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.).

Everything. Andrea was extremely welcoming and every comfort had been provided for our stay. The apartment was spotlessly clean and well appointed. The bed was very comfortable and the garden was really pretty.

United KingdomIt is up a hill so you need to be fairly fit although bus goes from round the corner and is every 15 mins.
Lovely modern apartment with great view over the garden which is lit up at night. Once we'd parked the car we didn't use it again as we walked or took the bus everywhere.

United KingdomEverything was brilliant. A very kind welcome from a lovely host and was shown around and everything explained to me and then I was left to enjoy my stay. The property is immaculately clean. The apartments are massively spacious. Everything was considered for the guest including umbrellas., full cooking facilities, a book and DVD library and designated laundry. Short or long-term stays catered for. Great links to both train and bus. I would love to come back yet again. Thank you so much.

United KingdomThe shower was a little 'snug' but a personal point not a negative one.
Excellent apartment for a holiday. Short walk to the seafront, free parking, everything you would need to self cater is available and you are provided with refreshments to get you started - milk, juice, water, tea, coffee, sugar and some wonderful fresh eggs. Highly recommended if you're planning a stay 😊

United KingdomNot that I can think of. I can never fault anything!
The property was extremely clean and well-maintained. It is one of the best properties I have booked since arriving in the UK in 2017. From the moment we arrived, Andrea warmly welcomed us and even waited for us despite our delay. She went out of her way to give us a tour of the property. Although I live in Torquay, I stayed here to accompany a friend from Cambridge. We have visited other properties in the area for friends and family, but this one stands out as the best in terms of value for money.
