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.).

New ZealandWe seemed to have trouble setting an even shower temperature and ended up with either very hot water or very cold, and not much in between.
Great location and views (we loved the gorgeous sunset). Warm. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed cooking a couple of meals there. Good sized rooms.

United KingdomIt was January so it was a little cold when we arrived and took a while to heat up. Perhaps a timer would be good. The property was advertised as having parking, but it was on street parking and we had a lot of stuff in the car. I expected there to be dedicated sage parking. We were a tad worried leaving it out of sight overnight. But all was good. The TV/DVD could do with an upgrade.
Good central location, nice views, comfortable beds, comfortable sofas, good supply of kitchen goods. Didn’t notice any noise from the neighbours’ or from the road outside. Plenty of hot water for showers.

United StatesThere was only one bathroom which for four people was well interesting. Also this was t a problem per say, but this location operates like an Airbnb so you are sorta on your on.
It was a really good place to spend one night. Easy to walk to town center and the space was large so our group of four wasn’t right on top of each other.

United KingdomNothing that's the owner's problem really, we all have a logic as to what we'd put where in a kitchen cupboard but there's nothing absolute about that :D If I had to nitpick, the bathroom sink is in a bit of a tight spot but it's an old building and the room is just a bit narrow and it'd be tricky to put it anywhere else.
The rooms were spacious and had some really nice views over the bay, caught some unexpected views of the Waverly passing through. Niece appreciated the unexpected presence of a Peppa Pig DVD!

United StatesAlthough we found perfect on-street parking for our Sunday overnight stay, it might have been trickier for two nights or more.
Perfect location: very short walking distance to downtown and the harbor, right near the ferry terminal, great view of the harbor from bedroom window. Well appointed kitchen, nice big rooms, Victorian apartment building with character and modern comfort

New ZealandThe shower is unacceptable. It has a 20-30 second cycle from cold to tepid to scalding, making showering extremely challenging, and the water pressure is poor. The floors are very creaky, so anyone getting up at night disturbs the others, but that may not be a problem for other people.We wouldn’t have wanted to spend more than one night there.
Pleasantly appointed, comfortable beds, lovely view from lounge, central.

United KingdomThe heating only works on one setting but that wasn’t explained to us until I phoned. This should be stated upfront. The rear ‘garden’ is not attractive. The bedroom curtains need to be lined to block out the lights. Some maintenance needs done and cleaning e.g. shower room tiles, freezer defrosted.
We enjoyed the spacious rooms and light decor. It is a comfortable apartment and well furnished though bedside tables should be provided. The location is good though parking is difficult nearby. The views of the harbour are fantastic and of constant interest. This was a highlight.
