmi, is a very nice person. He also reserved some parking spots for us right in front of the building for 6 euro per day. Overall, it was a nice stay.

United KingdomNot a complaint but modernization of property, especially the bathroom, would benefit it - this doesn't take away from the stay however. Perhaps a sign outside the property as it was initially a little difficult to find - again, not something that took away from the stay.
Fantastic location: enabled you to see all the sights of the golden horn by foot. Host was friendly and flexible regarding the check-out process. Having access to the terrace was a nice addition in the evenings.

property was clean and all the equipments were operational. the location was fantastic. it’s literally 2 mins away from SultanAhmet square. the owner is very professional and explained to us about everything. the heating was very good and after a tough day of roaming outside in rain or cold, the heating really took out the tiredness easily

CanadaA bit small, we were only two people, a brother and sister, and we felt it was a bit small. There wasn’t really a proper living room, per se. although the spacious bedroom could be used for that. I would’ve liked to have a frying pan to fry eggs in the morning, this may be simply a temporary minor issue that has already changed.
The beds were super comfortable. Very close to world heritage sites blue mosque, and Sophia mosque. Comfortably warm, excellent Wi-Fi. we felt safe. Both bedrooms were a good size with doors that locked. Our second level apartment had one bedroom with a large bed. The second bedroom had a twin bed with a sofa This bedroom also had the TV. The bathroom had a very spacious shower, and the on demand water heater provided constant warm water at just the right temperature for as long as you needed it.
