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 KingdomWould have been nice to have a few teabags and milk to have a brew when we arrived. Also a few sachets of shower gel and hair shampoo would have been appreciated.
Great location and very attractive contemporary accommodation. Comfortable bed . Well equipped kitchen area. Easy access via key locker. Books to browse in the apartment. View of the Meare and the lovely sunset from the balcony. Thoughtful touches such as outdoor chair cushions which sadly we were unable to use due to poor weather.

United KingdomAlthough allocated parking, it would be nice to have the information regarding the location in front of Thorpeness Emporium Antique Shop marked from 1 - ? . No 1 being the allocated slot.
Lovely clean, modern apartment with a comfortable bed and adequately equipped kitchen, modern cooker, microwave and clothes storage area. Lovely views from the balcony of The Mere with The House in The Clouds and Windmill in the distance.

United KingdomClearer instructions about the parking space before arrival would have been helpful as it is labelled with the apartment number rather than the name (which was all we'd been given). One of the heaters wasn't working but when I called the company were very quick to provide electric heaters which kept it nice and warm so it wasn't an issue.
A really clean and comfortable apartment. Although only fitted with a kitchenette the addition of a convection oven makes it perfectly adequate for a few days stay and it was well equipped. Great location with views over the lake and close to the beach.

United KingdomThe guest instructions for the running of the apartment need to be rewritten and printed. We could not activate the hob, as the written instructions to the guests were inadequate. Breakfast had to be bought from nearby. The television instructions were also incomprehensible even to the two maintenance people who tried unsuccessfully to help us. The wifi instructions were on a torn piece of paper that was so folded amongst other papers and was difficult to be found. The earliest arrival time of 4 pm does seem rather late in the day, this has not been our experience with other properties, a well-travelled couple.
The location was excellent, the flat was clean and well-designed.
