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 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.).

United KingdomNothing really although our apartment had nothing on the walls. Given the numerous lovely places in Helsinki a picture or two would have made the apartment more homely.
Our large studio was as described. Compact and efficient design it worked very well. It had a well equipped kitchen, the apartment was very clean and three windows made it bright The two single beds were very comfortable. Nice sofa, big TV A real bonus was the laundry room and drying room (both free). Quiet location about 5 mins walk to tram stop and 15 to main train station and around 10 minutes to Senate Square. A few stores not far away.. Good speedy response to a question via messaging. Always a little nervous about places with no reception but check in instructions were on time, thorough and precise so all went smoothly.

PolandWe have lived on the low first floor (not a ground floor) just above an entrance where the ashtray is located. Smoke from the cigarettes was entering the room quite frequently when the windows were open. If you are very sensitive to the smoke, you may consider asking for a room on the side of the yard and not a street Kristianinkatu. During such a long stays as ours (4 weeks) it would be really convenient if some additional shelves were available in the bathroom and some drawers in the room.
Apartment is furnished with basic, but rather new, well designed and maintained furniture (but for lack of drawers). Kitchenette was well equipped and all appliances (oven, dishwasher, fridge, washing machine) were working properly. It was very clean when we moved in (but for some leftovers of the fur of some previous non-human tenants which were difficult to get rid of), so were the corridors and common spaces. The staff immediately responded to any inquires we had. We have selected Forenom in Kruununhaka as we love the neighbourhood, so from our perspective the localization was perfect.

SerbiaI wanted to leave luggage in the luggage storage after check out. Did everything as instructed, but the given code didn't work. I first messaged, and then called about it (twice!), but the staff couldn't help me - essentially, they had no idea what was going on. I found a maintenance person on the spot, who confirmed that codes didn't work. I spent over two hours in the corridor, trying to fix this. All in all, access codes are good, until they stop working. Then you're stuck, because staff is available only by phone, and they are not of much use. I see in Booking reviews that other guests also had problems with access codes.
Clean, functional, well equipped kitchen, good location.

FinlandThe only minus of the apartment was that it didn't have any storage place at all, and we stayed a whole month. The other thing was the beginning as the door code we got didn't work, and we arrived after midnight. It was freezing cold and the kids were tired and cold. Luckily the taxi driver waited for us to get in, and in the end he drove us to the other apartment nearby that we got from Forenom for that first night. So a poor beginning, but after that all went well and we really enjoyed our stay.
The location was great and we love the old buildings, the apartment nice and tidy and had all the necessary necessities for our family (nice beds, good tv, well working kitchen, washing machine and dish washer etc.). It was also easy to get in touch with Forenom when we needed to, and that's a big plus.

United KingdomThe matress and duvets are singles (placed together), so it's not the most confortable arrangement for couples. The windows could do with an upgrade (they are a bit draughty); the sofa is close to the windows and felt a bit cold when sitting there (admittedly it was extremely cold outside).
Nice appartment close to the city centre. It would normally be a nice walk (not so much in the winter at -20 C). The access code makes the check-in process extremely simple and there are two supermarkets a few hundred meters away to stock up if needed. The bed was confortable and everything was tidy and clean when we arrived.

BelgiumI think you need to change the cleaners, because the dishes were all dirty, the bodies couldn't drink water under the bed, there were beer bottles, dirty towels. And the departure time was almost 20 minutes away and the employee was already knocking on the door wanting to come in and didn't even wait, super rude.
