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 KingdomIf you are choosing the smallest room in the property you should know that one of its walls is like a foldable shirm which means that you'll be able to hear EVERYTHING. Plus getting in and out of the room was a little annoying. Our neighbors were respectful, so it was an issue on this occasion. The ventilation in the bathroom looked minging and definitely needs a change of filter or smth.
The place was clean, instructions for access were clear and straightforward

United KingdomPossibly my mistake, however when I looked it appeared to be one whole apartment we were booking, however there are 3 different rooms within the apartment shared with other people. Luckily there was a bathroom within our room as I would not have liked sharing a bathroom with other random people. Additionally the curtain in the bedroom didn’t fully close so there was a whole window open for people to see in/light to come in. Additionally you collect your keys from an off license and the people in there were rude and hardly spoke! Was a very strange place to collect keys from
The apartment was clean and the beds were very comfy. The location was good and the views were good.

ItalyThe air conditioning was really hot and we couldn’t turn it off (only the small one in the room). Although it is very nice to wake up and go to bed in a place so warm, please make the Earth a favour and keep the air conditioning a bit less hot :)
The flat is really clean and the building is safe. It is not far away from bus and metro station. It is a good option for your stay in London.

United KingdomMY ROOM WAS THE TV ROOM, NO LOCK ON DOOR/DIVIDER, ALSO A MINOR, DULL, CONTINUOUS DRONING SOUND COMING FROM THE AIRCOM IN MY (TV) ROOM. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS KIND OF ROOM, BUT IF I HAD STUDIED THE PHOTO IMAGES, I MAY HAVE WORKED IT OUT? I DID OVER HEAR ONE OF THE OTHER GUESTS SAY 'IS THAT ANOTHER ROOM FOR US TO CHECK OUT', PERHAPS A LARGE, CLEAR SIGN STATING THAT THE TV ROOM IS SOMEBODIES BEDROOM?
LOCATION IS EXCELLENT. BIG TV IN MY ROOM, ALTHOUGH I DID NOT USE IT, I MAY HAVE FOUND THIS A USEFUL DISTRACTION.

United KingdomVery unclear about the bed situation. One of us had to sleep on the chair. Says there was one sofa bed and one futon. But no that's only if you pay for the higher priced one although it definitely mentions 2 seperate beds. Host was very unhelpful and cheeky as well. Key pick was in a very dodgy shop as well. The room only had a thin sliding door between us and the other people sharing the flat so could hear them every time they were in the kitchen.

United StatesThe main problem here was the loud, continuous sound from the ventilation, making the environment uncomfortably noisy. This forced me to use noise-cancelling headphones, even at night, which was far from a perfect solution and unfortunately compromised my sleep quality significantly.
The accommodations presented a mixed bag during my stay. While other rooms and the kitchen seemed well-maintained, the overall experience varied significantly. It felt like a hit and miss situation where consistency in quality and comfort was lacking.

Wonderful place to stay. Great host, very helpful and responsive - no issues whatsoever. Rooms are clean and comfy. Shared space as well. Great location, easy to get to from any airport and railway station, very convenient to travel around London as well as underground stations are nearby and a bus stop just in front of the building. Key drop close by and also happens to be a quite well stocked shop 24/7 which is super convenient. I will be coming back and I recommend highly the place and the host.

ItalyThe terrible experience of finding yourself in a city you don't know, after having paid more than €500, without the owner responding for hours (for keys and instructions to enter the structure) overshadowed all the advantages that were there. We were two 20 year old girls with suitcases without knowing where to go because the owner didn't respond to messages or calls. We thought she had been a scam. After calling booking assistance very angry, the owner deigned to answer us
