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.).

IrelandSome sockets weren’t working and there were exposed wires, as if electrical work was incomplete. The safe in the room wasn’t working.
Location was excellent. Apartment was easy to access, bright, spacious and clean. Staff responded quickly to any email queries.

NetherlandsDeposit (200€) was a bit of a suprise. And it was pretty noisy which we knew to expect but good to take into consideration.
The location was ideal for a short stay.

United KingdomNo air conditioning was the only thing we did not like. But we had a fan to compensate for this which did a job.
We thoroughly enjoyed the convenient location of the apartment, which was within walking distance of everything we needed. It was just a short walk to the river and close to all amenities, including a small supermarket down the street and a bakery around the corner. The apartment had a cosy atmosphere, although we found that it lacked air conditioning. The thoughtful gesture of providing us with a welcome Port and biscuits was much appreciated. We also felt secure with the front security door and the lockbox for our keys.

United KingdomThe problem transferring the money for the bond was problematic as my credit card was linked to my phone and I had changed my sim card and number. I had to rely upon my brother in England to pay otherwise I would not have been able to access the apartment and in which case they refused to refund the money.
Very spacious.

United KingdomThe apartment only had enough cutlery and plates etc for 2 which was a nuisance, especially as it has a sofa bed and advertises as can take up to 4. It had no teatowels, so we had to buy our own.
The apartment is a good size in a prime location. The apartment building is quiet. Getting in on arrival was so easy with a lock code so no matter when you arrive you can get in quickly. The apartment is clean and modern with high ceilings,which made it airy. It was 2 stand on balconies which were nice to sit beside in the evenings. The bed was comfortable and pillows etc seemed newish. Extra bedding provided and plenty of towels.

EstoniaIt's of course a bit noisy as located right next to main tourism traffic street, but that's normal. One cannot have only the benefits of a superb location. The inner courtyard was a bit smelly, so we did not use it much. The walls a bit thin, so it's nice if the neighbors are not too loud.
Perfect location in the old center not far from the beach. Very comfortable space. The host was very caring as they were issues upon arrival that were fixed very quickly. There is an extra deposit to leave (which I was not aware when booking), but that was paid back quickly after the trip without any fuss. All the necessary amenities for a short stay are there (but not for a longer stay like ours). The place was very clean. Alicante is charming, busy but not oppressing. Spain is very clean and very safe. We will come back.

HungaryWe were in Apartment 3. I would recommend the apartment and would return. The internal height of ceiling was a bit lower than what we’re used to, but we got used to it. I would return again.
The apartment is at the best possible location for a visit to Alicante. The Passeig de l’Esplanada (main walking street) is just 2-3 mins away, beach is 5 mins away. We were with 2 kids, they really enjoyed that they also can easily navigate themselves in the neighborhood.

United KingdomThere is no reception or personal meet and great so you are lleft tto sort any issues and alert owner by email. The process for paying the security deposit was frustrating and only resolved when we contacted booking.com. Rental agency kept referring us back to our bank when actual issue appeared to be about which of our cards had been authorised on the Booking.com site.
room was ready earlier than stated. Codes issued before arrival with no issues around collection.

United KingdomJust the shower didnt drain very fast, but the host said this was normal so apart from that no issues.
My experience with this apartment and the host was great. They were in constant contact from the time I booked until after checking out. They were super helpful when i had any questions or concerns, they were quick to respond and even gave us a different (and better) apartment when we had an issue at the original one with a blocked sink once we had arrived there. They were super helpful and kind throughout the whole visit. The apartment was perfectly located in the city centre. Everything from the beach, to the shops, grocery stores, local butchers, restaurants, Santa Barbara castle, the bus stop and tram lines and more was only a short walk away- 5-10 mins for most things. There was noise from outside in the town square from events and music due to the festive time period we went in, but my family and I really enjoyed hearing the hustle and bustle of locals and tourists so we didn’t mind. There was also a clock tower that chimed at every hour. Take ear plugs if you do mind the noise. The apartment building is located next to a confectionery shop so the entrance hallway/lobby always smells like fresh donuts, absolutely loved this. The apartment was stocked up with everything you need- sheets, towels, plates, cutlery, fridge/freezer, washing machine etc. We booked the apartment for 3 people, two of us shared the double bed and one had the sofa bed. The sofa bed was very spacious and comfortable. Much better than expected. Overall we really enjoyed the experience and would definitely choose this apartment and location again.
