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.).

United KingdomNo towels on arrival, mentioned via text and phone call but none were forthcoming. General wear and tear was visible, broken chair, cracked paint. Bathroom, particularly the shower could do with an upgrade/refresh
Excellent location and superb comms ahead of arrival. Response to an issue we had with the boiler was super speedy.

United KingdomThe heating is set on a timer and temperature which we found too hot and stuffy. Even opening windows it was hard to cool the place down. Not a bad complaint I know.

United KingdomNeighbour below the apartment who subjected me to aggressive abuse at the door of the flat 5 minutes after arriving. Felt threatened and resulted in disturbed night with children tiptoeing around the apartment and stayed out as much as possible. Outside the hosts control but needs addressed. I would not stay in this apartment again but would stay with domini

United KingdomA mismatched bathroom suite, rusty radiator, mold on wall. No freezer facilities. Years of dust and fluff on light fittings. Filthy, dog hair/sand everywhere. Spilled drinks under couch. Sofa bed falling apart. Draughty patio doors. Broken furniture held together with sellotape?? Bad tile finish in Kitchen. Many of these issues being reported to them years ago?? We lost 3hrs of Saturday due to having to pack, move and unpack again. Moved to 57 Churchill tower which obviously hadn't even been checked if it was fit for habitation even though there was a Donnini member of staff in the vicinity when we arrived. It had a really strong smell of stale cigarette smoke. Tobacco/ash on furniture. Holes in wall held together with sellotape. Litter under beds, blood stained mattress. All soft furnishings in living room had marks & stains. Filthy windows, cobwebs. Remnants from past tenants in wardrobes, on kitchen cupboards and in hallway cupboard. Dirty grout in bathroom. Dirty/broken glasses. Sticky floors. Dirty, threadbare living room rug. Literally a burst couch in living room. Clanging parking garage door below reverberating right through the flat regularly. We were woken at 6am by it this morning! 11 emails and over 100 photos later and all we get are paltry excuses and offered £40 off our NEXT 'Luxury' Donnini stay by a nameless employee who kept banging on about Donini's high standards! Making a complaint to booking.com as this wasn't by any means a cheap break. This was supposed to be a treat for the last few days of bereavement leave so needless to say we will never book another Donnini managed property.

United KingdomWell, sofa in sitting room is not comfortable at all. Only other small thing I can think of is, there was no baking trays for the oven, that's it.
The view right out to sea is amazing. There is a balcony to sit at and a lift to take you to all floors, which was essential for me. The girl in the office, Heather was so lovely. She checked twice in the 5 days I was there, to make sure everything was ok and was kind enough to sort out an extra night stay for me at a great price. This is the 2nd Donnini apartment I have stayed in and I can highly recommend them.

It is hard to find anything positive to say about this accommodation. Probably the worst I stayed in All rooms in that apartment need a good clean There was black marks on all walls don't know when it was last painted The bathroom was disgusting black mould all over the tiles. The shower dolls disgustedly dirty ceiling all stained First night and most of the next day no hot water This property is not suitable for children I start at too many hazards I am disappointed in booking.com because I did trust you

United KingdomThe place was not that clean. Some of the kitchen utensils, pots and glasses were not clean either which was disappointing. We also had a letter from the neighbour downstairs about us walking around upstairs and making too much noise even though we were not? The login for the TV told us their were too many people in the network and wouldn’t let us watch.
The location was great and the host was contactable.
