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 KingdomEverything about this apartment was fantastic, the location was perfect for us as we were working 1 minute walk away, but after work it was so nice to be so central, no noise, bed was super comfy, the hosts were very helpful. Facilities were literally like home from home, I cant wait to stay again. Everything was very clean.

United KingdomOnly quibble was hard beds, but that’s a personal choice. I personally prefer a bit of memory foam and feather pillows. But for 2 nights only it’s not a deal breaker.
Beautiful apartment, very well equipped. It’s in an excellent location, just off the end of Princes Street with multitudes of bars, restaurants, and shops just a step away. Despite being central didn’t suffer any noise at all. Fantastic place, definitely would stay there again.

The tram to the airport (west end) is about 200m away, the airlink bus stop is opposite the entrance of the apartment and the hop on and hop off bus stops around the corner! Superb!

Amazing facilities. Really lucked out as it was available at such a reduced price for my work trip. It was like pure luxury, especially when colleagues were stuck at hotels without windows!

GreeceNo problem was recorded. There was a mixup with the spare set of keys, but nothing that didn't get solved, quite fast. I would suggest you to get a bigger bed in the second bedroom. It was a bit strechy!
In the heart of the city. Karen Di Rollo was very helpful. The flat was clean and comfortable. Supermarkets and shops are close to it. All the sights are just around the corner. I highly recommend it.

United KingdomShower in the main bathroom when used didn’t stay directly on you, the shower head moved when any water pressure was applied. My Son’s bed in the 2nd bedroom also had the headboard banging as it wasn’t attached very well to the bed. Mattress was too firm, but this is down to personal preference.
Perfect location for all amenities & tourist attractions. Separate bedroom and living room space, plenty room to just chill out & relax.
