Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe doors were very squeaky, the front door lock was a little sticky and needed a couple of attempts to get it to lock.
Great size of apartment, there was an ensuite in one of the rooms, ample parking.

AustraliaThe internal doors are fire doors, so it was hard to keep open, and keep rooms warm. The lounge was not that comfortable.
Plenty of room, great to have a fridge, oven and washing machine. Ground floor was convenient.

MaltaDespite the positive aspects, there were a few areas that could use some attention. The keys for the apartments to check in were placed in different envelopes but in one same safe. This felt quite unsafe as other guests had access to that safe upon check in. We encountered an issue with the emergency contact number, which did not work when we had some questions. We had to figure it out by ourselves how some things had to work, such as heating of the apartment and Wifi. Since no one came at 10.00 for check out, we stayed in the apartment waiting until someone arrived. At 10:45, the manager called us with an unexpectedly angry tone, demanding that we vacate immediately due to late check out. This abrupt and inadequate communication was quite surprising and left a negative impression.
Our stay at this apartment was overall pleasant. All the amenities and items provided were in good working condition, which made our stay comfortable. The room size was generous, providing ample space for us to relax and move around comfortably. One of the biggest advantages was the convenience of parking right outside the apartment, which made it very easy for us to come and go as we pleased.

AustraliaThere are no lifts in the building. We requested a ground floor apartment for my mobility impaired mother (which we did receive) however she was unable to shower because she couldn’t climb into the bath. Having accessible bathrooms in the ground floor apartments would be very helpful. Was a bit further out of the city than I was expecting - a 10 min drive.
Great kitchen facilities & very spacious. Staff were wonderfully helpful when we were late arriving & couldn’t access our apartment - thank you. Free & easy parking.

United KingdomThere were no hooks in the bathroom or bed room to hang the bath sheet after use. I only stayed a night but would have fold this an issue if staying longer. The TV in the living room was small.
I liked the location being just outside the city centre as it was quiet at night time. The bed was also very comfortable.

United KingdomThe flush mechanism on the loo was not fit for purpose and was tricky to use successfully. The bathroom sink didn't drain properly. Also, the doors to the property are fire safe so close automatically; we had to prop them open (H&S people ignore this comment!) so we could hear the kids and the dog.
Location excellent for our needs. Clean and comfortable.
