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 KingdomNo channels available on the TV. DVD Player without a lead to plug into the TV. Only 1 mug, with 4 small coffee cups. Fridge had a very strong smell of sour milk.
Location is excellent. Presentation of the apartment is fantastic. Very comfy beds. Easy to access the property, good communication throughout the booking process.

United KingdomI feel I’m being watched. All the time. Even when in apartment. I understand you are protecting your properties but signage indicating there is hidden cctv cameras does cross over into creepy. No Wi-Fi and mobile signal was poor.

United KingdomThe shower door didn’t close properly so allowed some water to escape. Oven gloves and a tea towel to dry dishes would be nice.
It felt homely, spacious and comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, with instructions on how to use the appliances. Instructions on how to access the property were easy to follow, and the heated floor in the bathroom was nice.

Israelthe apartment was really great. the only thing that felt a bit strange was the very small number of utensils and other amenities (1glass. two spoons. two knives.. etc.). probably to enforce a strict no-parties policy, but we felt was a bit uncomfortable.
Great location, easy check in, beautiful design, quiet and peaceful even at the heart of the busy city.

United KingdomAn entire lack of staff presence visible in the property was not necessarily an issue for me in this stay, but no clarity on how quickly I could be attended to if something was required was a slight concern. The only other part of the process which left me feeling slightly unsure was there was one instruction for check out before my stay and then a subsequent instruction on the morning of my exit which I missed because I was in work meetings for the full day. If there are specific instructions for the process of check in and check out I believe they should be made clear upfront to avoid the instructions being missed. My reason for not recommending female friends is the lack of staff presence in the accommodation and the nature of the layout, when I described this to my female colleagues they both said that this would not make them feel comfortable on their own.
Everything about the facility itself was excellent. It was a very spacious living area, very clean and high quality linens etc. Some of the technology was a little dated but this was not a major concern of mine. The communication up to check in was excellent and very clear and the process made my booking, and therefore me, feel very secure in the accommodation.

United KingdomThe property I got sent to was not the one I booked. I specifically booked accommodation near Monument as was meeting friends and family at a local restaurant. I walked from Liverpool Street station and when I was 5 mins away, I called them to let them know I would be arriving very shortly, only to be told that I’m not staying there and I now need to go to St Paul’s cathedral (just over a mile from where I was). The apartment was not the one I booked nor in the area I booked it so overall not very happy with the process and I had to call them to find this out !!!!!

China1. the bed is too small, we were so afraid to fall off the bed all the time. 2. also the bed, we could feel the each spring of the mattress underneath us, it would be nice to replace with a better mattress since after a long day, a good sleep would help a lot. 3. there are only two tiny bottles shower gel and shampoo for us, we need to buy our own ones, it might be nice if the apartment provide big bottles like others do. 4. no salt or any cooking condiments so if u wanna come cook u need to buy it yourself , which we did; there is a washing machine but no laundry detergent, so we also brought one, so whoever stays in apartment 4, u are welcome!
1. Fast response, i booked the apartment right after my previous booking got suddenly cancelled. the management team confirmed with me right away, and even give me the early check in, though I didn't need it, it was good to know we have the option. 2. Cleanness, i wouldn't say the apartment was spotless, but it was clean in general. elevator, it was very important for travellers like us have two huge luggages. 3. location location location, i couldn't be more happy about it. it is literally 5 minutes casual walk to the nearest subway station. and about 15-20 minutes walk to the famous London Tower Bridge.

United KingdomLong winded check-in. Having to register photo ID for each guest is a bit draconian, as is the security bond. Photos in the ad need to be separated out into apartment groups .. we had the deluxe studio. Unfortunately, nothing deluxe about it. Blinds that don't work, broken shower enclosure, and a basin tap that you have to hold to operate because it's loose. In this day and age in London, who doesn't have WiFi? To Cap, it all a fantastic view of air-conditioners ! As comfortable as it was next time, I will go for a hotel for less money..
Nice location.

United KingdomI didn't notice that the flat didn't have wi-fi. I don't think I would have booked it if I had noticed this earlier. Although the main room was huge the bedroom was relatively small in comparison and the shower was a bit tight for me to get into. Once in it was fine, but the entrance to the cubical was narrow. I found it a bit annoying that there was (for a self catering flat) no tea towel to dry up or to even use to get hot things out of the oven. I also thought the flat was little tired in a few spots and while walking up the stairs the inspection panels were all open showing a load of muck and waste. I also didn't like paying/pre-authorising a £250 deposit.
The location was amazing as I was travelling for work at it was only a few hundreds minutes away from the office. The main room was very large, almost too large for such a short stay. The flat was clean and gaining entry was easy with the good communication with the managers
