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 KingdomI noticed when I came in that it was a bit dusty on the floor and under the sofas etc. But other than that it was pretty clean, I'm just really observant!
We loved the apartment, very spacious and gorgeous furniture and decoration. It's in a fantastic location and there is a car park not far from the apartment which is handy, it's in the main strip of shops and restaurants and I would recommend the restaurants as they are good!

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything we didn’t like, maybe new mattresses for the single beds, they were a little uncomfortable for our friends.
The location is great, close to amenities and about a 25 min walk from the railway station. It was lovely inside the apartment exceptionally clean and comfortable with the most beautiful harbour views. The shower was excellent and the double bed very comfortable. We had everything we needed for the 2 nights we were there. We would love to come back.

United KingdomThe entrance-way to the property felt like breaking into a bank. Lots of bars and gates and quite a faff, but I do understand why it's all there. Honestly it works quite well because after all that security, when you see the apartment it just adds to the wow factor.
What a fantastic place! The apartment is bright and ENORMOUS. Amazingly, despite its incredible location literally above a row of shops and bars and restaurants, there wasn't a peep all night (and on a Friday)! Getting keys was very, very easy. Two toilets was brilliant. Bed was SO comfy. Shower was AWESOME. Wouldn't hesitate to come back here next time I'm in the area.

United KingdomI booked Blue Skies Apartment for my wife’s 40th birthday for 2 nights. There was a car park just around the corner with both underground and parking without height restriction (which we needed for our vehicle). The car parking had cctv but to be honest we felt fine leaving the car there. The accommodation itself was brilliant we cannot fault it. It was easy to access, clean and just so beautifully presented. As we arrived there was a card and gift to my wife, it was such a lovely personal touch that was unexpected. We used the kitchen oven to make breakfast but other than that we we ate out. The views were incredible looking out over the boats in the harbour, we very much enjoyed a morning tea in bed looking at that view. We used the local bus to get us around, which was incredibly reasonable and ran every 10 minutes. We would love to come and stay here again. Thank you Blue Skies owners for such a wonderful stay and going the extra mile to make my wife’s stay an extra special one.

United KingdomWe stayed at the beginning of March and the thermostat was set at 13 degrees when we arrived. It was absolutely freezing in the apartment and it took a long time to warm up to a comfortable temperature. A guest information folder was mentioned in an email we were sent but we never found it.
Good location in the centre of town with a car park a 5 minute walk away. Although it was on quite a busy street there was very little road noise Good wifi Plenty of hot water for the shower

United KingdomWhen messaging the host less than a week before enquiring about some information with regards to the property we were informed that it no longer had a bath as it had recently been refurbished to incorporate a larger shower. This was very disappointing as one of the key reasons for choosing this property was for the bath and we felt like we had learned this information far too late to be able to change plans. The property still shows images of a bath which is very misleading for people booking the property. Also considering the bathroom was just refurbished the door as every other in the property was very bashed up and need or repainting, found this to be the case with quite a few things within the property.
Location, comfortable large bedroom.

United KingdomThe day before we were due to leave we discovered that the mattress in the main bedroom had a lot of liquid stains (urine?), at least 75% of the mattress had l yellow liquid stains. We were shocked to discover we had been sleeping on the mattress like this unawares. We contacted the hosts and they at first tried to blame fake tan, the stains clearly aren’t fake tan. We told the hosts that we were uncomfortable now sleeping on the mattress for our last night. They did offer a one night refund if we wanted to check out early but this wasn’t possible. I told them that they should be steam cleaning the mattresses to which they said they would consider it in future but it was difficult with back to back bookings. This is totally unacceptable. My husband slept on the sofa for our last night and I slept in the spare bed in my sons room. Hosts didn’t seems to care at all. Just made excuses for the state of the mattress. We book air b&b regularly and have never come across a mattess so dirty, we have every right to expect a better standard, especially for the price paid. It is a shame really because everything else was fine, no other complaints.
