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 KingdomThe owner had not yet put the keys in the key safe when we arrived at 3:30pm although he had agreed we could arrive at 3pm (their usual check in time). However, this was quickly resolved by a phone call to him. He was with us in less than a minute with the keys. The base of the shower could have been cleaner. We had to plug the fridge in. We were unable to access the wifi although we were happy to use our mobile phones. However, the TV needed wifi to access streaming services so we were unable to use that. The studio we were in. Having listed a number of issues here, I would like to say that I am only doing so because we liked the place and these small issues would change what is already a good place to stay into an exceptional one.
The proximity to the Old Vic and the Underground is good. The cooker, fridge, coffee maker, microwave, sofa and bed are all superior quality. The studio is nicely decorated in a neutral style. The couple of pot plants are a welcome addition.

Czech RepublicBut. The big disappointment was the shower, no matter what time of day you shower the water hardly flows and when it does it is completely icy or boiling. Cleanliness could also be better with lots of dust everywhere. We were also very bothered by the light in the kitchen, it reacts to movement so it is constantly on. We had to tape it over, it was quite annoying at night.
The accommodation met our expectations. The location is great, you are right between several metro stations and even the bus stops are a few min walk so within 20min you are in the very centre. In the apartment you have an equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. The owner always replied within a few minutes and was very helpful

CanadaThere are only two things we found that can be improved: 1. There were no wash cloths or drying cloths in the kitchen. Adding them would be great 2. There was no adequate garbage can in the unit. We only moved the small garbage can from the washroom to the kitchen. Please place a garbage can in the kitchen. One other comment, not related to items that we did not like. The unit is in the third floor, make customers aware that there is no elevator.
Nice, clean place in a convenient location. Close to buses and Underground, as well as easy walking distance to the London attraction. Safe neighborhood.

South AfricaRenovations at the time. Flight of staircase, steep. The checkout time has advertised was 12 noon when I made the booking. Subsequently, when I asked for a late checkout, I was informed check out is 11:00. I thought that was dishonest. Additionally, I got this updated checkout late and saw the message close to 11:00 am. I had to rush to get out the apartment just before 12:00noon
Location perfect

TurkeyAll was so good
I felt like i am at my home. It was so clean, sun light comes from everywhere, everything have been thought you may need. I am celiac so i needed to cook everyday as well. If you need to do economy for food in outside while you are traveling or any reason, it was a perfect choice for me and i worked in that room as well. I highly recommend to choose, it worth the price. I also liked the staff who helped me for everything via phone. He was so helpful kind and able to reach whenever you need. Thanks again to him!

MaltaNo hot water in the taps or shower. We tried to get a hold of the owner to no avail when we found out there wasn't any hot water in the taps or shower after twisting and turning every tap. We even checked the entire property to see if there was a hidden switch ( which would be stupid ) We messaged the owner and they outright ghosted us and didn't provide any explanation for why the property had no running water. Be careful when booking this property. No compensation was offered so had to do a chargeback. Booking.com said the owner said there was not hot water. So they didn't bother to get back to us but bothered to get back to booking.com
The room was clean and the cleaner we met was nice. That's about it.

IcelandThere was a really strong smell of weed inside the room upon arrival. That alone made it feel uncomfortable. The facilites in the bathroom are very worn out, so they feel a bit unclean and there was a dirty mop in the corner. The toilet seat was loose and the walls are very very thin. I wasn't expecting luxury for this price, however, just feeling more comfortable after a long day out would have been most welcome. Also, I know the standards of housing are quite different in London/England, so maybe for some this would be quite ok.
The host was very helpful and friendly, swift replies anytime needed and he wanted to make sure we were fine. The location is also excellent, easy walking distance to Southbank and well connected to the tube etc. We slept really well, the premises were quiet.
