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.).

IrelandI had a text msg re entry codes and spent a lot of time trying to find the info because I assumed it was an email. There is no ph or email communication in the evening and no staff in the building so it was nervewrecking until I found it. I wasn't disappointed when I got in. The room was spacious and warm with a large TV, a decorative fire place, a large table and tea and coffee provided. The bathroom was large with a warm towel rail and powerful shower and really white fluffy towels.
I was surprised to find a bottle of wine and Tayto crisps to welcome us. A very nice touch. The price quoted was exceptional.

GermanyI have been travelling for more than 2 decades. This is the first time I faced this amount of problems during a single stay - the biggest of which was my communication with the management team as they operate office hours and every time I would talk / email to a different person who did not have the overview of the situation. To top that off, some of the emails I received from the team where borderline passive-aggressive. 1. Upon arrival, when I opened the door of my room, I found that another guest already staying in the room. When I called the team, no one had any idea how this happened. The staff removed the guest's belongings, but did not thoroughly clean the room. There was a wet towel left on the bathroom floor and the carpet was not vacuum cleaned. 2. When I left the room (to allow time for getting it ready for my stay), I was encouraged to leave my luggage in the room, which I did. In addition, I left some items on the nightstantd, which were also removed by the staff upon arranging the room. This was, of course, a mistake, but it took me a week to get hold of all my belongings. Needless to say that I travelled with my belongings to use for work during my stay. Not having them, severely impacted the outcomes of my business trip. 3. When I asked for an iron, the team suggested that I have to use an iron station hidden behind panels in the ground floor (no iron in the room). In order to access it, I would have to remove the panels and even a plant pot. I do not see how this is considered a communal iron, if I have to rearannge decoration to reach it. 4. The internet only worked from the 3rd day onwards. 5. No hot water during the last day. 6. The shower had mouldy & rusty parts. 7. The team offered compensation worth 1 night's cost, upon my check-out (why did they not process this during my stay, I do not know). I have checked-out for 2 days by now & still haven't heard about the compensation.
The location was nice if you need to be close to the university area. The room is indeed spacious. The bed was comfy. Check-in was straightforward.

AustriaThe first place that I stayed in could have been somewhat larger, but value-for-money-wise there was nothing more to ask for.
I had a good enough start in a nice enough place, but the WIFI didn't work. However, because I was travelling for work, I really needed WIFI. As soon as I had told them about this problem, they relocated me to another place with excellent WIFI (and this place was even nicer). Essentially, I appreciated most that one felt that they made such an effort to fix your problems quickly.

United KingdomIt wasn't an apartment.; Problems getting in front door/room. No wifi. TV inconsistent - channels weren't always available - buffering. Would have been nice to have been able to store luggage after leave time - most places you can and come back to it - so had to have it with us for the rest of the day before getting out flight. Didn't like that part of Belfast, felt a bit unsafe walking the streets.
We had a problem entering the property and the lady who helped us out was extremely helpful - Nicola. I thought the complimentary wine/crisps was a nice touch. The bed was comfortable and the shower was fine. The room was clean.

Located not far from the city centre (within walking distance) Plenty of buses nearby if the weather didn't permit walking. The room was very large with a good side en-suite bathroom. Lovely large walking-in shower. The room was warm but was solved by having a window slightly open during the night. We both slept very well during our stay. Check-in was done via message beforehand and received a call after we checked-out to ensure we were satisfied with our stay. Overall good stay.

United KingdomBathroom unnecessarily big and always chilly. Little desk was wobbly so couldn't really use it for work. Had a major issue with WiFi as I got none whatsoever and had to spent my own data. While someone always replied to my emails this wasn't fixed by the end of my stay. Sound isolation not the best as you can hear the guests upstairs. Could've definitely used on-site assistance, even at minimal hours.
Location and bedroom were convenient. Enough space for clothes. The little boiler and coffee packets were appreciated. TV was also nice and heater worked fine. Overall good for the price.

United KingdomThe is no reception here, all they do is text you a code for the front door and the same code for the bedroom door. Could it be that all bedroom doors have the same code? Anyway, if there are any problems you are stuck, there is no one to sort thing out. The WiFi didn;t work.The room was small and the bed uncomfortable. I received a text on the day of departure informing me that I must wash up the cup I had been using for tea. There are no washing up facilities except the bathroom basin, using the soap I had recently showered with, and drying the cup on the towel I had used after showering; not very hygienic. The area around the hotel is squalid, burnt out houses and pavements full of rubbish, although there are also a couple of new hotels nearby.
Nothing much, the shower was quite good.
