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.).

LatviaThe fact that a lot of things were worn off /not working, for example, coffee maker. The biggest problem was bugs - in the kitchen area, cockroaches were crawling out of behind the electric sockets, and in the bathroom, there were gigantic roaches crawling out of under the shower pad. If you are a bigger group of people, in the kitchen you have only one tea cup to share. The info page in the flat wasn't updated, so we had a misunderstanding about leaving time.
Location and size of the flat was very good.

United KingdomThe photo of the flat was not the flat I stayed in. You need a flashlight to go up and down the entrance stairs of the building. A motion detector light goes on in the foyer, but there are no lights going up the stairwell. During the day it is fine as the windows give light. In the entrance to the apartments, there is a motion detector light and one at the top of the stairs to the 2nd apt.
The location is excellent at Serdika for places of interest, tram and Metro. Clean, quiet area, basic. Flat is warm, it was very cold when I stayed there.

United KingdomBuilding itself is too old, no elevator so need to walk 6 floors which can be hard for elderly or people with knee problems. Two apartments are like duplex and they are renovated but upper one is axtension and it is getting too hot specially in the summer time this can make it hard to stay inside.
Size of apartaments and rooms are good specially for large families looking for plenty of space, both apartaments using same entrance is good. Close to the center so can walk to enjoy city center or take public transport to go near areas.

United KingdomThe flat is in on the 5th floor with no lift, so if anyone doesn't like stairs that'd be the only downside. Oh, and get your toiletries.
I really liked everything. Both me and my friend. Everything you need is locally at the lidl across the street. The flat is modern, in a lovely location, great sunlight, easy to get to local transport. Close to all sightseeing gathering spots. Truly a beautiful and lovely flat for a bargain price.

United KingdomThe apartments are situated on the top floors, which is great, with lovely views but only accessible by stairs, as stated in the listing. Travellers should be aware that there are a lot of stairs to navigate (I think we counted 93 to the first flat then a few more to the one above), so think about the size of luggage you will be travelling with. It's not a problem but is an important factor to consider if anyone has mobility issues. Also, the showers were great but we had some issues with flooding because of the design.
The apartments are in an excellent location for tourists with all the main attractions and sites of interest within easy walking distance. The accommodation was as described in the listing. The bedlinen and towels were very clean and fresh and the apartments are modern, spacious, bright, comfortable and airy. There is a Lidl just a minute away and a fabulous coffee shop, the Altruist cafe, just opposite.

GreeceWe had a really bad time with a lot of cockroaches appearing on the beds, at the kitchen, at the bathroom, on the floor all over the apartment. The owner wasn't willing to help us with that. He told us the only thing he could do is to come the next morning for disinfection. When we asked for a refund of money (since the very next morning we totally left the apartment), he didn't accept. Replying to the Booking company the owner lied, claiming that when he went to the apartment he didn't find any cockroaches.... while the kitchens' dustbin was full of 7 baby cockroaches killed by us the previous night.
The location was good
