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 KingdomThe sofa bed/sofa were uncomfortable to sit on. We can't comment on what they were like to sleep on, hopefully more comfortable than sitting on. The ensuite bathroom had a horrible smell and assumed it must be the drains as this was there on arrival and when we left on day 3.
The views from the apartment were lovely overlooking the park and out to see. Location is spot on and great for us as a family. The apartment was clean and had good facilities in the kitchen. TV facilities were good with Netflix and some games to play on the shelf.

IndiaThe apartment is on the 2nd floor; so bit difficult to get all the luggage through the stairs. The cleanliness should be improved; with many utensils left not being cleaned. One bathroom only has a tub without any shower facilities; this should be added. One bathroom door & bedroom blind needs to be repaired.
The location was great, just in front of the park overlooking the sea beach & very near Town Center. The apartment is quite spacious with all kitchen equipment’s.

United Kingdomwe use this apartment regularly
The property is great and is clean, the kitchen has all utensils. The only problem was that the drains from the shower , basin and bath all had gone stagnant and really smelt awful . We had to clean all the drain areas which made it fine and good smelling. Maybe the cleaners should put some cleaner down the drains and wash it out before leaving.

United KingdomThe tenant in the apartment below smoked constantly on his balcony/ window- which rose and spoilt any experience sitting on the balcony outside, especially with a 6 month old baby. i complained to booking. com but my complaint was ignored. The en suite bathroom smelt of drains from the beginning of our weeks stay - this was also ignored- eventually the kitchen sink blocked and we were told a plumber would fix this but this did not transpire- very difficult to manage with a baby. Communication with booking. com was abysmal, and sadly what could have been a lovely stay was disappointing and not worth the price paid
The location was excellent, size of apartment and view, kitchen very well equiped
