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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesOur "private" toilet was located outside our room, at the top of the stairs. At night, I felt exposed to leave our bedroom and go into a stairway where anyone walking by could look in the window and see me in my underwear.
The shower is sumptuous and the bed quite comfortable. Our host, Francis was very accommodating and allowed us to leave our luggage prior to check-in. He also allowed us to use the washer and dryer located on the ground floor of the building

United KingdomWe were confused on arrival as to which room was ours, but owner answered phone despite very late arrival.
Beautiful property, lovely location. Really airy beautiful room. Toilet is outside of room on same floor, but no other guests so was still very private. Easy walking to the centre of town and lovely quiet area. Easy access although rooms could be labelled more clearly for late night arrival! Owner was responsive and incredibly helpful and gracious.

CanadaNo suggestions for improvement. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
Bright, spacious, attractive room and bathroom. Big windows! Host Francis was welcoming, and told me when they renovated the guest rooms they invested in good beds and showers. Boy, he wasn’t kidding. (And I was reminded about how much better both were when I moved on to my next stay at a well known hotel chain.). Bed linens are lovely and towels are plush. Pillows comfortable. The soaps gifted by Francis were really nice, and of course I packed my slightly used bars home with me. They’ll last for some time, and each time I use them I’ll remember my stay at APL8 and Brugge. The complimentary in-room coffee provided was good quality. And while, of course, there is a charge for the mini-bar beverages, his are very reasonably priced. The location of APL8 was an unexpected good surprise. I might not have found my way to the (NOT touristy!) Sint Anna neighbourhood if I hadn’t stayed here. I woke up to quiet and hearing birds cooo each morning. Waking up at and ‘coming home’ to there turned out to be a favourite part of my stay in Brugge. Plus it was a very pleasant, scenic 10 minute stroll to the market square. When I asked Francis for his restaurant recs, he offered me his list. So helpful. I ate dinner at 3 of them and each was different- all good food and comfortable ambience.

United KingdomSlightly bigger bath towels would have been nice, but otherwise everything was great.
The B&B is in a beautiful, quiet square a short walking distance from the centre of town. My room was spacious and well furnished, with all the facilities you could need. The bed was big and comfy, if a little on the soft side. The bathroom was clean with an excellent shower, and the free hand made cosmetics were a nice touch. Complimentary hot drinks, a fridge and smart TV provided lots of home comforts. The host, Francis, was very welcoming and pre arrival info/communication was great.

United KingdomThere was no door on the toilet. We hated this! Bed sheet was subtlety stained. We couldn’t get the heating to switch on. There was a noise like a fan for 30 seconds every 5 minutes 24/7 There was noise & conversation in the hallway when we in bed late at night. The cleaner woke us up at 8.30 hoovering the hallway.
Black out curtains were really good but the absence of a door let all the light in through the toilet. Bed was comfortable. Toiletries were beautiful. Host was friendly & helpful.
