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.).

This apartment has a fabulous location within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants etc. Once in the apartment it is very peaceful and quiet with views over the river from the lovely balcony. Make sure you look out for Dixon's Yard when looking for the property, as this was an oversight on our part. We did however find the City Lets office and Kate went out of her way to show us exactly where the location was (2 minutes walk away). The parking space provided underneath the building was easy to find and very safe and secure (bay 32). Make sure to use the lift on the right hand side of the building, as there are 2 lifts and the left one goes to apartments 1 -14, and the right is for apartments 16 and above. The apartment was spacious, clean and modern. Tv with Netflix was easy to use. Hair dryer provided in the master bedroom. Full length mirrors in both bedrooms. Kitchen had plenty of crockery, utensils, washing up liquid, tablets provided for the dishwasher, tea towel and dish cloth + tea/coffee/milk sachets. Watch the smoke alarm - its very near the kitchen and sensitive. I used the toaster once and it went off, although there was no smoke and no burnt toast. Both bathrooms very clean, with one very soft hand towel, and big bath towel provided per person. Check the boiler when you arrive, it should be timed for twice daily. Unfortunately for us it was switched off, but soon rectified with a push of the button. We had lukewarm showers that morning but water was nice and hot after an hour or two. A great weekend stay, and ideal for our concert at The Barbican, only an 8 minute easy walk away. We will definitely book again, and thanks again to Kate who was extremely helpful.

SwitzerlandThe bed I had was a bit lumpy - it would be no problem for 2/3 nights but we stayed longer so it became a bit or an issue as time went on.
The location was fantastic - only a 3 minute walk to the city centre shops and cafés. Very quiet, very well-equipped, clean, big and comfortable and heated towel rails.

United KingdomMinor gripe, and applies to almost every hotel or apartment we've stayed in - hooks on bathroom doors to hang your towel or clothes would be super useful!
After being upgraded to a different property ( 23 Woodsmill quay) as there was a problem with this one when we arrived, we were really happy with the property we were given. Super helpful lady from the letting agency, perfect location on the river, spotless, huge comfy bed, everything we needed, shame we didnt book for longer!
