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.).

GermanyDoor hinges are a bit loud, so light sleepers might wake up if someone leaves their room at night. It's not very soundproof so you can hear through other rooms. We didn't have stable hot water on the first night. This was quickly solved after communicating with the staff, but I later learned that the fix didn't work for one of the bathrooms.
Very nice and spacious apartment in great location! Communication with the team works wonderfully: they are available via messaging and the reception is in the building, so they can quickly answer questions and help with anything we needed.

CroatiaIn the process of booking the apartment, you don’t really know which apartment exactly are you going to get, there is a lot of photos of different apartments of the same establishment, and to be honest, the photos look a lot better than the apartment itself, when we saw it in live. Our apartment specifically was smaller than we expected. Truth to be told, the entrance to the apartment is quite ugly and old, there are actual holes in the floor and tiling is a disaster. Living room is old but nicely decorated and rooms are ok, although one room was a bit small, but that is ok. Toilets are renovated I guess, and they look nice. Unfortunately I expected more in general.
Location is amazing. Apartment was really clean, bed was comfortable and sheets were smelling nice and fresh. Apartment is well equipped, so you don’t even need to bring your toothbrush and toothpaste. Staff is ok and communication was solid. Apartment in general is old, but the effort is invested to make it look “vintage cute”.

SwitzerlandNoise, lack of insulation and disregard for quiet hours that management does have in place.
Good Location, nearby restaurants but up from old town area that is much busier. Beds comfortable, Bathrooms updated and had good water pressure. Building had lift. The building is older though apartments update the insulation has not been. Recommend carpets perhaps as Quiets Hours are not really respected by others Management did offer a bit of compensation to us for the noisy neighbors during our stay….

United StatesBecause of the prime location and bars in the vicinity it was very loud throughout the night and into the morning. The sound of boisterous laughter, loud conversations, glass bottles clanking while being dumped into the bins constantly throughout the night was insesant. To end it all, the restocking truck arrives at nearly 4am unloading what seems like endless kegs of beer, cases of wine and other beverages as well as limitless amounts of various supplies to all the shops in the vicinity. Don't expect to get soundless sleep.
The apartment was conveniently within walking distance of several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, plenty of dining, shopping and grocery needs. Our flat was situated in the corner of an intersection with nice views from the balcony.

United KingdomNo one was there to meet us. Parking was inconvenient. Then they had an elaborate system by which to enter one building to gain access to a lock box to access the apartment in another building. The facilities were not as advertised. No sofa bed was made up and the room smelt mouldy and dusty. We would not recommend this property.
Nothing. The property was not suitable and we made this clear at the time. They were not available to help with the problems we faced.

AustraliaThe reception keep emailing & messaging me for early payment with online check in and charged a very large cleaning fee Also required a $500 Euro bond on the credit card. Also gave us the wrong information about storing luggage after checking out on a Sunday as the downstairs concierge we found to be closed on the weekend. It took several phone calls to discover the reception was open on the 3rd floor and could take our luggage. The security safe was locked and unusable
The old fashioned style of the apartment, everything worked well

United StatesThe first apartment (called Vintage) was tiny and not at all like the one we had seen advertised. When we asked if there was another apt we were told no they were fully booked and said that Booking.com was the culprit as they use different photos. There is a bottle bank right below the window so even with windows and doors shut you could hear the smashing of glass regularly day and night! At about 12 am on our first night a gang of teens gathered in the lobby screaming and laughing-they then moved the party to the apt next to ours. Despite calling the help number we got no support in fact we were told that apt was empty! Obviously we got no sleep until the noise died down in the early hours of morning. In the morning we called Booking.com and they contacted the manager-first she said there were no complaints in that building and that they had a "mechanical device" which would alert them to high noise levels. Luckily we had recorded the noise outside the apt so when we sent the recording they agreed to move us to the apt we had originally booked which was in an adjacent building, the manager who arranged this was a different one from whom we dealt with initially and we found her to be really understanding and helpful. The new apartment was very nice and we enjoyed the rest of our stay. Kind Regards, Rhonda Latif

United StatesWe waited 2 hours for room. They kept changing the time.Were charged E40.00 extra dollars for our private taxi E220.00 they said he couldn't wait past 1pm. The taxi driver said he only waited 30 minutes and I told them arrival @ 10 am go through customs, get luggage should be ready by 12noon. The checkin and Apts building are different . You only get one key for the main doors which were very heavy and oy 1 side opened. And you had to literally step over a 12 inch step while trying to lift your luggage AND open the large heavy wood door. The location was great but noisy.
Location was great !! Staff kept in constant touch with us till as we had asked for early check in and to be picked up at the airport at 12noon ( arriving @10am).
