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.).

BelgiumLike other reviews mention: the heating is a disaster. They fixed this with small mobile heaters which works great for the living room and bed room, but there is no decent heating in the bathroom. Making it very cold. It also looks bigger in the pictures than it is. So for 2 it works, but I wouldn't rent it for 4 people. If they would do something about the bathroom heating it would be good!
The location was good and it had all the facilities you need.

United KingdomInitial inadequate advertising. Even when told our specific ages, 82 and 78, was nowhere informed the apt.was up 6 flights of stairs With walking stick and two sets of luggage each. I would have cancelled if known. Inadequate heating. And where was the requested bedding for the sofa bed? Mean minded provision in bathroom and kitchen. Looked like a student flat, with scant consideration for others. Best I can say is - it was like the curate's egg, I am a retired lecturer, so not being prejudiced, just wish young people would have more respect for others, whatever their age. Patronising is even worse. Still we are all short of money. The need for it can do terrible things to basically decent intelligent people.
The views and proximity to central Oxford.

Netherlandsif you would like to stay with 4 people this apartment would be very small. The dining table is tucked in a tight corner. Also 2 of the dining chairs have unmatched legs in length.
Great location very near train station and city centre. The apartment is nice with a large bathroom and a nice sitting room with a sofa.

United KingdomWe found trying adjust the temperature of the modern electric shower was difficult. I think this was due to low water pressure whilst we were there, but I have my suspicions this is always going to be a problem. Tv reception is poor although some channels are available on the internet. The apartment was adequate for the two of us but I definitely wouldn’t recommend for four. The wall vent in the bedroom didn’t work. One of the dining chairs has a short leg. Some of the double glazed windows are shot and need replacing. The checking in times seem deliberately poor with the option of paying an extra £15 for each hour to extend. This to me is like budget airlines trying to get more money out of you. I’ve noticed this elsewhere on Booking.com.
Great location, easy walk from the station and the city centre. Lovely and quiet with no traffic noise. Balcony is a real plus in good weather with outside furniture. Well appointed kitchen although a bit small. No problem with the access although it involves eight flights of stairs to get to the fourth floor.

AustraliaThe spaces, apart from the bathroom, are not large but adequate for a couple. The bed could be improved. The apartment is on the fourth floor so might be challenging if travelling with heavy bags - but this was not a problem for us.
The apartment is clean and conveniently located with a short walk to the Westgate shopping centre and the city centre, Bodlian Library etc. The kitchen is well equipped for simple meals, the shower is good, and it was helpful to have a washing machine.

United StatesI booked for FOUR people, there was bedding and towels for two supplied. One couple first night had no sheets or towels - VERY POOR SERVICE. The toilet only intermittent flushes correctly. We had to use a bucket to flush it properly - very distressing for the ladies in the group. Not the expected standard for the price paid.
Location, furniture, cleanliness.

United KingdomThe property was very cold to the point we had to sleep with our coats on. One heater didn’t work and the heater in the hallway doesn’t heat the living room or bedroom. The shower was very sparse with water so again, with no heating in the bathroom we felt cold. There was only one thin blanket for an extra layer for 4 guests.
Close to centre with good selection of rooms

BelgiumDuring the entire trip the hosts were rather unfriendly and not easily reachable. They would only message via whatsapp for the full duration and never pick up their phones to explain what is needed. The booking.com description is very different, e.g. they say check in at 4 (booking said 3). We paid for 4 people but sofa bed was not made and linnen was hidden somewhere so I had to contact them. Completely not worth the price with terrible customer serivce, surprised they had such a high rating previously - overall will not be staying here again!
The hosts did send a detailed message that described some elements needed
