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.).

United KingdomSome minor issues. The Wi-Fi info was wrong on the welcome pack, but we soon found the correct details. There was a mix up over the check in details, but that was quickly corrected with a call to the hosting company.
Very comfortable and clean, all the amenities we needed, and a great location.

United KingdomTook a while to figure out bedroom heater so we were cold on our first night but managed to sort for 2nd night. Couldn't connect to Internet at all despite resetting the router - it just wouldn't come up on list but it wasn't detrimental to our trip.
The apartment was a lovely size with all the amenities you could need. It had 2 bathrooms which we found useful! Very clean throughout- the town bedroom was also set up but we didn't use that. Balcony was a decent size for sitting out on and view was lovely. Lots of information left in apartment and clear instructions. Parking was great. Location was superb!! Right near centre of York for sightseeing.

SpainThe master bed was uncomfortable with the join in the middle of 2 beds being pushed together, very high and prominent you can feel the seams of the mattresses very hard, very rough and sore when laying on, easily solved with a mattress topper. That said, I would definitely stay there again.
The location of the apartment on the edge of Fossegate was brilliant for everything in York City Centre within minutes. The apartment had amazing amenities and the bedroom sizes were exceptionally large.

United KingdomHowever, the major downside was the uncomfortable mattress on the king-sized bed, which was full of lumps. Improving the mattress quality would greatly enhance the overall comfort and satisfaction of future guests.
Overall, our stay at the apartment was pleasant. The apartment had many positive aspects, such as its location, amenities, and cleanliness.

United StatesOne of the twin beds in the second bedroom had moldy sheets. The master bedroom bed was too soft and unsupportive of this heavy old man’s back. Airflow in the apartment was a bit of an issue despite relatively cool summer weather. The fans helped, as did keeping the windows open. But more airflow would have made our stay more comfortable.
The apartment was mostly quite clean, relatively large and well furnished for a short term rental. TVs in the master and in the living room. Nice couches in the living room. Pix on the walls. Nice dishes in the kitchen. A desk. Table and chairs in the dining area. Everything worked. A quiet spot. Nice little deck overlooking the river, though the river was loaded with Lilly pads or something. Not flowing.
